Good excuse to stand next to the fire too ... Nice and warm !!! Guess they only call them that here , and only when roasting over a burn barrel , for some odd reason ...

[wagondude]

So do you cut them open put in marshmallows and wrap them in foil? Or just cook them on a stick?

when I was a kid there was a movie in which hobos standing around a burn barrel called them mickeys, I never knew what that meant glad you explained it. See never too old to learn something. now the problem is I remember the scene in the movie but I will forget what they were called by tomorrow. Then someone will say something about a mickey and I wont remember..................that is what getting older means. In the mean time I will just blame it on the spiked eggnog treat I just finished..........

Santa Clause was good to me, I got some money for my TD, a toaster oven and an electric blanket and lots of other little things. I am happy!!!

I did a good deed for friends this week, Did a good deed for a stranger and didn't kill the idiot that drove 14 miles with his cars lights on bright behind me and too close the whole the whole way home tonight.

Hope you had a great day!!!

You're much nicer than me. I'd have pulled over at some point, gotten behind him, turned on my hi-beams and followed him instead... until either common sense or my wife intervened...

[Mary C]

nope did the speed limit moved the mirrors and slowed down occasionally put on my blinker and ups wrong street, double yellow line all the way. if They didn't get it then they were either an idiot or worse. I want one of those electric little things that you can put in your back glass and put little sayings on and change them as needed. I just cant find one.

Mary, FS’s just Fine !!!

Anybody annoying gets behind me , I just start slowing down ... until they finally give up and pass me ... If they continue , then we give up , figuring they Are IDIOTS and there’s nothing we can do about it .... sorta’ like Politicians... ...

[GPW]

Well, I don’t know about you good folks , but I can’t seem to get motivated to do any trailer work out in this Cold weather ... Maybe we’ll work on the FS inside (with the heater on ) ... still need to do some trim moulding on the door ... Outside’s done except for welding on the new coupler and safety chains (thanks to KC) ... and we still have to get it registered....

[GPW]

... and now it’s the weekend ... and raining (again) Just another rain test for the FS ... about all we can do in this weather ... and dream of the next build ... ...

[GPW]

Finally stopped raining for now ... with our wet climate , I noticed a little green mold starting around the bottom (especially on Foamie #1 ) If left unattended , mold grows on Everything here !!!... Was thinking of trying one of those household cleaners with bleach ... that works , but I wonder if it affects the paint .... I used it on the FS when we did that “touchup” on the bottom recently , then rinsed in clear water and painted over... so there was no real “test” whether it affected the finished paint ... or not ...

Any of you ever have to deal with mold , and have a favorite recipe to get rid of it ? Living outside all the time , both my Foamie’s are subject to all this “outside” stuff happening... Nothing has affected the integrity of the trailer , but I don’t want it to turn Green and nasty either ...

[GPW]

... here’s a tip .... We had a paintbrush that some TB2 had dried in , making it stiff as a board ... So we put it in a jar with some of that Hand Sanitizer gel stuff and a little water .... Half a day later , the brush is as good as new ... Kinda’ makes you wonder what’s in that stuff?

[RandyG]

I've used bleach in a pressure washer for mold but I doubt you would want to spray foam with that much pressure.

Been watching this thread for a while and just now chiming in, you've done some nice work G.

[GPW]

Thanks RG , I do have a “lightweight “ pressure washer... Doubt if it would hurt the FS a bit ... Hmmm? ... another “test” ...

[KCStudly]

The trailer for TPCE has been sitting outside since I "finished" it, and it has a tint of green growing on it. I think a little scrub with a stiff plastic bristle brush and a pressure wash is all it needs; but that is epoxy coated steel.

For foamie canvas I might go with a mild bleach and water solution and the brush, then just hit it with a small nozzle on the garden hose. A little blast, but not too much pressure.
