Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

Our next scheduled trip is our annual Thanksgiving trip. Do you think we can hold out that long? NOT!!!!!!

I gotta get back soon. Maybe we'll see about a MNSSHP trip or something in Sept.

That was funny about leaving your son. MrsGus and her family are really nice people. My daughter loved being with her kids. She asks daily if we're going to go back before they go home lol.

We met some real nice people on the last trip and got to know some others a little better. One of the nice things about the internet is meeting people you have something in common with. We camped when I was a kid and I can recall making new friends on almost every trip.

I think you need to make some plans to make some more friends.

Ok, We are about to make our third trip this year and have yet to meet any DIS friends. First off I know what your thinkin' " oh you poor thing, your third trip this year, however do you manage". I figure we either ( A )pick the wrong times to go or ( B ) I pick the wrong things to post and everyone plans thier trip around my post to make sure they don't run into us (DW seems to think its option B ) . Thanksgiving always seems popular so maybe next year we will shoot for that. I thought Halloween would be good but it seems to have the same impact for DIS as administrative assistants day .I guess it will just be me,DW, the Provost guy and all those student drivers . Man, It would be easier to make this thing hit 5,000 words instead of post .I do have an actual question or query as it were. Has anyone seen the racks similiar to the ones on the back of trucks to haul luggage, bikes, etc using your receiver hitch used to haul a golf cart behind a fiver. I almost started a new thread but figued I needed to do my part to help this one along

I re read my post and thought I should explain better. Some people have racks on the back of there trucks that slide into the receiver hitch to haul things. I saw something that was installed with Three receivers ( to handle the weight ) to carry a golf cart. The one I saw ( picture only ) was on the back of a class A. Seems to me that if the Fifth wheel has the available frame you could use it. I would think this would not fall under the double towing law ( of course I would check before hitting the road) .

My post are only slightly meaningless chit chat but, I do tend to ramble on. No since tying up another thread with it. AAHHH the Hat Trick.

 

[Gatordad]

welcome to my thread, make yourself at home.

I've seen the contraption you are talking about. not sure if it would work on a 5'er, and the weight police may yell at you. (well i don't know, but figure they might)

 

[clkelley]

I don't have anything to add, except to say it's Friday!!! and isn't it 5 o'clock somewhere???!!!!

Also grousing because I've been playing with my camper so much over the last month, I promised for the next two weekends we would scrub the house as we've been neglecting it. I'd rather play with the camper

Not scheduled to take my baby back out till we go whitewater rafting the 24th of August

I wanted to get my 300th post, so here it is!!!!!! Gatordad, I am still looking for tix...getting there, but I just gave the radiator guy 2450.00 for the new motor home radiator, so I am a little cash poor for a couple of weeks....

 

[Gatordad]

i'll pay up front, i'm zany like that.

 

[AuburnJen92]

i'll pay up front, i'm zany like that.

No need for that. I will let you know when I find something in a decent price range. You Gators are being a little on the ridiculous side for the tix right now. I will find the right price...soon. It is a challenge that I must conquer!

This is post number 100 for me. I thought this would be a good place to announce it.

And 27 days til I see the Fort for the first time!

And now, back to the regular chit chat.

 

[Gatordad]

congratulations, please bring some rolled tacos with you when you visit from SoCal.

Just curious if others out there are addicted to RV shows like we are. If there is an RV show within 50 mmiles, we have to go. We're not in the market for a new RV, but I love looking at all of them. Who knows... we just might see one that we HAVE to have.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I try to stay away from RV shows with ftwildernessgirl. It would cost me too much money. I can't even take her to the dealer with me anymore when I get the Kiwi serviced and inspected. Last time she found a new Jayco hybrid with a slide out, sat down on the couch and said she wasn't leaving until I bought it. She did emerge a half hour later when she figured out I was willing to leave her.

What a shameless use of valuable forum space. By the way, this is post 1550 for me.

 

[Colson39]

I'm just posting here to see what my post count is.

Edit: Ok, it's 992.

 

[Gatordad]

rv shows = bad, ripoffs.... never go, bad bad bad

your results may vary

 

[ftwildernessguy]

You lost some ground when you took some time off to work, Colson. Time to catch up.
