NWI INGO General Post - Part 7

[danmdevries]

Trekked out back to feed/ water the chickens, and throw the frozen eggs out in the woods. Motorcycles are out in the shed for the winter, had to move one slightly to make room. I can't wait for the freeze to break.

Next 40 degree day if the roads are dry, I'm taking my bike out. Used to ride year round as long as temps were above freezing, but I really don't want to get saltwater on my 40 year old bike that i spent a lot of time and money restoring. Maybe I need to buy another beater bike.

Weather is suppose to be in the 40's this weekend with rain and snow. Don't think you will see dry roads for a while.

 

[chef larry]

No. I had to drive from Gary to Cedar Lake to pick it up, and just didn't have what it took to drive back to Valpo. Maybe later this week. Is anyone else free Friday morning?

Sadclownwp will be waiting to sell you the next firearm on your list.

Maybe you've said before, but what's the restored bike? Btw, long shot, since your name is fairly common, but you happen to graduate LC in 88'

Kev, you're thread is still going strong.

Morning peeps.

I'm heading back up to NWI today. Stopped in Mt Sterling, KY for the night. Drove 13 hours yesterday and was not awake enough to try to drive the last 7 hours home from here.

Gonna have my breakfast and some coffee and head home. Hopefully I-65 will be clear by the time I make it up to INDY. It was miserable as far south as Greenwood when I was driving down to North Carolina. The Indiana Po-Po website shows that the road is "Fair" most of the way from INDY up to NWI but the area around Lafayette is still showing "Difficult" road conditions. I figure there is no hurry for me to hit the road. Maybe an extra cup of coffee while I'm down here will give the plows in the Lafayette area a bit more time to get some ice off the road.

But one thing is for sure, having a 6400 pound 4x4 is a good thing when the roads suck. Then again, nearly 2000 miles at 17mpg equals a big fuel bill.

Take care, MD.

Construction or Street?

Last night was perfect for the hottub....zero wind in our back yard.....bad part was my feet sticking to the deck on the walk back indoors!!

Who wants to learn to shoot IDPA with me? I've never shot it but I need to shoot SOMETHING.

I drove to Indy and back yesterday. I-65 was good on the return trip.
The temp came up enough for the salt to work.

I know Michigan City rifle club does IDPA on Wednesday nights and I think NPCCC does it on the weekend. IDPA is a good place for beginners to start out because of relatively low equipment cost, and it's probably the least physically demanding of the "action shooting sports.
If anybody else is interested, post up, let's do this.

How are you dealing with the peace and quiet on the home front?

 

[geronimojoe85]

Sitting on the couch I'm my underwear eating a cheese stick playing on INGO.

 

[chef larry]

So life is great.

I am officially back to work after six long months. The one thing that sucks now is I'm on the extra board so here I sit at home waiting for a phone to ring so I can head to work. Known my luck the probably call at 10 o'clock tonight right when I'm getting ready to go to bed.

 

[geronimojoe85]

Other than the fact that I'm not working, yeah.
I fixed an outlet this morning and didn't have her hovering over me like the NSA.

Nap time for sure.
