    check it out.


    So my weekend consisted of 800 miles driving. Great first time to Windrock MTB, Windrock is a place where brakes do not do too much. Super leg workout doing body weight squats all day.

    Took i40 from Knoxville to Asheville, very beautiful route.

    Kanuga was fun, but very very slick. Also it would’ve been nice to get there early. Only got 3 laps in before it became a snow storm.



    8’x4’ fully welded tabled. Was a PITA to unload. It weighs about 1800lbs.

    I took it conservative through there pulling a trailer. The only close call was a stupid Tacoma owner who cut me off I guess to show me his Tacoma IDK. We were literally all alone on the interstate when he did it.

    Nothing yet, man I've been busy lately. I'm still sanding the studs on the building, furring it out then putting walls up.
    I'll have to contact an electrician to get 200 amp power ran to the building.

    He was going way faster than me and just got over, like maybe I was in his blind spot idk, how the hell can you forget that quickly you passed a truck. No one was behind him trying to get around either.

    I would like to do that on my truck. But I also wish it made sense to SAS it, just too many computers and safety equipment to correct.

    So far I've only got like $13,000 in the shop. I can look it up later. I started that LLC because of all these business start up expenses.

    i camped at the top of the blue ridge parkway at the end of November in the rain. Literally the biggest camping mistake I have ever made.

    absolutely beautiful, but freezing cold, raining, and high winds did not make for good sleeping

    I bought used. It’s my first watercraft ever owned. So didn’t want to go new or larger (boat) till I know we will be using it a good bit. I got the wake pro 215. Should be great to drag the kids around the lake on some day trips.

    It will be fun for sure! I just like those supercharged ones. They are insane how fast they get to 70. Feels like your going 100 plus on water.

    Yeah never camp up at the top. Always drop down some elevation and in more protected areas. It can get mighty cold up there that's for sure. This is why I have lots invested in lots of different camping gear and time invested in knowing how to camp to stay warm. Rain and wind always add some misery to camping no matter what that's for sure. I don't know about the wind with a RTT I can imagine it's that much worse being up high.
