Hay YouzGuyz , is that the same crossing you led us through the first year we made the pilgrimage to the HILL COUNTRY ? Huh

If you remember , I was the last one across even back then ... now that I've grown OLD and CAUTIOUS , that really looks scary ! Tongue

Dave , the page had turned over , so I just now saw where the scary picture came from ! ... I hope it runs down before we get there , so your go-pro don't get scared too !

I'm not sure even a Himalayan could cross that High Water ?

Well ,

I got good news and bad news today !

The good news is :
Anders (my son) got approved for his "Skills-Bridge" thing today !

That means he could be coming home in April this year instead of Oct. Hopefully durning the first part of the month , so he can get settled in with training for a new job and all before its TEXAS TIME .

The bad news is that :
Marcia won't go anywhere for the first 6 month her baby is home after being gone for 3 years.

So ,

I might have to leave Anders to look after his mom till I get back ? He's been home for visits twice in the last year , and calls home at least a couple time a week. That first visit after a year in South Korea was a month long visit . Wink

It could be May before the Skills Bridge thing starts ??? I'll know more in a week or two ? Huh

OK. That was probably Middle Creek Road.
Steep down hill paved, then gravel, then a right turn, go into the creek and go downstream for 20ft or so, then back out and uphill gravel, then back paved.
I'll take Thumper through there and get a video.

I don't know if I would try that with the Rocket. It's making that turn in the creek bed that is "iffy".

Looking at it now , I feel a little silly for being reluctant to cross it . It seem like there might have been more water at the time maybe ? It looks like a fun ride now !

Are you getting any practice with the new GPS?

"O-Yea" , It's an Android System , so it's not the same as a Garmin and involves a learning curve ya might say ! Huh

I've only got two places in "Favorites" , but don't have the saving into Favorites quite figured out yet ... so far its been "push buttons till it works ??? Tongue

Maybe by spring I'll have it figured out Undecided

............................................................................

These Cold "Heart of Winter Days" put Marcia in the mood for a new kitchen counter top and tile walls above it .
And we had an old Squair 1960 type hot water heater in a corner under our old kitchen counter.
So
You know I hate to pay people to do things that I can do. That would cut into my Motorcycle money.
We got a "Lazy Susan" corner to replace it.
But You know I hate to pay people to do things that I can do
Well , that has involved "re-spacing" the under counter cabinets. Nothing fits anymore.
As of now the new Granit Rock counter person is coming to measure tomorrow.
The old kitchen sink is out and the old counter top is on the car port.
My Kitchen don't work and won't work for at least the next two weeks .

Its to cold to ride much anyway ! Roll Eyes

Springman I'll follow you BACK to the cabin ...

I did successfully save a place into the "Favorite" section of the bike GPS today. I'll practice on another few places before Texas time. Once into the Favorite section all is easy.

I don't think Marcia is joining us this year ? She thinks both of us should not take off for Texas only a month after our son get home to start the "Skills Bridge" thing - where he gets out early to train for a civilian job. He will be home almost a month before Texas time. Son is a very capable young man and mom is a very attentive mom. Not to say I don't worry about him but ... he is a jet mechanic in the USAF and has spent a full tour of duty in South Korea !

So who all is in the cabin now ?
If I need to then I can bring a cot (but not the same one I did the first year we got the cabin)I fell out of that thing at least twice a night !
