Made a little trip up to Scappoose Oregon. Did a little halftrack camping! Then took Zelda on a road march! Lots of fun!

Well actually did a little work on  Zelda Wednesday, after using Steve’s fuel tank in Zelda for a couple of years, it was time to get it back to him and install the new tanks that have been sitting for a while. Steve has a cool system for draining tanks, so we transferred the fuel to his track, pulled the tank and moved it to his track.

Have the new tanks in place now I need to plumb them up and get the wiring in. It will be nice to have both tanks in. Glad Steve didn’t charge me rent on the tank!

Anyone who tells you how much free time you’ll have when you retire is full of it!

My sister retired a couple of years ago and now says that as hard as it is to get time now to do her chores at home done, she can't figure out how she did it with 4 kids at home and job and chores!

Yeah, but Don - it’s still ‘way better than working! Plus, all the time you’re now spending on half tracks, dozers, etc. would otherwise be wasted producing revenue or some other ridiculous endeavor.

A little upgrade to Zelda, new fuel tanks! Steve finally decided to repo his tank that I’ve had for ah, well, gee a few years. But it will be nice to have twin tanks! Paul makes some nice tanks!

Well when you get your halftrack done you get to fun things......... like today took Zelda to the Bethel Boosters car show! It’s nice to help educate kids on History.



First outing of the season!
