I like It more every minute

I'm so happy with the choice that I made concerning the Ranger and putting tracks on it. It doesn't get stuck, you don't have to dig it out and it has plenty of power even in all the wooptie's on the way in. Making 2 trips in and out in the past 24 hrs I am sold on it. After my experiences last year with having to dig out the snowmobiles and having to get other people to come break trail just toi get to the dam, this is definitly the machine to solve all the problems it is the solution. There have been many people that were skeptical and even though it's been less than 24 hrs I believe it will be the machine of choice for Trinity. I plan to put it through it's paces especially since the tracks were fabricated to fit the Ranger we have broken new ground and only time will tell but I plan to see just what it can or can not do, my money is on can. More later Namaste friends

The Brute where it belongs at Trinity 

IT's Here and Boy is it Great

Oh so you thought I was talking about the Ranger (must come up with a different name) and after an interesting start to the morning and not getting to Issaquah until almost noon and all that with goes with going to the city, well I'm not. I'm talking about finally getting some help here, after about a 14 month delay and sidetrack trips my friend finally got here, and she actually got to ride in the new ride second I was first when loading it up. Well this is really a blessing it will make things so much better, having a back up here not having to rush back all the time and being ale to go when I need to, not quite sure how to handle it yet but it is definitely good, sorta like life , it continues to get better each moment, Paradise just gets better and better every day. The Ranger is the only way to travel back and forth from Trinity to the garage at Fish Lake it goes right over the snow. I have to admit it got many strange looks on the trailer but even more looks up close, while coming through Monroe we got behind a truck pulling a trailer with a snowcat on it looked just like the Ranger just bigger and much wider tracks, I'll be giving my spin on the tracks and how well they do or don't work, so far I'm sold if you can't go anymore which doesn't happen just back up and start again, it's so sweet compared to having to dig out many many times last year. I'll be back with more later once the sun comes up and I can see what I'm doing we'll put it through it's paces but still have to go easy got to break it in right. I've already got half of the miles so it'll be ready to have the oil changed tomorrow. Namaste and blessings to to all.

A few of the things I saw going to get the Ranger 

This is what you've heard about now you can see it in all it's glory. What a pleasure to come home in, actually had to pull of coat got too warm in the cab with the heater turned off. Most definitely the way to travel in the snow

Help is on the Way

Well wouldn't you know it I finally have help coming and are in Seattle but I can't get them in right now because of the snow, definitely need the Ranger, right now it would be one person or thing at a time and about a 4 hour roundtrip just to get to the garage. It's all good and everything happens when it is supposed to happen and for every trial there is a new challenge to overcome. this isn't the first time she has been here though and so many times there are consequences for our choices, it might sound good at the time but then it never works out quite the way we thought it would. In fact this same friend was on her way here last Sept but got sidetracked in Montana helping out a friend and didn't make it then, now she has many more miles under her belt and now she's a couple of hours away but still not any closer to being home. It's going to be nice to have someone else here to help out, especially with the things that I'm not too good at. It will be nice to leave and know that everything will be ok while I'm gone so that if I need to stay longer than 24 hours I can do that, and not worry about whether the plant will stay up or not. Temea and I have been friends for a long time now and no matter what is happening in our lives we seem to stay in touch. In Austin we used to do everything together I introduced her to having fun n life and enjoying each moment, took her to concerts and we even worked at Willie's 4th of July Picnic in 2003 together. She even came out here with me when I left TX to start over here in WA and went back but came back here in Dec of 2003, we were roomates for about 3 months but one of the roomates left one day and they left a couple of weeks later because of the expense. That was just about 5 months before I moved to Trinity and found Paradise. I enjoy the peace and solitude but then it is nice to have someone to talk to now and then. This will be nice in that there will be someone here to help do things that are still difficult for me after my surgeries this summer but also if I need to stay overnight in the city then I can do that with more confidence, Life is Great, more about getting help once it actually arrives, until she is in the gate it hasn't happened. Hope you find you paradise whereever it may be.

Got More Snow

Well when we got up this morning there was about 8-10" of fresh powder on top of what we got the night before. We already have more snow this year than we had all last year, and if this keeps up it could be a great year for snow here in the beautiful Cascades. It just means you take a little longer to get things done.Here is the latest webcam picture. It's stopped for now but it sure looks like it's not over yet. The kids are having a great time playing in the snow, they like to stay on the areas that have been packed or driven on as it's easier for them to get around. Myself I'm just going to enjoy it sit back read a book, go play with the kids and get ready for therapy tomorrow. Namaste
