I think he's ready.

I on the other hand know I'm ready (sorry no pics). Made some real progress on my cabinets, should be building drawers and re wireing by next weekend.
I really think I'll be done before I go this time

Scott's ready

To bad his trailer isn't

He will still be working on it at 5 AM 5/14/09 and will be fashionably late as usual.

Anyone want to take bets

As to my sleeping habits I have a dog that insists on a 3 am potty break so while I am waiting on her to ask in I check up on you guys.

My teardrop is still covered with road dirt from the shivaree. Last week we had a big rain and the ground is like mush so I can't get it out of my barn to clean up. I had 14" of water in one part of my driveway but that was gone Saturday morning. This weekends project has been building a table for my Big Green Egg.

Just found out that friends of ours have booked site #270. They are Tom & Laurie that were at Madison last summer. They will again be there in their pop-up with their kids.

Of course Scott will still be working on the camper. We'll have to bury him in it because he will still be working on it when he dies.

I will be really late again because I have to work. Hopefully, I won't get lost this time. We have made a run over there so I could find my way in the dark and Scott, I hope, is going to leave me the gps.

I'm ready.

Go Amy Go

Pick on him and leave me alone.

But call me if you want your fire started

I had to try out the new trailer hitch we had put on my wife's car, so I went to the state park.
Since I was there, I found a nice spot, pulled in and parked.
Then I turned on the heater (still a little chilly) and had lunch in the trailer.
After lunch, I had a nice cup of hot coffee, and watched a show on the TV.
Then I regretfully had to "pack it up" and head back home.
(Does that count as camping?)

Rob, that's closer to camping this year than I have gotten! Yea, I'd count that.

[bobhenry]

Looks real pretty where were ya ?

Hi Guys

It's 3:00 and the dog wanted out

Weekend was productive. Installed the redneck antenna on a telescopic mount that attaches to the pull out privacy frame. Cleaned and repacked all the equipment from the Shivaree.

Mounted a new cd player / radio combo. and installed my $10.00 goodwill JVC color tv with a new cheapy dvd player. Mounted the clock in a very visible spot dead center of the top shelf in the front. Velcro tape is my new best friend. Everything should now stay in place over the bumps after velcroing all the electronics to the cabinets and across the top of front shelf. Used egg crate foam and a bungey cord for the tv dvd player to help isolate from the road shock. Wanted to install the digital converter buy ol what's her name said no, she was watching tv and wouldn't give it up. Wish they would send me my coupons so I can get the other converter boxes.

Recieved my 1st shipment of 25 Dutch oven lid lifters from Mair manufacturing. Will have them for "RENT" at the Raccoone gathering.









Even found time to build some bar lights

Retirement is great, lots of time to putter just wish I had planned for unemployment better 'cause it don't pay worth a damn

Good Morning Bob
You see how my wife treats me, of coarse she only speaks the truth.
I told her I'm done for good when I finish this time.
