pulling tons of hours lately, 'paying my dues' for the new management position. On the plus side I'm getting things paid off enough where I can start diverting some funds towards the WW.

going to go sketch a bit tonight and 'see' what I can figure out design wise.

the LOML and I were over at Dick's sporting good yesterday, picking up some side panels for our new EZ-up. We have a craft show this weekend, which Ive been busy preparing for:

that ought to keep us in business this weekend.


But I digress...

we were walking through the camping section when Lori spotted a cot with a tent on it... her comment went something like 'Oh I like that, you're up off the ground, it is just a quick set up and you're done.'...

to which I replied in a 'cough'... 'Teardrop trailer'... cough cough...

she rolled her eyes at me, but I made my point... if she wants quick get away camping, we're going to have a hybrid foamie... at this point it will be for Next summer, but we're going to have one!

Need we need to add to that, open a hatch and you have a kitchen at your disposal, close the hatch and your ready to go?

LOML was just reading the coupons, and there was a HF page in the insert... she pointed out that the 4x8 folding trailer was only $230... and I quote "for when we build the teardrop trailer" :twisted: :twisted: :beer:

Local HF was a zoo today, I didn't have time to find an associate to ask if they had trailer in stock, but none were evident when I looked

Ned , that’s a scam they tried to pull on me .... no trailers in stock , and if they ordered one , you’d have to pay for the shipping , which was Not THRIFTY at all ( > 100 USD) ... I bitched so much to HF and to the manager , they got me one without the shipping ... They advertise it but don’t stock it ... Ridiculous !!! :roll: Capitalist Ba*****S :twisted:

Yep, once you ad shipping I might as well get better customer service & buy a black trailer @ TSC
