   My sled!

   I looked all over for my sled last week during the snow storm.  Think you're about done with it?

   old.........

   We bought this property over 30 yrs ago-all woods, lotta brush.   Discarded Christmas trees from the neighbors, some rolls of fence, old brick and stone probably from the 1865 house up by the street..........ancient bottles, cans and other debris.................

   and this sled.

   It still looked like a sled till Pete Draganics kids took it for a ride at the Fest we hosted in the summer of '05.

   But no matter the disrepair-I'm sure there's years of memories in what's left.

   I will take a look for yours tho-but if it doesn't turn up this year, think of all the joy it'll bring down the road!

   Man, you brought back some sledding memories.................do the cafeteria trays from the college dorm count?

   Merry Christmas!

   Thanks and the same to you and the family!

   imagine the number of butts that thing has seen.  Probably way more than an ashtray at an AA meeting.

   Thanks to you for putting forth the effort here.  Much appreciated.

   Everything in moderation, there's trouble in the extreme-anything in excess is probably bad news.

   Don't know about the moderator part tho-

   Dan Morrison stuck that mallet up there b/4 he flew the coop.  Gave me a delete button and told me not to push anything else.  Beats me.

   Pleasure to make your acqaintance, hope we meet up some day!

   Thanks Ron

   Hope your 1st Christmas in your new place is Merry-and down to Carlinville as well.  Mention I wish them good cheer as well!

   Another good job Santa-you really like doing that, don't you?

   thanks!
