    Good evening
    Just got home from visiting FIL, he goes home tomorrow. Hospital was a 2hr plus drive. Had a good 6hr visit.
    Got home and wife wanted to turn heat on.
    No way, I don't care if temp in house is 60 degrees. I will not turn on heat in September.

    Floe Cargo Max made here in Mn. Aluminum frame they got their start in sled trailers and have branched out into a lot of areas. In some ways similar to the Featherlite's made in Iowa yet unique. The wheel bearings are the best in the business. I like good wheel bearings on a trailer LOL. One of those things you learn over time. The bed can use 3 different levels of loading from ramp to full tilt.



    I start out with water as hot as I can get it and ease my feet into it as I can :anonymous:

    In all fairness it was 52 this morning on the thermostat when I went to take a shower and turned the heat on. I hear you though LOL.

    Ran all over today and most people had jackets on. They all mentioned that in 6 months they would be wearing shorts and no jacket and saying how warm it feels. Already thinking this sucks.

    Life. You can deal with it or let it eat you up.

    Just my 2 cents worth but it is worth dealing with it. What her's name or is it What's her name (they pay technical writers for that piddly BS for me) left me with 2 busted kids, one with the top 5% of OCD cases in the US. But he has is now Level 2 support for Apple and I educated him on Apple, Unix and Windows. The other was dying of cancer. Either or is a common cause of divorce. Both together the weak link will break.

    He is hell bent on going to Boston and a couple of weeks ago sent him to Boston by Amtrak once again. Harvard told him that they were an educational institution and could only offer him 60K a year. Before he went there he told them he needed 75K to live in Boston. He was pissed and let them know that an institution which has the income of 4 Third World Counties combined should not be considered an Education Institution for tax purposes or pay purposes and should reconsider what they pay their employees.

    Damn I did something right, Francis Scott Key would be proud.

    We do have our heated discussions of government, taxes and benefits. He is only 31 and needs to go through the life processes yet. Winston Churchill put most of it in sufficient form.

    Involves heart. Logic. And life experience.

    18" -20' Aluminium 6'6" trailer converted to the equivalent of a 4 season Arctic Fox would work for me. Toy hauler. Drop Ramp load. Drop bed on the side no need for the complexity of a slide out. Not that I have been considering such a thing. Temp yes. But it could work out for several months of the year...

    I don't recall the creek name. Just remember Pipestem. We evac'd to a hotel; rode the chairlift up the mountain the next day, then proceeded to Richmond to visit my family. I just realized that was the last time I was in VA, odd feeling.
