We could build them on line if you want. Maybe folks here would be
interested to watch.... I could go do it at the builders group, but
this will just be a knockdown slap up build... got a digital camera?

It turned cold last week, which kept down a lot of the outdoor activities.
8" of snow at Donner Pass in the sierras. Trying to get out tomorrow for
some shad fishing in Sacramento.

That's good news! It makes my plan to move to the Wake Forest area more
tenable. (Sure hope I used that word properly!)

We didn't go out at all this weekend.
1. wifes health
2. constant threat of rain. (which it did)
3. monster fuel prices
4. involved with Memorial Day services at church and at three
cemeteries.

July 4?

Maybe
