Okay, since this thread has gone quiet I guess I'll bounce it back to the top. Where's Colson btw? Is he still in Vegas?

Well my DH is anxiously waiting the delivery of his golf cart. It was supposed to be ready last weekend but we both agreed that it was a short delivery window so weren't really surprised when he pushed it back a week. Now it was supposed to be today but he hasn't called yet to give my DH a time. We wanted working brake lights and the guy is waiting for the part to come in. It was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn't. He said he was trying to get it from somewhere else.
Since I have cancelled the cart from the Fort, I hope it will be ready for us before we leave. Why oh why did I cancel the cart already??!!

But on a positive note, when I cancelled I spoke to Ms. Sundee for the very first time. Since I'm new to Fort camping (only been once), I had yet to meet the famous Ms. Sundee. It was lovely chatting with her.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday. Off to a birthday party for my niece.

I know I have been away for a while, but what are Fort Fiends? I love that logo.

BTW- Can you believe that KENTUCKY is the #8 team in the country? OMG!

What a year!

 

[AuburnJen92]

Nevermind, I found it.

Gatordad, I wish we could have gone to the game...now I have to wait until July to meet you. Hopefully it won't be that long. Best of luck against LSU next week!

OK since I heard about it first here.... I tried one of those Heineken mini Kegs. Do you know if they make other ones beside Heineken? I have looked around but did not find any others. Just like to make sure I'm not missing anything

A rotary is turbulent water at the bottom of a dam - stay away from it with your kayak.

My DH went to pick up the taxi golf cart today. It was supposed to be bright corvette yellow. This was the exact color that was agreed upon. The guy even had my DH look on the GM website to make sure he wanted the color.
Taxi is a lovely sherbet yellow. It doesn't even come close to being bright yellow. Guy told my DH "When I saw the paint job I knew you weren't going to be happy." Then why go ahead and have it detailed. AAAHHH!!!

So the guy has given us delivery of the pale yellow cart so that we can use it on our trip and he is getting new tins to paint while we are away. When we get back my DH is going down to approve everything prior to being detailed. Everything was written on the receipt and my DH has finished paying him. Oh and the trailer broke on the way to pick up the cart. My poor DH had to fix the trailer prior to putting the cart on it. Oh well, at least it didn't break when the cart was on it. Something positive to keep in mind.

I wore my Gator cap yesterday to show I'm not a sore loser. I predicted Auburn would win after the loss the weekend before. The Gators should have prepared better. Oh well, we'll get em next time.

I'm back! Sorry, last week was crazy at work and I didn't really have time to check in, plus it was a short week for me anyways.

Vegas was good, I don't know, it just didn't have the same appeal to me as it has in years past. Maybe I'm getting old or something Even my wife, which this was her first trip to Vegas, wasn't all that crazy about it.

Ended up breaking even (don't we all), so no millions were made. All in all it was a relaxing trip, and we went up into the mountains one day and it was nice to breathe some cold mountain air (as compared to hot and humid Florida air).

Ok, now onto the BIG news..................

My parents work in Montana every summer at Glacier National Park, they stay in their camper while they are there. They have been working their way home the past week, and ran into some problems with the brakes. They got it fixed, and then it happened again.

So I guess they were just kind of sick of dealing with a fifth wheel, so they called me up on Friday to tell me they sold it in Oklahoma and got this:

More info is here: http://www.winnebagoind.com/products/itasca/suncruiser/

Needless to say, I was rather shocked, and quite happy at the same time. It looks like my parents have now become "officially" retired..lol.

I've been reading about it all weekend, it really is a great motorhome, it's one of the few I could find that has a slideout that goes the entire length of one side, it's something like a 23 foot slideout.

So it looks like Thanksgiving is going to be riding in style, hey, I can't complain! Now if only I could get myself one of those. Oh wait, I told them I they could keep it at my house as long as I could use it whenever I want

I can't believe they didn't cut you a deal on the 5th wheel. You need to be more proactive. My son starts working on me as soon as I bring the new trailer home. Last weekend after I finished waxing the truck he made me an offer on the whole package - trailer and tow vehicle. It was a fortune to him, but a laughable amount. Gotta give him credit for trying, though.

Okay Chris, I need info on the drivetrain, thats the part I like.

Yea, I really would have loved to, but with the new baby coming everything is about saving money right now. I should have tried harder to get a freebie...lol
