The floor refinishers are coming Wednesday, so we've been emptying closets, pulling up carpet and moving furniture. I'll have to disconnect the PC Tuesday PM so I'll be off-line for 4/5 days. We can't move the furniture back in for at least 2 days after they've put the final finish coats on.

Well, time for a camp chickenbuck photo report for labor day weekend 2012. Missy, Scott, Dusty, Eileen and Kenna were at camp by Friday evening. We already had quite a collection of toys in the yard... Then Tom and Jack showed up on Saturday. After Tom and Jack showed up we saw a lot of this: Saturday was also a big work day. We had a crew putting together a new set of bunk beds inside the cabin: Me and Kenna were outside working on soffit and fascia.

Great pictures,Dave.Looks like a fun time was had by all. Did you complete the soffit and fascia?That's a time consuming job.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

A few "stucky" situations that required some help from Scott's winch. A content bystander holding his dad's beer lol!! Another content bystander that threw the chain off his little dirt bike about 30 times on that ride. A goofball on too small of a bike. A trailside repair (chain tightening) [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/album%202/IMG_7017.jpg[/img]

With the little man's chain fixed he was ready to give rides again. Yesterday we got back after the soffit and fascia. And with the help of my amigos, we got it finished. Pretty good weekend. It was great to see everybody, a big thanks from me, Pam and the kids for all the great company that traveled up to see us.

Nice pictures ND, very nice. A good mix of work and fun.
And just like that it is fall! Lauren and I went goose hunting for the first time and even though the geese hadnt been using our field, we got one flock to kinda come in and I shot the first goose of the season. The ice is broken boys, let the good times commence!

A content bystander holding his dad's beer lol!! This is one of those moments that we don't tell mom about at the deer camp.

My favorite part was when he told me it was more fun than Disney World.

Thanks Dave & Pam we had a great time! Scott really understands why I love it up there, he had a blast. We took our wheelers to the carwash when we got home. Mine didn't need it so much, but his was a different story. Those are really great pictures. Can't wait to get back up there again.
I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

It took me about an hour tonight after work to get it cleaned and I could probably do it again to have it look nice. That muck was weird.
I love it there too and I'm always grateful when I get to come up. I plan on heading back up again before deer season starts. I'll try to remember to dump the pics I have from the work on the shooting lanes. Nate earned his keep for sure!

I threw mine in for the gun hunt time period. Fingers crossed on that one.
I have to get my doe permit in. Is the cabin in 101?

Good deal. Do we just buy tags like in the past? I'll have to look.
