Daedong's (Vin) trek across the US

Snowcat Operations said:
First of all why would you listen to a guy who is flipping him self off? Second, the proper way to wear anOblahma tie is to first tie a vey strong double windser. Thentighten it firmly around your neck just slightly off to the right shoulder. Now tie the other end onto a very stout branch 7 feet off the ground. All this while on a ladder. Now have the very beautiful Mrs Vin kick out the ladder. Now your an Official Obahma supporter!

Leave Vic alone man :glare:
 
Stayed in DC 2 days, now I know where all your tax payers money goes:mrgreen:
Great metro system, took us to the Pentagon, White House, Union Station, the Capitol and everywhere in between. We saw the new memorial at the Pentagon, it is well done.
We are now on camped on the coast at Cape Henlopen, Delaware, I can finally say Mary and I have swum in the Atlantic Ocean.

Good pics Vin. Glad you made it to the Atlantic and got to swim in it like you wanted. :thumb:
What's next? Are you going to NYNY or Atlantic city for a bit of gambling?
 
Vin, after leaving the FF meetup we were working at one of our sites when we stumbled across an orange in our truck. Pretty sure I picked it up at one of the hotels breakfast. Is that brand from a tree near you? The quality wasn't as good as our Florida or even our California oranges, so we're mailing it back to AusUK.


note the way SnoOps elected to display the orange :rolleyes:

Didn't make it to the Smithsonian? That's a weeks worth all by itself. I guess you are winding down now and planning your trip back to the west coast.

Did you get my message about getting the Kelly Pool set? Very nice! That's also called Pea Pool in the US. Of course, pea pool has US rules instead of those weird Aussie ones.:mrgreen:

Guess what Kathy and I have been up to since you were here. We have the metal and will be sheeting the lean-to this week. Then, we'll fill it full of useless junk we should really get rid of.

Boy do I know that feeling. :yum:

Good pics. Nice UTV you have there. :thumb:

I do believe Vin and Mary should be on the west coast now. I told them to be sure to check out Venice Beach while they are in LA. It's one crazy place for sure but I think it's worth visiting the Venice boardwalk. :D
 
Sushi, the Atlantic was not too cold, several people swimming there, not like Lake Erie or Lake Tahoe!

Bob, of course the orange was crap, you don't think we send anything good to the US do you! BTW looks like Mike needs a plastic surgeon to fix those fingers of his.

Jim, not sure if it was Aussie rules we were playing, they were my rules. (Didn't you notice I won a lot).
We spent time in the Smithsonian Indian museum and the Museum of Natural History as well as the Castle, unfortunately the one I would have really liked to see, the museum of American History, was closed for renovations.

We are now safely back in San Diego.

Gee, timber must be cheap, have not seen timber used like that in 20 years. Looks good, you will need to buy more toys now to fill it.
 
Vin, good to hear you and Mary made it back across the states safely and that you had a good time in DC. Hope these last few days go as well as the rest has.

Vin, what I noticed mostly was your getting beat that one game by Mary. . . that and the number of times I choked on the winning shot.:censored: It's my table, so doesn't that mean I'm supposed to always win?:wink:

Before you go back to Australia, perhaps you should stop in at a Lowes or Home Depot and check out lumber prices. I bought enough lumber to frame my lean-to, put purlins over the container for a shade roof, and frame up 4' deep shelves for material on the other side. The total cost was $350. It was when I went to buy the metal that my wallet took a $1400 hit. Ouch!

Here's hoping you have a safe trip home. We'll be coming to visit one day.

Went there today Doc, it was pretty tame I thought, only saw one or two out of the ordinary characters.
I did buy a Ohio number plate (bicentennial) to hang in my games room at home.

We fly out tomorrow night.
 
^^^ Should have went after dark!
I saw the devil there once. Had implanted horns, tattoo'ed flames, red speedos.
Beautiful people...........

You were on a long trip. Your ready to go home aren't you? Many years ago when my company was doing good my wife and I went on many trips a year and it was always good to get home. Hope you enjoyed your stay here in the States. :thumb:
 
Vin and Mary:
I didn't post much to this thread because I had nothing to add. However, I read it each day and enjoyed the pictures you took with other FF members. I hope your stay in the U.S. was a good 'un. Safe travels home. I'm glad we got to host you for this time.
Y'awl come back now, Y'hear??!
 
Wow, looks like you had a great trip. Too bad the weather turned chilly here on the east coast the week you arrived.
 
Well, Mary and I are home, after about 18 hrs flying then drove another 1-1/2 home. We are absolutely stuffed. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality. more pics to come later in the week.

Good for you, Vin. I'm glad your trip was safe. Now you and Mary can get back to normal.
 
We were wondering when you'd get home. Glad you made it safe and sound. I'm sure it's GREAT to get home after being gone for so long.
I look forward to seeing your vacation pics. :D
