    Slick, I was thinking you could drop the rear door with a set of legs and make a porch with an awning wing…
    I’m not much of a toy hauler, but I can see the flexibility.

    Yes! We do that and I have a knock off version of a moon shelter that attaches to the rear and I have sewn Velcro around to attach a screen room to it to keep bugs out. The only toy I haul is my fishcat 9 inflatable pontoon fishing boat. We may get some electric bikes or a Yamaha TW200 fat wheel at some point.

    Funny thing is I caught it while talking to a lady on her dock, she was asking if the fishing was any good. I caught it right under a tree that had blown into the water, she said she wanted to take them out cause they obstructed her view. I held up that hog and said “ probably should leave that tree!”

    Morning folks :pccoffee:

    Bout' to go out here in a little bit and mow the weedsgrass despite it being a little wet. With the heat it's a little straggly and thin, so it shouldn't be too bad.

    Salon had an opening later, so I'm gonna get this mop cut off my head :anonymous:

    Hey, he's particular and does a good job. I'm not the only guy to go to him, but his clients are mostly old ladies :rofl:

    Wash, cut, and style with tip less than $40, not bad.

    I really need to dig though the pictures, but when I was a kid my grandfather on my dads side had a barber shop. He cut hair all the way into his 80's until heart disease got him back a couple years ago. I think cuts were like $7 even into the early 2000's. All the local Mennonites went to him for cuts.

    My wife went and got her hair done a few weeks ago, the 1st time in 15+ years so I couldn't complain. She usually cuts it herself. She cuts the kids and I shave mine myself. We've saved millions from not going to a barber or salon :spending:
