The Mayor!!

Diagnosis is better, instead of full rear end seems only the axle was bent so I have to get an axle and ship to Georgia. So better outlook but once done I still have to get it back up here.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah!!! It’s good to be home!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Back shortly...heading home.

[SkyDancer]

We had three boats out - twelve people total. Sat around after cooking on a tarp, crab, butter, beer, and friends. I so dreamed of this.
