Good info lets get started. Oh forgot it's 19 degrees outside.

I think my best bet for a large shed is to remodel the old tool shed already there. A new floor,new roof,and some new siding should make it good as new. Just need to cut out a 4 ft barn door.It's been there for 100 years but built out of 1 inch oak rough cut still got some life left.I was going to relocate it to the back yard for a lawn mower,atv, and chainsaw shed but a change of plans and less work.

I'm going down to the camp and take some measurements. I got a spot picked out just not sure what size shed will work there. Anybody got any poor boy shed plans? Might only get a Red roof inn.

Front end feels a little light on the baron at 125. Should I add more air to the rear suspension??
-
8x12 shed is not a bad idea. It's small enough I could build it on skids and move it to another spot later.

No it went real smooth. I fired up the chainsaw and zip zip zip I was done. Then she came home. I think maybe she can help plan this one.Like I said it's a camp someday just doze it over and start building .

After that humiliating weekend 73 degrees Saturday with scoots everywhere. I have an idea. I been thinking about putting down a new sub floor in the old house kitchen probably a heavy 3/4 plywood.I got a wheel chair ramp to the side kitchen door see photo below.I use it for first gen maintenance at the camp works nice just ride up on it and drop the center stand.After loosing my A## in my retirement plan it looks like building a new house at the camp is way down the road. So I thought I would widen the front door enough to move the 84 in. Just think ride any time weather permits and don't have to worry about the creek. The 84 would be under lock and key. Hey it's a camp not a house. I just need to rearrange a few things to make room.Short ride to Skid's garage if I need to do some work.I just got one minor problem that might require your help. I got to talk MamaMo into it. Small problem right??? :think: The last time I used the chainsaw to widen the side door on the barn she never forgot it. Hey I only added 4 feet.

They say when you get old and things no longer work right. Just pop you one of those little blue pills. Make you feel 30 years younger. Wardens happy,first gen gets rider back, and life is good again.:banana:

Still running Kenda's on all three. Still like new. I might have 6-8 thousand on the 89. Don't get out much and hard to ride three at a time.Those kenda's are great tire for the money. About the same price as a D404. -

We stopped by the new DQ at the 99 exit I-79. Very nice day 73 degrees with scooters everywhere.Mine is still in the shed behind high water. We have had so much rain this week my yard requires 4x4. I told MamaMo we should just sell the place build a new house and garage at the camp. Just think no more nice days and no ride. Today I think she would have done it.Someday it will come together.:fingers-crossed-emo until then it's:mytruck1: At least she bought me Ice cream still no fun waving at Harleys going by.

I signed a two year contract on her new cell phone. That means I don't have to buy her anything for two years right? Right? :think:

My daughters first car was a ford taurus. I got a good deal on it and it ran good very dependable. The ex-son-in-law put two gallon of antifreeze in storage in the trunk instead of the radiator where it belonged. On the first -20 below night he drove it 10 mile next morning before blowing the motor. I got pi**ed and gave it to the driver of the tow truck for the tow bill.I ripped the stereo out and gave him the title.Ex-son-n-law cost me plenty Oh sorry it's Christmas I better be good.

If I could get scoot across the creek I know where I would go.MamaMo is working today so nothing to eat here.
