Anyone know where Jim's staying? I hope all is ok with him.

Jim's been working on his property out in Jordan River every weekend, so he's been pretty busy. No cell phone service out there. Really nice and peaceful.

Yup he's been busy trying to get it done. I think there's still beer involved though?

Yup he is trying to get ready for retirement, LOL. Talked to him online a few weeks ago. Big Party at the Shipyard in late Sept.

Still kicking...just busy as sh... On the 3rd replacement driver at work (don't ask cry). Working on JR/c10/house along with the wife's/daughters vehicles. Month to go at work...then maybe I can catch up. Heading away for a few days with the family..so I can finally get a few days off. Got the 57 on the road after 4 years! and one thing leads to another at JR. Was going to put the bathroom on the new rear deck..but the wife said it blocks the view of the boat. Soooooo....build another deck for the washroom. It's all good...busy but enjoying myself and it will get there one day. Also enjoying the time with my folks as they come out every weekend to camp.

Built a camp site for Ma and Pa. They sure look forward to coming out every weekend. Dad's in his 80's but still runs the chainsaw while I sit on my butt and grab the logs with the machine and thumb.

Looking good Jim. One of these years I will see it in person.
I made a similar spot at the farm for Mom & Dad's 5th wheel, not quite as picturesque, but it gets them out of the city and close to the shed where he can work on his replacement car project.

 Always nice to have them hanging around...
