So we decided this morning that it would be a good idea if we went to Holland for the weekend. Well, Holland has many great boat launches so we hooked the boat up to the truck, got packed, and headed out. Just South of Boyne Falls I decided that possibly I should have looked at the tires prior to leaving. My guess is the tires are about 17 years old. Ouch. So I called my dad up and he informed me that the tires were in fact old, but also that the bearings have not been greased since we bought the boat. I believe that was in 1999 or 2000. (It was purchased used...but rarely used by the original owner.) We turned around and came home. I decided on the way home that we would unpack the truck, throw everything in the car, and head to Holland without the boat. We got to Alanson, filled the car with gas, and I just did not have any more drive in me. We turned around and went home.
When I got home I had every intention of just hanging low and enjoying my long weekend. What did the wife make me do? Pack down our pool table and put it in the garage. Then I had to shampoo the carpets, clean this, clean that, and move furniture. I know it needed to be done, but why today? Ahh well. It was worth while. I only got pissed once while I was moving the pool table to the garage.
I am going to ditch the shelter this evening I believe and just lay back. All my household chores are done and I just need to relax. Tomorrow is going to be an afternoon filled with disc golf and HEAT. I should have thought about that before I said yes to going. I started to make my own course through the woods behind the house a few weeks ago. I have not got a whole lot of definition built into the course yet but you can sort of see where the tees, fairways, and greens are. Right now I am using trees or stumps as the holes.
Anyway, an evening boat ride might be in the works, so I am going to get rolling. I will try to update tomorrow. :)
Goodnight from Northern Michigan!

More shelter work...
I spent HOURS on the shelter today. All of the walls are up, all supports are in place, and I am ready to start covering the outside! I still have not decided whether or not I should put plastic on the inside to keep the wind and wet out. I think if I put the plastic on the inside and then covered the outside in branches...it would still look good, right? I really do not know why I never tried this before...aside from our attempt last fall. It is not difficult and it does not take much time. The best part...is it is CHEAP! I have a total of around three dollars invested in the entire outfit.
A friend just got me to sign up for Twitter. I do not really understand the purposes of it yet...but I will figure it out. So to the left you can now see "My Twitter" which will show you my last two messages. I think if I had cell service at the house...and unlimited text messaging I would make better use of it. It would be handy in the woods if we had cell signal here!
We missed another O-zone karaoke night tonight...possibly we will go next week. I am still trying to recover from vacation!
Anyway...that is it for tonight. Pictures of the shelter progress have been uploaded to my picasa.
Goodnight from Northern Michigan!

Shelter...
I worked on the shelter a bit more this evening. I uploaded pictures to my picasa.
http://picasaweb.google.com/dallerding
I have most of the frame done...I just need to add a bit more support and then put the walls and door up. Then it should be ready for winter! We will see I guess!
It is getting late...so I am off.
Goodnight from Northern Michigan!

We are home...
We finally made it back! We arrived yesterday afternoon...after driving through a ridiculous storm in Gaylord. The same storm produced about one inch of rain at the house. Not bad for a quick storm! The cat was fine and everything was as we left it. Just the way it should be!
Today I decided to start preparing a winter shelter for my entertainment when the snow starts falling. I have not done a TON to it yet...but I am taking pictures and video while I am putting it together. I will upload those pictures when I get a moment during the week. I believe I am going to start putting videos on youtube...but I have never done that and it may take a bit for me to get an account and upload the videos.
The design is of the shelter is wigwam-ish. However I am going to add a chimney to it and change the door a bit. The door will be framed with saplings and hinged with rope, and the chimney will be open at the top of the shelter. I am going to cover the walls with saplings and possibly staple emergency blankets to the inside. I may substitute the blankets with black plastic on the inside and then cover the outside with pine bows or sticks. Lots to be decided still but I am going to call it "The Onion" shelter since the final product will look like the top half of an onion. Should be a good time when it is done!
Anyway, that is it for tonight...stay tuned for pictures and videos.

Heading home...
Well, we should be heading home bright and early tomorrow. It will be good to get home and see the kitty and start cutting wood. I am not really excited about the drive back but it will be worth it just to get back into the swing of things. I think we will stop by Bluffton to get some fireworks on the way up. I really want to get some of the good stuff again! I ran all of my stock pile out on the 4th...usually I try to keep some on hand but I could not resist this time.
The wife is out getting food for us...she is taking forever! Hopefully soon I will have my DQ Flamethrower chicken sandwich. Yum.
When we get back we should be taking some camping trips. Nothing extremely crazy but a few practice rounds trying to lighten up the loads. I also want to start preparing for a couple winter trips too. I know I need to save some money...but I have to have some fun too! ;)
I heard the food is almost here...time to go. :P
Goodnight from Kentucky!

Kentucky at it's finest...
We made it back to Kentucky! We arrived around 5:30 PM last night and hung out at the wife's parent's house for a bit. Her brother's girlfriend was over so we decided to drive her home to Cumberland. We all piled into the Grand Prix and head out. As we approached the town a cop was sitting on the side of the road...so I gently tapped my brakes to slow down the 3-4 MPH over that I was going to a very precise 55 MPH. Well that cop turned right around (I heard that it was Trooper Young, who works for the Kentucky State Police, from locals.) and got on my ass. Suddenly the lovely blue lights of a KY trooper car flipped on. "You've gotta be kidding me..." was the only thing to exit my mouth. So I hit my brakes and drove onto the side of the road. He hit the gas and flew passed me. So, he drove me off the road so he could pass me. There was not one single car on the opposite side of the road for miles. Ridiculous! That is sad that they do not treat out of staters with a bit more respect...after all...if it were not for us this area would be a pile of crap that would sink into the earth without anyone ever knowing. Well, I for one, will not be visiting Cumberland again. To top it all off, when we arrived in Cumberland, we decided to eat at the local Mexican restaurant. Guess who was there eating with his family? Trooper Young. So he ran me off the road just so he could make it to dinner on time? I can only hope the worst for him. (That sounds mean...but there was no excuse for what he did.)
I have another gripe to mention as well. Across from the wife's parent's house there is a house that uses a straight pipe for their sewage. It runs down into the roadway drainage and into a ditch which runs into a river passing behind her parent's home. Repeated attempts by neighbors to get this resolved (even as high as the state government level) have been rejected. And guess what? The jackass that has the straight pipe is a local cop. The wife believes his last name is Tiegl. So more crooked bull crap government here working to provide for the citizens. Way to go!
So to cap it off....Trooper Young and Officer Tiegl....both people who should be dealt with....but will not be because everything around here is so incredibly crooked. There is no excuse but what can anyone do about it? Absolutely nothing....as usual. All we can hope for is that the locals will band together and try to fight off some of the bull that occurs around here.
That is it for now I guess....I only have complaints because today has been a bit interesting.

Another Monday...
Well, here we are. Another Monday down! This time though, it is not another 9 hours day sitting in my office. Gatlinburg, TN is the place to be tonight! We are sitting in our hotel room getting ready to head out for dinner and I thought I would post something before we go out. I do not have my pictures uploaded to picasa yet but they will possibly be there tomorrow while I still have internet to use.
We went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Museum. It is somewhat impressive though I was really expecting much more for my $14.99 per person. It turns out their building burned down in I believe 1992? They rebuilt by 1995. A good portion of their stuff was lost. In my opinion they need to hurry up and find some more....I was not really impressed. However, we did go Hillbilly golfing! It was a blast! They take you up a the side of a mountain on a "railcar" (as I would call it) and drop you off at the top. You play miniature golf until you're about half way back down the hill and then they send the car back up to get you to bring you down. It was really fun! I do not know if we spoke with the owner, or if he just worked there, but we got a bit of history and info about it. It has been there for 37 years and was the first miniature golf in Gatlinburg. He said it was either build a miniature golf course or cabins. :P
Well, time to head out. Back to KY after today.
Goodnight from TN!

A quiet evening...
It was a great night for having been a typical Monday at work. I got home a bit late because I was working on one of my bigger projects before leaving. When I arrived the wife had some food ready to head out to the soon to be built campfire. I got the fire going and we put on the hotdogs and a couple steaks. Now...that is how a guy should be welcomed when he gets home. A campfire, steaks, and the tri-pod grill getting hot. Perfect! So I figured
I would share a couple pictures of the event since it is exactly what I needed tonight! I think I might start adding pictures back into my blog as the summer rolls to an end.I worked on the knives a bit tonight. I got the second tempered. I am having a hell of a time getting them sharp though. I have tried about everything. I ground down additional metal along the edge and used all of my sharpening implements to get it rolling. I think I just need a file and a guide. That would help more than anything at this point. So my temper probably is not as good as it needs to be...which will be good when I have to re-sharpen it. ;) I am about to give up on these and try again on new steel...the right steel. I got lazy at this point and stopped taking pictures since it really was not a very impressive ordeal.
I was going to play Mario Kart a bit tonight...but it is getting too late. I will post my friend code soon so that anyone can play with me while I am online. That could possible be the only game I ever need for my Wii. :P Too much fun!
Anyway, that is probably enough for tonight. Have a good one!
Goodnight from Northern Michigan!

Snowshoes...
Oh...one more thing before I head to bed. If you have used Pacific Outdoors Subzero snowshoes I would be very interested in some feedback. I have read online that they are a decent novice snowshoe. I have never had a pair and I am looking for a good pair that will last me into some decent use throughout the winter.
Thanks for any feedback!
Goodnight from Northern Michigan! (again)

A Petoskey Sunset...
After a fairly uneventful, but educational Sunday (we watched Hoods Woods videos all day), we made it out of the house and into Petoskey. We drove around for a bit and finally settled down by the bay at the waterfront park. We arrived about half an hour before the sun "went for a swim." It was a very pretty night to watch it. The clouds finally disappeared after a very dreary morning and afternoon.
You would never guess what I forgot when we went into town...my camera. So there are no amazing pictures of the sunset. That was fairly disappointing but life will go on for all of us. :P
Tomorrow is back to work...only five more days until another weekend! I do not only look forward to the weekends. Work has been very productive lately and a lot of my outstanding items are finally wrapping up. However, the weekends provide me with the time away from the office that makes life worth living. So yes, I guess I do only LIVE for the weekends. ;) That is going to be my motto for the next month and a half. LOTS of weekend camping and entertainment. I really want to get out and do some hiking too. Even if it is only for an hour or two! Just getting out into the woods is good enough for me.
Again, I need to finish up my knives before this weekend. It is going to take some dedication through the week but I think I might be able to get it done. I need to find an anvil so that I can pound metal out. So if anyone knows where I can find an anvil...leave me a comment. :)
I think that catches you up on today. Have a great evening!

Rain!
We got a heck of a thunderstorm last night! When I checked what the weather was going to do last night before work ended...there was a slight chance of some rain today. Last night around 3:30 AM we got rocked! Thunder and lightning for the better part of an hour and a half! With it came about half an inch of rain. We needed it!
We really do not have anything planned for the weekend. I had thought about going camping but now that I have seen the udpated forecasts...I think we will be better served by just sitting at home. There is plenty to do around here still to get ready for fall. Lots of wood to cut and things to get put away. I REALLY need to get the garage cleaned out. I worked on that all spring long when I was working on my knives. Unfortunately I lost interest in hanging out in the garage when the temperatures got above 90F in there! Ever since I have spent very little time finishing my project. I do have all the cabinets mounted on the wall now...so that is a huge improvement.
Now, please do not make fun of me, but I am watching Spongebob and it is snowing in Bikini Bottom. I am pretty excited for fall to roll around. I really do enjoy summer...but fall is such a pretty time and it means winter is on its way. Oh! Remember when I mentioned the sunlight in my last post? I heard someone say the exact same thing on the news the other night. So I am not crazy to already be seeing it!
Work...I went to one of our repos in Pellston on Thursday. It was not too bad. It certainly needs some work...but if someone were to be really dedicated to it for a month or two they could probably have a nice place to live! It is basically an empty house. They did leave the counter top, sinks, and toilets, but that is about it. It has a full basement and a large garage. If it were not in Pellston someone might be a bit quicker to pick it up! Yesterday we had a meeting with a rep from one of our vendors. We went to Little Traverse Golf Club. If you have never been there...the food is excellent...but the view is even better! You can see parts of the inland waterway and nearly the entire Little Traverse Bay! It is a very nice place and the food is not too unreasonable. You pay a little more for the atmosphere and view.
That is about all the great stuff that has happened since my last post. I will try to get some more pictures posted today or tomorrow. Keep checking my picasa! http://picasaweb.google.com/dallerding.
Have a good one!

August has arrived...
August is here and fall is just around the corner. The day are getting a bit shorter and the sun is starting to take on that yellow end of summer tint. Some may not have any idea what I am talking about...but to me it seems like the light is just a bit different this time of year. In the past August was always something to dread. It was the last month before school OR while in college the month when school started. Now I look forward to August since the temperatures cool down a bit.
We have a lot of wood cut so far. LOTS more to cut and split but I think we have a great start. The tractor is functioning as it should (thank goodness!) and the wood splitter hose has been fixed with a little creative electric taping. :P It is a belt driven hydraulic wood splitter that relies on the tractor for power. SO it is a very good thing both work...otherwise we would be buying a new splitter. The logs we have cut this year are nearly 18" across and thus far have been impossible to split with a maul. I am starting to get excited about spending my Saturday mornings and afternoons out in the woods cutting wood. It gets me out of the house and helps me relax. If I do not have to buy any propane this year life will be even more relaxing! It does look like the price might have to come down though. Oil prices have been falling quite rapidly.
So I mentioned Emmet County Road Commission the other day. The reason was there was significant washing out of the roads in our area. I emailed them and they were out fixing it a day or two after. You can see the pictures on my picasa album. Right now they are fixing the road around the corner. It was a washboard and driving across it was fairly dangerous...not to mention incredibly hard on cars! The truck has more rattles and squeaks than it ever has before after driving on some of these roads to take pictures.
This is really the most boring time of year for me. Work keeps me too busy to try to go anywhere. I would absolutely love to get out camping soon. I have not been out once since Green Timbers! That is why I have not had much picture taking opportunity. I have been trying to take what I can...but none of them are impressive. A good trip to the UP soon should change that.
I have the four wheeler all ready to go at any time now. The battery is dead but everything has been fixed. The rear brakes work, the air filter has been changed, the oil and oil filter have been changed, and the rope starter has been bolted back on. It has been fairly fun to go through the woods but I am really looking forward to heading out to some real trails. Cheboygan county has a fairly significant ORV park. I want to get over there as long as someone is willing to go with me. There are no trails in Emmet County that you can legally ride on. We have to take the backwoods trails so we do not get caught. You can take any other kind of vehicle on the two tracks but not a four wheeler. Motorcyles, dirt bikes, trucks, and such are all welcome. What is wrong with a four wheeler? If the county new what was good for it...they would open up the two tracks to four wheelers during certain hours of the day. Can you imagine the increased traffic the area would see? Instead of having to drive to Cheboygan county people could come here...and the locals could stay here and ride.
Since I am talking about fall and four wheeling...if anyone locally would like to setup a ride in Cheboygan county just to go out for a few hours and chill...I am game. It is just like my pleas to get anyone to ride sleds with. I am not expecting much in the way of rides...but it would be fun to get to meet some more people who are into the sports. Speaking of snowmobiling! The season is coming up! I took a drive down a few of the trails the other day and it looks like most of them are already in fairly decent shape. I only drove a couple miles of trail 71, but it looks good. For info on local trails...check out http://www.harborspringssnowmobileclub.com. I really need to get my wood cut so that I can help brush if needed. I have not been a member and I have never brushed...but this might be the year!
Anyway, that is my update for now. I will really try to post a bit more often. Once fall and winter come around my updates will be much more frequent.
