Winter is Coming

Hey All Winter is coming! That means that my work is slow. So I have more time to work on projects. I'm hoping to paint my Scotty Tonga and put back together a Honda mini trail I'm restoring. I spent sunday at the airport with my son Adam. We had a great time. It was sunny and warm. I gave Adam a flying lesson and then he help me wash the plane.

Adam is very much at home in the plane.

He has been flying in small planes is whole life

After we were done working at the hanger. We went for a ride. Here is Adam riding a 1970 Honda Trail 70. We take this bike camping with us. Its great for getting around campgrounds.

The View Out of My Office

I know, what a office view

I was working today. What I call work is flying a few sites and waiting for the phone to ring.

You can see the city of Pittsburgh in the background

This is Robert Morris University. They are great clients.

I have been photographing there expansion for many years

Poor Trailers and Vintage Bikes

I went to look at this 75 Argosy for sale at a campground. It was owned by a guy for many years. It was used as a summer camp and had not been towed for a very long time. It was all there but it needed everything. The frame was rusty the floor was bad. They said it was a 20 footer. That was the reason I went to look at it. It turned out to be a 26 footer. I passed on it. It is still for sale.

This is a Scotty that's for sale a few miles from my house. I have been driving by this trailer for years. It never moved. Today its up by the road for sale. I stopped and looked at it. It was in OK shape on the inside. The outside is pretty ruff.

Amanda hadn't ridden her little blue Honda for long time. I fixed a tire so I could ride it to the mail box. She saw me working on it and won't to ride it. Yes it's a vintage 1971 Hinda SL70. I taught her to ride it when she was nine.




Here is Amanda when she was nine washing her bike. She was so proud to have a bike.

Here's me showing my skilled riding ability

Check out the the Vintage Trailer Supply hat.

Yes anyone can buy shelving from IKEA

Yes anyone can buy shelving from IKEA. Anyone other then me. In my world, I just get to work. Today I started with a empty bay in my shed. By the end of the day, I'm all moved in.

This is my lumber. This is rough cut pine I had milled.

Laying out shelving

This is looking pretty good!

All moved in.

Custom built selves for bins

Side shelving is 5 feet wide and 8 feet high

Not bad for one day's work!

Great Time Camping

Yes, After all the work I've been doing. I was ready for a break. We packed up our Scotty on Friday and headed south to a place called Chestnut Ridge Park in WV to met some of our Scotty friends. The weather was great. It was warm during the day and there was a cool breeze at night. We did have some rain, I wouldn't have wanted to be in a tent. But we were warm and dry in our Scotty.

We had a great time around the campfire. I ate way to much at the potluck dinner. The kids had fun hanging with there Scotty friendsa. I hardly saw them all weekend. We have one more fall camp out planned. We will take our Airstream east for a fall rally.

Scottyport Looking Good

My Scottyport is looking good. I have been working on it all week. I still need to hang gutters. I also have some more trim work to do. Today, I'm pack for a campout with our Scotty group in WV.
