I feel a bit daft not going there before, one prat I know slagged him and I was daft enough to believe pratto even though I know the prat to be a bullsihtting fuckwit. Like I say nice to be proved wrong, also the chap has a cash price for small jobs, now that is a blast from the past. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sunny today and just above freezing. Lower than I thought it would have been. Cool. Our house is at 10,000' / 3048 meters. Cool today at 4F / -16C . Some pics from the journey to town today... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet the deer hunting is good too Most skiing in the Alps tops out at that kind of height, tho some places do go up to 3600 or so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesmoDog Posted Thursday at 00:11 Share Posted Thursday at 00:11 If I could make it into Canada I'd have a chance to make Alaska. But, I think I'd end up getting home about four days later than you. Or just buying a house in Billings and calling it good. Though it would give me an excuse to buy another V85 so I'd have something somewhat disposable to do it on... I could leave sometime in June and meet you in BC... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted Thursday at 10:55 Share Posted Thursday at 10:55 It is a very mild day, but wet and windy too. 1st job is to sort out the slight water leaks coming from the roof, and take down some shelves that are slowly collapsing, it will pass a hour or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted Thursday at 15:40 Share Posted Thursday at 15:40 When I had my Lambretta in 1979 I used ride around in a pair of work trousers, donkey jacket and gardening gloves.

Catteeclan Posted Thursday at 17:26 Share Posted Thursday at 17:26 Took a test drive today while watching data on the diagnostic tool and scrapped the front wing turning back into my drive. I then remembered I had my reading glasses on, well that's my excuse. How's the extension going Bob? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
