Thank you for the offer. It's very generous of you! I like camping alone but I'd rather do it with friends! :)

It is looking as if I am going to be in Green Bay and Door County during those days. Then a couple days later I will be in Indiana for the Brick Yard 400!! :D (NASCAR Race)

I wish I could be at both. :(

Ok Tim,

You can take the question mark off my name. I'll be there most likely Fri. night or Sat. morning.
Now where can I find some pretty pink TP to wrap up that trailer of yours. The 5 foot wide trailers look pretty in pink. Count me in on the potluck on Sunday.

Great that you can come! So how late are you going to stay? Are you staying until Tuesday like the rest of us normal people? Do you have a camp site reserved or are you just going to get one when you get there?

BTW, I talked to the toilet paper manufacturers and they told me that they no longer made pink TP. The dye is too hard on my eyes.....errr....I mean on the environment. Yea! At least they don't make any institutional rolls in pink. If you do find pink TP, I hope it costs a LOT of money! :lol:

Dianne, have you been down to any other races this spring? If not, I would plan on getting in early. It becomes a mess over there as they reconstruct the entire west side Interstate. I hope this helps.

The Deepest spot in Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes is 1,333 feet or about 222 fathoms. This profound depth could easily contain the entire 1,250' Empire State Building, even with a 50-foot-tall King Kong perched atop.

Yeah thanks, I will show this to the driver. We drive down on Wednesday morning (2-3AM) so we don't hit Chicago traffic and then we stay until Monday morning. But yeah, thanks, I'll show it to the driver.

Well I made some more progress on my trailer this weekend. I only have 2 more weekends to finish it. It looks like I might be in my tent again on the 20th of July. :(

A tent is unacceptable Tim. It is too early too surrender :surrender: Get the hatch on and the doors to lock and hitch it up. :vroom:

I just put a shelf in my galley. They are never done or didn't they tell you at the meeting that a tear drop is a :hammer: project that will last the rest of your life ;)

Jim,

I was supposed to get my fenders powdercoated this weekend at a friends house. He never called so they aren't done. I need the fenders done because my lights mount on them. If I don't have fenders I don't have brake lights or turn signals. I have no idea when I will get these done.

I got the hatch built and sealed this weekend. I also got the cabinet doors built, stained, varnished, and installed. The entry doors need one more coat of varnish and I will be able to install them. The trim is cut and ready to be stained and varnished. I fitted the tongue box and drilled the hole for the electrical conduit. I can't install this until the trim is all installed. Then I can install and wire the battery. I've got so much to do and only 2 weekends to do it. If I had more hair I'd be pulling it out. :?

Sorry. Ignore my rantings. I'm just getting frustrated. I've got so much to do and so little time to do it. Thanks for the support everyone!

Just wire some temporary lights and bring it all with you. :designing: We can help you get it done...I ,mean, it's not like everyone going is a novice or anything...we have all done this before. :lol:

Of course, the phrase "Too many cooks spoil the broth" does come to mind... :thinking: :lol:
