AKwelder Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 sorry all, we made it, just had our early Christmas and dinner with my family in Minnesota, it was a safe trip and i just got back from taking my grandmother home. My sister and her family came down from Minot so mom had all her young grand kids running around the house and that warmed her heart. it was very nice and i am too full. The train ride was much better than driving in rush hour traffic. It took a bout the same time as driving one way, and was cheap. everything was clean and there were only a few examples of poor life choices. 5 am tomorrow we are headed back to the airport (on the mass transit trains) to head south to florida and meet with the wife's family. 1 hour ago, bitty said: Are you all going to wear wheel weights as jewlrey on the plane ride home ? Have a Merry Christmas and safe travels to the lower 48 and back kind of, I have a hydraulic cylinder in a duffel for checked baggage, a Hydraulic power unit from Northern Tool for a dump project, a steering wheel for a 460, and a few slow moving vehicle signs, maybe a trip to the farm & fleet If i could get away with it I sure would, i bought a set of IH wheel weights last summer and need to figure out how to get them home, Merry Christmas all, and have a safe weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKwelder Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Merry Christmas There were shepherds living in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you, he is Christ our lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDairy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well you've traversed nearly 100% of the Continental US now! RUn to the Keys and you'll be set. SO odd looking to see the sun RISE out of the water too me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKwelder Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 more pictures, my boys fishing (at least they got to be hair farmers, dang they need hair cuts) The family coming back from the Everglades How you know your driving in the wrong neighborhood Been looking for a red headed southern bell, but alas no sightings yet. A few orchards, and a lot of pasture with a few hay fields. I really have been surprised at the lack of vegetable fields, like ZERO. I did see the Don Gartlis (SP?) museum sign but we were traveling. We went to the Mote Aquarium in Sarasota, which was great and I would like to recommend to anyone (with or without kids). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
