Here is the inside of the Fort.Its a must see if you go to the falls:D There are even soldiers dressed up as British and French soldiers and one of the soldiers I talked too had a part in the Patroit:D

Great pictures!

I just got my honeymoon flashback of 12 years ago! :D I agree with Premier, you are nothing like how I picture you. I picture you as this puny little college kid. Oh, in the beginning, I thought you were a girl (I new a girl name Vert) until you started talking about your gf. :D

same here. I would have never guessed that you looked like that. :) i never bothered to check to see how old you were. that so i assumed you were a college kid, thats what suprised me the most.

You know what threw me off? You always have ":D " at the end of your post. It gives me the perception that you were always smiling happy little college kid. It didn't go with the goatee picture above. But its all good. You look good as well as your girlfriend. :)

We stayed in Fredonia the first night and then headed to Niagara the next morning,we just missed a dumping of snow by 2 days.We went to the stadium it was awesome.I had no idea buffalo was so run down on I-90.We are going to thousand islands in may.Have you ever been there?I think its about two hours north of Niagara

hhomer59
01-02-2004, 01:01 PM
sorry,

but it i like 5 hours from buffalo to the 1000 islands.
I-90 east to 81 north past Watertown. about 5 hrs.

buffalo is run down, lost tons for factory jobs. so when we all buy stuff, cars, we should try to buy

MADE IN THE USA..... cause we all need to work and keep our $$ in our country.

Have you been to thousand islands?

hhomer59
01-02-2004, 01:17 PM
yes,

lots to do up there. may is a good time of year to visit. stay in Alexandreia Bay. There is the most to see and due there. bring your fishing poles and swim trunks.

i golf up there when i visit too. there is Bolt castle, this huge island castle that is half finished because the owners wife died and he was building it for her so he left it sit. was looted for years and is now a state park u can take a boat out to visit.

so plan for a good time.

Those were some great pics bro and I am glad you had a great time and you have a pretty gal friend that I know you will hang onto for a long time. Did you get my Christmas card in the mail? Yep, that is a good pic of you looking bad as hell . You have that don't mess with me look as I do as well when I take pics. You took some great pics and did you ever sell the white limited Explorer yet? That was one great truck as of the pics I saw on Ebay. Take care and talk to you soon buddy. Happy New Year and Go Pack on Sunday and that last Denver/Pack game was awesome and of course the Arizona game that helped us was just amazing.:D

The Pack is playing much better the second quarter then they were the first. They are kicking some tail buddy and I hope they continue to kick butt in the second half as well. Nothing could be better it is finally snowing here in Milwaukee and the Pack is winning. They said 4 to 8 inch's but for the last 5 years I have only used my 4x4 5 times that is once a year. It really sucks when you can't have fun in the snow. Most guys on the board would say then head for the mudd. My truck went thru the mudd a few times but Now, I am going for the street look and I am keeping the truck on the street not the trails but when it was on the trails it was really fun but not fun to clean up after the fun was over.

88vert

Yeah the pack is playing good ball,i hope they can keep it up in the second half.The snow started last night here and it has not stopped we have about 6 inches so far:D

You are so lucky to have snow and I sure hope we get 8 to 10 inch's it should be a fun time going thru huge snow drifts and going places where most cars cant.:D Go Pack Go:bounce: :D :chug: :thumbsup:
