Tim get that hatch and the doors on and you are down the road with the tent forever left in the garage. I am sure Grandma would love to hear stories of your first trip out. The fenders look great! I have never seen a TV antenna like that will it pick-up the new digital signals arriving next year?

Jim, From what I've read, most any regular TV antenna should pick up the digital signals, so this one should. I will find out soon when I install my TV in the teardrop. It might be at the end of the month, when I finally get it campable, but I will let you know how the antenna works.

I've got some more photos of my SSSSLLLLOOOWWW progress on my tear posted in my album. Take a look when you get a chance.

Please post when and which camp site when you know, so I can keep this list updated for everyone. Also if you have any updates or changes let me know.

Just a note to anyone on this forum. All are welcome to join us! We always look forward to meeting new (and old) friends!

There has got to be more people from Minnesota and Wisconsin that want to come and have a good time. Let here from ya!! I think the first official Minnesota/Wisconsin Tearjerkers gathering should be bigger!

Poor Timmy

I think Dianne has an old tent you can borrow. :applause:

I don't have an obligation to have the teardrop done for the FIRST Tearjerkers outing. Remember, I'm skipping it!

I'm obligated to get my tear done for the first TearJerker gathering now?

It sounds like I need to just relax this next weekend and get my tent ready.

Tim,
You have to get it ready! Do you know how hard it was to find 15 rolls of pink toilet paper!!! :twisted:

by **cs_whypt2** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 8:38 pm

I built a 'garage' and 'laid a foundation' for the garage for my teardrop this past week. Now that it is out of the rain, I will get to other things. :lol:

(But you don't see me whining and posting pictures of my progress, do ya??)

WOW Tim these ladies are brutal. I think if you show up with :lol:

a tent you better have a pillow in the truck because I think your tent might be fuel for the fire :campfire:

by **kayaklover** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 8:56 pm

Tim when was the last time your tent was sprayed with a fire retardant ?
Just curious. I would hate to have an accident while camping. :twisted:

I think I'm going up to Pine City to go camping. I've got an open invitation there and I'll be ALL alone!
