Has anyone heard from Roly lately?
I have not seen him here on the Forum for a few weeks!
Roly, we miss you man! Hope all is well?

Still no sign of Roly here on the Forum!
Hope this means he is just camping off the grid somewhere or on his way to Canada?? :lol:
Good Luck with whatever you are up to Roly.....we miss you!

Brian, On good authority, I have seen a report of Roly towing north out of Las Vegas towards Canada with three show girls aboard. :shock:

Slow
Speaking of NOT living here on the Forum, you must be referring to everyone else! :thinking:
As with 5300 posts it is no wonder you don't have time to work. :lol:
We love you man! But think before you type. :R

Hello all, sorry for the absence, but life is changing day by day. So here is some surprising news. It is hard to believe that a sweet, wonderful lady could fall in love with an old bald 81 year old like me. These many years of living alone has been taking it's toll, so I bit the bullet and am now sharing my 4 bedroom house with a new, "miss wonderful". Having someone doing the cooking and cleaning for me is amazing. All of us bring some garbage into a new relationship, and she has a bunch of them, so we have made some consessions. First of all, she hates camping and T & TTT, so I got rid of my 1/2 Nelson Woody, the 6 ft Stacker, the Shrunk Bunk and I had to add her name to the grant deed of my house and the title of my new car. Wow, this living in sin is great, I should have done it earlier. I had to give up a lot, but it's been worth it. This may come as a complete surprise to many of you, but that's life. Some may think I am crazy, but we all have needs in life, and I'm one of them.

I'm sorry that I couldn't delay this message for another 8 months, but the timing just isn't right. So, don't expect any unbelievable stories from me on the 1st of April, as I am taking this opportunity to enlighten you with this hue-mungus lie ahead of time. Damn, I love April fool's Day, and now I have blown my crazy story ahead of time, but I hope it still got a grin or two. Long live humor!

Now, finally the truth, so disregard all of the above. I am still well and happy living alone, and enjoying my teardrops, 2 cats and 2 dogs. (Just rescued another pomeranian to keep Foxy Roxy company) I call her Teeny-Weeny Jeanie, since she only weighs 10 lbs. However, I really have sold the Shrunk-Bunk, to another teardropper and it will be remamed, The Squeeze Box! I do plan to make it to Woods Valley later this month, and will probably bring the Trolley-Top-Stacker, since it pulls so easilly and sleeps one comfortably.

As far as my lack of posts, this damn computer just takes so long to boot up and sometimes drops me altogether, so in frustration, I put it on hold for a few weeks, plus it's too damned hot in the room where the monster machine is. Thanks for those that noticed that I was absent, but believe me I am alive and kicking, at least for another 20 years! See you all at the campgroud.

Roly :? 8) :FNP , still cranking out cardboard TD ideas, so had to purchase another HF trailer and have another presently under construction and hope to have it all finished for Lake Shasta and hope it is the only one like it in the world, we'll see.

Glad to hear you are well Roly! :applause:
But I must say I am disappointed that you are not really on your way to Canada with the three show girls from Vegas? :(
You had better move that computer into the air conditioned living room with the dogs.

No reason a lady couldn't find a young at heart and active 81 year old bald gentleman interesting. Your younger in heart and soul than my 58 year old husband who by the way hates camping but bought me a tear.

Anyway good to see you around.

You really had me going, Roly! I was reading your post to my husband and muttering "gold-digging hussy elder abuser!" under my breath. I would advise you not to take any wooden nickels, but you're the one who makes them...

I couldn't agree with Karen (PKCSPT) more. :applause: It's how you live your life and what you do with the time you have left that matters most. Clearly your creativity and sense of humor are fully intact. And to make people laugh helps to keep yourself and them young at heart too. :thumbsup:

Since Roly said he was having his new special lady friend cook and clean I could not help but wonder what she was thinking about Roly's wooden toaster. :lol:
