I was waiting for some serious carnage when he backed all the way up to the motorhome and then pinned it. 

Great trip for sure. The dunes were awesome, but a little hard to see. Definitely a great way to end the season. Sunday night it was just Robert and Silvia with me and my wife with no one around. So quiet.

@John@Outfront The wind blew really good and there was sand drifts all over the road. I came in at night with my motorhome and trailer. As I  came around a corner doing 30 there was a huge sand drift on the road. It was a butt puckering moment when I hit it. Also most of road runner is covered and I almost got stuck there. When you go out next weekend be careful on Gecko. Its pretty messed up. 

will do  we are still planning on getting out there in 2 days!  thanks for the heads up

family is safe--what a relief! 

reading your story...sounds like you have a son named Camber?  i named my daughter Camber when she was born 33 years ago!  cool!

So parked too close to the edge and pad gave way?

That video warms the soul as I have a 30 year old downs son!  Love it ❤️ 

Had a few hour to clean the garage then went to a church pinewood derby race. I was the MC. Had 45 cars enter. These were made from the 7-11 year olds. Had an outlaw race afterwards. Top five medaled and then 5 more awards for best in show, best paint, most creative, etc. lots of fun. Had laser score boards multiple heat races, score boards. It was a great day for the kids

In Glamis since yesterday.  Finally some awesome sand.  Wild day yesterday.  Came across a dude walking the dunes.  He and a buddy lawn darted.  Hit up some neighbors to assist.

Big RV got stuck on pad 5.  Tried to help but in the end a town truck came. ***he's still stuck

About to light up Blackstone for breakfast  

How does an Rv get stuck on pad 5? Sand drifts? Hoping weather holds for next weekend when I go

Wed,  with permission I drove my tractor through a persons property to get my tractor to a land locked parcel and rented it to a neighbor. Once neighbor was finished I had to drive my tractor back across first neighbors 5 acre dirt lot with a home on it. The pad is mostly level but had a little erosion going on so i decided to be nice a take a few passes on their dirt. There was one little section that had a slight hill of dirt. 6” high by 8 feet across. I thought a would just level that out

well I tore off the top and 12” of the septic tank riser. 40 year old lady came out freaking out. What is that?  I told her that’s were her poop goes. She goes back in the house and I see her taking video of me. I’m like this is not good. No good deed goes unpunished. The guy who rented the tractor bought a new piece and so today (Saturday) I went up and fixed it

a crappy way to start my weekend. I have better things to do later today

prayers!

well........... my wife wants things done and for some reason "me" I find lots of reasons why they cant get done in a timely fashion......

sounds about the same

I always tell my wife that she only needs to remind once every 6 months  for projects that are delayed  lol

First did a 250 mile ride with the wife on my 1290 SAS from anahiem to crest line, arrow head, green valley snd big bear. Points of interest was the first McDonald’s restaurant in San Bernardino  eagles nest in big bear , lunch. 10 bikes, 13 people. Then we went to palm desert. Near Anza and Palm Springs to the “living desert zoo and garden” it’s a zoo and a light display. The light part starts at 6:30 pm to 10 pm. Great family destination. It was a 19 hour long day!

My recommendation to Y'ALL.....................Don't challenge him to an EPO Race! Peace

What’s an EPO?

62,   6'1" 240  mind is active all day,  nights got to get up to pee 1-3 times, but go outside and check out the stars!

i take a low dose of blood pressure and cholesterol  5 and 10mm.  blood pressure and pulse are awesome at night but it seems to race a lot just to get up and pee!  used to ride my mountain bike twice a week until covid messed that up.  i need more physical exercise.  work around the house all day long on weds and am very active at work.  could fall asleep in 5 min anywhere, let me just sit down and poof im out.  

go big or go home!  Love it

They full on sent the Cavalry  it was fun to watch

Then another cop comes down another street so they will come at him from both sides of the building. Then two more cops come at full speed hauling down the street. The next thing I see is a cop chasing the guy on foot. Now another cop comes with a k9 barking then a few more cops come. In all 8 coo cars the cop took this guy down hard right in the middle of the street on the asphalt. 4 lane road completely blocked. Major on lookers. Then the cops come back to my shop. I asked if he was a bad guy. They said yeah we know him and he’s a bad guy. Homeless and sells drugs. He then pulls up a full laptop screen of the guy on his computer   Is that him?  My mechanic 100% confirmed identity. They said because he resisted he will get some time. If he didn’t it would have been a ticket. 

So I have had a parts car in front of my shop for a while and a homeless guy and girl have been taking advantage of using it for their abode. We lock it often but somehow they keep getting in. Well one time they opened a door really hard and put a 5” dent in another cars fender. So the other night I was closing down the shop at 5:30. Sitting on my coach and I see the guy through my shop doors go into the car. I say what the heck I’m calling the police. Some time they take 2 hours but who knows. Anyways I tell them that I don’t want to approach the car cause he could be armed. Well 10 min later he exits the car and walks to a small shopping center/strip mall. Oh man, cops aren’t here. Well 2 min later two cop cars pull into my shop. I tell them they are too late but as I tell them I see the guy across the street. T shirt, blue jeans, back pack bald head. One cop leaves my parking lot in a little rush to other side of the street (island in between the two sides) then….,,,, 

How cool!  How old are you? How far away are you ftom work?  May you have success!!!

Have one of my kids over and her family. Have a niece and her family over. Pizza, jacuzzi and Billards until late last night. Rented and delivered a skip loader. Had # 3 chicken hatch this morning. Wife is trying to get another 15 chicks for her chicken condo. We have 27 producing chickens making about 24 eggs a day. Feed the baby tortoises 

Happy Easter! Through his Atonement (from the death on the cross until his resurrection 3 days later) he has conquered death and sin. Death- that we will all live again (we will all be resurrected, good or bad) and Sin, that if we  repent, we can be forgiven of our sins and shortcomings, our trespasses and pains and sorrows.  And live through eternity a more abundant life!  Thank you Jesus. 

During the week went and visited my aunt in hospice for Good Friday  I don’t know why some images are upside down?

Went to a rental to install new garbage disposal, hvac filter and fix a sliding door. Checking out lots of water crossings near my house. This storm has already dumped 3.5” since midnight

bummer.....nice tip for the rest!
