Hey did you know that most pony express riders were orphans as the loss of such a rider would have no impact on the family as there was non. left?

I got to get the front wall done but everything is up there. Will do it next year. Might find a nice day or two to do the doors. Still also want to put a LE Argon glass fixed window in on the foot of the bed side to see out. Bet it would be nice to see out. Snow and all. The Argn would help insulate the glass warm.

Russ...Glad you got some of it done. I am going to put indoor outdoor carpet or cheep camping foam mats on my tear walls for the winter. I might just staple it up for now and do a more permanent job in the spring. I to was going to do some insulating before winter and never got around to it.

You should have seen the stuff I had in this trailer. Got rid of a lot though. I was amazed at the stuff. :lol: The front has things on the wall and would take 1/2 day just to remove the front wall. It was only suppose to be a camper but now is my home.

Thanks

I will know by Wednesday as that is when I should change tanks. This col snap is playing havoc on the run cycle though. I will still have it on tonight but at 40 degrees. Always under the blankets anyway. I am thinking of just changing tonight as cold as it is. I'll take my chances. I don't have an auto switch over. I mean I have to get up anyway to shhut the gen off anyway Should I change I don't know. :thinking: :thumbdown: My answer. see Thumbs down.

Thanks. I figure if I made it last year then this year will be all right. I actually have two AC's waiting to be used for this coming summer. Just thinking ahead. :thinking:

Little bit warmer tonight. 26 the low. CVS pharmacy had an ad on the Blue Flame rack outside $16.99 with exchange. I went in and they tried to charge me $21.00. I said the sign drew me in and that is false advertisement. ad expired on the 31. They gave me it for the advertised price. :) Now I have five filled tanks. :)
