    A little of this and a little of that.
    The direct approach.

    I saw your post a while back with the same pattern Corelle dinner plates.
    M-I-L retired from Corning Glass Works and our kitchen is loaded with Corelle products.

    I respectfully disagree. Ketchup is NOT permitted on my hot dogs.

    Just got home. :pout:
    Left camp around 11, went into town to run a couple errands and stop by the RV dealer there who is actually the nearest Wolf Creek dealer. Asked them some questions and they were helpful. Fridge went crazy last night and doesn't seem to like running on LPG. It's a 2 way fridge will either run on electricity (AC not DC) or on LPG. Or theres an auto setting where it decides what it wants to do each time it fires up. At home on electic its fine. Get to camp and tell it to run on LPG only, nope. Auto, OK.
    Started raining like hell while I'm at the dealer.
    Left town and headed up into the hills. Outside temp drops from 55 to 45 as I climb. Get to the campground after 12 miles of dirt and find out that they are charging even though the website said they weren't. Not gonna pay $15 to freeze my ass off. Back down the hills. On the interstate next storm rolls through. Monsoon rain for an hour. Back off into the hills, pass two trailers coming out. Not a good sign. Crested a hill and saw fresh snow on the trees. Nope. Did a U turn and headed back out.
    Stopped in the next town for gas. Nearly froze as I was in a t shirt and shorts. Ran into the camper and threw on some sweats. Back on the road and home, in the rain the whole way.
    Good news is I had a tailwind and got 12.5mpg for the trip, best yet. Bad news is its pretty much a wasted weekend. Should have just stayed home.

    Sounds like an adventure. I'm sure you still had a better time than sitting at home.

    I'm not a huge cabover fan just because of they way change the vehicle they're on. Besides being top heavy they also work like a huge sail in the wind. I'd have to agree with the truck on this one.

    Morning
    Raining which is really needed.
    Broke the heat so it’s like 60 now.
    So no fishing but I have plenty of things to do today.
    Found some closer hardware and handles for the cabinets.
    If by chance I got those done today I would be able to start putting things away
    And have a garage again instead of a wood working shop.
    Way to dusty right now...
