   In the spring of the same year that we hit the pig roast and chicken crispin we visited Loggah in NH and that is also worthy of adding to your list, he has some really neat stuff! My wife would like to go back to Loggah's place just to gather river rocks.

  Right now we got single digit temps in PA so I doubt it's much warmer in NH, maybe July or August that river would look inviting!

When I was about 13 or 14 years old, I had a teacher that gave us an assignment. We were to list 5 people we would like to meet and talk to. My list was, 1, Fred Bear, he was and still is one of my heroes, 2. Vernon Law, he was a pitcher for the Pgh Pirates at the time, 3. John Wayne, 4. Chuck Yeager and 5. Johnny Weismiller of Tarzan fame.

I began writing to them and explained my list. Within three years I had the opportunity to meet and talk, briefly to every one of them.

I maintained a pen-pal relationship with Fred Bear until his death.

Writing down goals or dreams has a way of focusing us on them. When my Mother passed away aobut 12 years ago, I had to go through some of her personal papers and found my original list. I still have it. I am now 66 and bucket lists take on a whole new meaning the older we get.

I remembered one more thing, there's a guy with a junk yard about 25 miles from me that pretty well buys up about any old farm iron on every sale around here, yet I still have to go to his place for parts to fix up my old junk.  I vowed once, my life won't be complete until I have something he really, really wants.  I've been to sales and never bid against him once then turned around and asked "how much for just that part?" it's usually at least 3/4 of what he paid for the whole machine  :(.
