Happy Late Year!

With the new year comes a new list of goals and priorities. First and foremost for 2010, Nancy and I will be celebrating 10 years of marriage. God willing we will be going someplace tropical...and without the kids! It will be good for the two of us to get away together and reconnect.

Second on the list is making sure the buggies are trail ready. The 5th annual Buggy Bash will once again be in our backyard at St. Joe state park in Park Hill, MO. That's just about an extra 20 minutes past Goose Creek Lake. With over 20 states represented and enthusiasts coming from as far as Florida and Washington state, how could I not go? The Yerf Dog needs a serious brake upgrade and the Tomberlin still needs the exhaust pipe fixed. With the bigger jets in the carb the muffler needs gutted too! And then there's the buggy hauler. I still need to fabricate the rear gate / ramp and to add the railing. Of course I'm going to need a place to do all this work. So, I guess it's time to clear out the garage and make a man cave!

As far as the lake goes, the roofing sealant failed to stop the leak in the closet of the Prowler. The Mobile Scout rehab is always on the list and someday I'll actually put up that shed.

Finally, at home there is lots of painting to be done, the driveway to seal and the deck to refinish...and let's not forget the hole I have to cut in the wall of the main bath to replace bathtub faucet.

I'm not even going to include the things I need to do for work. We'll see how many of these boxes get check marks before 2011! First on that list is the hovercraft!
