8ntruck 8,860 #9651 Posted 4 hours ago I really like that fireplace. I've always wanted to build a masonry arch. Might tackle a project like this on our property in Ky. Jealous of your weather. It has been a typical mid Michigan Memorial Day weekend here - 50's and drizzle or rain the last two days. Sunshine today, supposed to get into the 70's - just in time for the folks camping to pack up and go home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 46,063 #9652 Posted 4 hours ago Back home after spending 5 cold rainy days at my sister's farm in western Pa. Over 3 inches of rain with a 45* high temp. I did manage to fill a spring gobbler tag on Saturday. Sorry, no pictures...wet turkey do not photograph well. Also attended my 65th Meyersdale High School reunion on Saturday. We do something unique, where we have a banquet every year at the high school for the graduating class and every class that graduated on the 5 year multiples of the current year. We had 2 from 1956, 5 from my 1961 class, 8 from my sisters 1966 class, and the numbers increased until a disappointing 8 of the 2026 class attended. The rain did have the forest floors covered in beautiful green ferns. A 340 mile long bike path passes along the farm in Sand Patch, Pa. Probably a 3 day ride for Mike @Sparky. This path begins in Washington, DC and follows the C & O canal tow path to the gap in Cumberland, Md., then follows railroad beds to Pittsburg, Pa going thru several mountain tunnels along the way. Here it crosses the lane into the farm. Stopped by Red Square Corner at the Big Show site on the way home. No bridges out and all roads in good shape leading to the Show. 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The circus tent is ready! I know 3 's are going to be there. Not sure if the other 2 's are going to cut loose with the cash for fuel and make it. Gonna miss the short walk to the concession stand for a burger. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 46,556 #9654 Posted 3 hours ago My home weather station recorded 2.75" of rain for this holiday weekend. Finally stopped so I can get some lawn trash to the curb! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here it crosses the lane into the farm. My wife and I rode the whole thing both ways, but it took us more than 3 days, more like 3 years. We would park the travel trailer and do out and back rides as far as practical, then move to a new location and do it again. The only section that we rode one way was from Big Savage Mountain tunnel to Cumberland, MD, had no desire to climb back up that mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lions want the church group to cut loose with some cash because they own the kitchen equipment. Hope they never win the Super Bowl!
