Hey DS ! How ya doin man ??? Life has been full of twist since I got back from Panama . I been too Idaho twice and California twice since returning . I had some snow damage at the ranch and had to make a flying trip up there to make emergency repairs . Then I was back here taking care of Pop and turned and headed back to the ranch ,but 36 hours later had to turn around and make a flying trip back down to Calif because Pop was in the hospital . I been here ever since trying to get him in Assisted living . The Panama film is still in the camera undeveloped . I'm now trying to make a 3 day trip back to the ranch in Idaho to take care of more details ,but who knows !!!!!!!! I may not even see the ranch again this year !!!!! Hang on I'll see what I have real quick to post .
Ok here you go . This is from our 2008 trip earlier this year .

In no certain order: A picture of me , of my caretaker and kids with fish we caught, Some of the local school children we send to school in our charity , Of Panama City , Sunset on the property and the house .

That little guy is Genaro ! And the two children are his Son and Daughter . I just love that guy like a son :wub:. He works for me full time and runs my boat . He is a boat capt and knows the waters down there around my island very well . When ever we go down , just have Genaro take care of all the boat driving . Otherwise he is working on the property helping to maintain the grounds .
Remember about the "Vaction Contest" we are running on sister site FF. Winner will be staying at the cabin about 100 feet from where I took the fish pictures . You can't win if you don't post !!
