Good morning!!!!

[B7510HSD]

let's see you are 2500 miles from me, truly in the wild wild west
nestled along the Clearwater River
I can see why you need a good antenna and an amp
I hope it's ok if I'm curious (gosh we can see if can set off more buzzers...)
are you part American Indian?
would be meaningful/cool if you were
whole area appears heavily tribal

if I ever make it out that way again, definitely want to do it earlier in year so I can go further North.
as much as I'd like to see Ted I don't need to go back to the S/W any more.
would rather be up with the buffalo.
and I didn't see one buffalo last time so I guess that means I have to try again...

Drew no I am not part of the American Indian. And the tribe does own lots of land around here.

got a nice reply from Ted.
Dona is doing better, and they got out on a rv trip to Colorado with his
Ram and travel trailer. Said it revved too much on hills, and when he got home traded to
a lease return Cummins diesel Ram. That will solve that problem, better engine for local mountains, though he is down
on the flat. Where the snow will pile up and snow fences are needed.

ted got a foot of wet snow
I'd say they are making the best of things which is all good.

Good morning. We received over a foot of snow last night. Mid 20s now and I’m on my second cup of coffee considering firing up the tractor to plow. I decided to take a leave day today rather than fight the roads and crazy drivers.

did you know there is a radio free area in West Virginia.
Scott sure won't be saying hello to anyone there for sure.
this couple that was introduced in this video are a hoot, no filters on their mouths.

but no matter what, I bet this would be a nice drive for a Buckeye adventure some day.
no cell service at all unless you buy a satellite phone and you can't use that either
in the inner quiet zone.
Cacapon Resort State Park and Canaan Valley Resort State Park, which are highly rated state parks with full hookups, amenities, and natural beauty

Have been there many times, as recent as this last summer. No cell signal isn't just around Greenbanks, but a lot of WV is that way, just because of the mountains and sparse population. But Cacapon State park is nowhere near it. If you go, best way from the north is down the valley via Moorefield, Petersburg, senecaRocks, Judys Gap (stop and eat at the gateway restaurant), Barlow, Greenbank, cass..
Here are some of the sights:
2025: One of my buddies we eat with all the time grew up here. He goes down every summer and camps in the wilderness for a week. He had a birthday party there this year. He does carry a satellite phone and uses it there. My phone was in SOS mode the whole time, but it does that in my house also...

Younger buckeye there in 1985, with a portable vcr and camera. the video from that trip is here:

Day started with lack of sleep. Was up about 2 am and never really got back to sleep.

Had my breakfast meeting, minus one guy who went to Lancaster to see the same Christmas show we saw tuesday.

Wife informed my the treadmill was broken, the "It had a crack". The belt is starting to tear, as it was riding to one side. She claims she told me before, I said this was the first time hearing about it..... Anyways, I have it tracking in the center again, but will need to replace the belt soon, as it has small tear on one side.

She made Costco run before her hair cut. I stayed home and fixed things. Also got new batteries in the weather station. Had to reset it for it to pick up inside again. I ended up bringing the outdoor unit in to do that, instead of trying to work out in the cold.

BB and snagglepuss were both in today some, now both are in the garage with their supper.

Think I have my retiree healthcare plan for next year decided. Made the change online.
