Looks like we are going to be buying a place that needs a MASSIVE amount of cleanup/work as it has been vacant and occupied by wildlife since 2008. After not finding any Leasing company or Realtor willing to work with us, this is the best option available, a gentleman offered a property with building for $5k but it’s in central Illinois and over 500 miles from my daughter. Tomorrow is looking like it is going to be a long and Wet 600 miles ride to Laconia to start working for RickRack, unfortunately due to confirmation being last minute and a lack of availability on places to stay Anne will not be able to accompany me to NH for this Rally, however she is already very proactive in navigating purchasing the property and we received verbal acceptance of our $10,000 offer. After we attain legal access to inhabit the property then things are going to be very busy between working Rallies.

Party at the Pen East at Shawshank Prison in Mansfield Ohio. Started raining as soon as we parked, ironically the masses sought refuge by filling the cell blocks. Got to see bikes friends have built in person, admire a lot of hand built motorcycles in all varieties and appreciate the work and details put into a million individual parts. Once the rain cleared there was a lot of activity outside including Custom Cars, Vintage Dragsters, The Wall of Death, , , and vendors of all types Except a Coffee Vendor (outrage if you know my Coffee Addiction). Will absolutely plan better for next year to enjoy all 3 days as there was too much to cram into a one day run through. Here are some of the things that caught my eye, think I should’ve taken better/more pictures, show up next year with your own camera.

Getting tour of local hang out spots from a local, nice meeting strangers off the internet and having it go well. Got to see a couple local kids jump the falls, too cold for my scrawny arse.
