So we moved in 11 days ago. Things are going well. Almost all the boxes are gone. Seems like a waste. I'm so glad we didn't purchase any boxes. We got over 100 boxes from a shoe store (not shoe boxes, but boxes that carry shoe boxes, lol). So I didn't want to be wasteful.

My garage is coming along.



This is 23' x 15'. Forms done and floor leveled for concrete.

Once this is done I can get all my tools and bikes over.

Got the old oil tank out of the basement. Filled the fill pipes with hydraulic cement to avoid any potential issues.







Built the first section of shelves

Getting closer to building the track. Ticking items of the list.



My buddy working





The sleeve in the floor needs cut off. It's for my mandrel tubing bender and my tire changer.

Progress is being made. I need to have all this done so I can cut trails in winter. I'm working on permission from the neighbors to ride.

Nice! My neighbor & riding friend just did the concrete floor and 50 amp service to his old shed. What a difference all that made. Money well spent.

I feel like I'm doing nothing but building shelves. Getting closer to done. I'll post some pictures. Just amazing how much time this all takes but at least I get to build it how I want.

The boys have been out cutting trails. They have a decent loop set up. They do have a couple spots where the trails cross so we'll move that. But overall they have a decent amount of hours cutting then working it in while riding. I hit some with the GG yesterday. I'll put a gopro on and see what I can do.

Bear got into my garbage. Second time. I'll have to start putting it out in the morning.



And some critter ate the pumpkin.

Default New House - Track needed.

Been very busy here. No permanent track yet. Although we have it mapped out and have been riding a lot. The adjacent lot sold, so the new owner doesn't want us riding it. However I found a spot and have permission to ride 1300 acres. We could actually ride to the property,but it crosses private land so we'll have to load up and drive around it's less than 5 miles away. Here are some logs I picked up this weekend. We'll have a short endurocross type track on the property.







I've been getting some things done that my wife wanted complete.



Some of those things include trimming our small apple orchard.



Building a chicken condo.







And garden/beehive enclosure.
