Not the sharpest pencils in the box! WOW!!! :blink:

Good luck on the sale of your kayak. Thanks for posting the Ed Gillette story. That was one crazy adventure! The construction on your new folding unit is impressive. Hope you find a good home for your old girl.

That’s hilarious! Nice that’s it’s going to a new home.

Very interesting article. I like the tribal take on the plan.

Sweet trip and pics! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice and well thought out sir! That will be my next ride for our Grandby. Congrats!

Rain and big wind here with 20% of the corn still in the fields. Farmers are getting it handed to them this year. It’s been a total train wreck for those guys all year. Warm temps this week means more mud for them to deal with. We need some freezing temps to tighten the ground.

No doubt the Ford lineup of trucks are well engineered. My neighbor is a farm implement dealer and a ford guy. He replaces trucks regularly all sizes and motor types. He tells me the Ford F-250 with the 6.2/6 speed is among the most dependable trucks he has in his fleet. I don’t think buying any...

Nice! Welcome! Looks like you have a golden buddy!

I asked a reputable dealer about the 7.3 / 10 speed MPH. He didn’t sound encouraged that it would be a mileage game changer.

FYI the F-250 SD with a FWC will not fit through a 8’ door opening. Camper and truck height is roughly 8-3” to the top of the roof vents. The truck bare will barely clear a 7’ standard door opening. Yep I checked before considering buying the new F-250. My F-150 and FWC clears a 8’ opening with...

I had know idea there were all these options! Thanks to all for the recommendations.

You go to the Doctor for a cortisone shot in your shoulder. He tells you you may need rehab for your serious fishing addiction. :D

My design is for a Grandby model. My build construction consists of the following: - 2x6 framing - 2x6 stacked corner backing - 2x4 under deck backing for attaching truck cap fixture - equally spaced joist - 7/16” deck/2’ bottom sheathing at each end for structural integrity - coated deck...

Sweet report! I can relate to the heath stuff. Our camper is in the barn for the winter sleeping. The salt and chloride road treatments are brutal in IL. Wayne

Learning the new phones capabilities with Paige as my subject. Mini tripod and phone mount making a nice platform for pics. Three separate lenses and a multiple editing options to choose from. Fun to learn new technology for this not so tech savvy guy. ​ Different lighting edits. [/url]...

Great pics! Being a midwesterner I know nothing about rock structures and types. Your blogs along with others have been a real education. Keep up the great posts with your adventures! Wayne

Nice cold condition mods! Enjoy your setup. :)

After debating to purchase a new camera or a iPhone 11 I upgraded to the 11. Verizon gave me $200 for trading in my iPhone 7. I’ve since purchased a mini tripod and phone holder. I do a lot of fishing solo and this will really help in the boat for selfie’s. The tripod also came with a easy to...

Need recommendations on a good quality portable 12v air compressor. Would use for airing up tires. Thanks Wayne

Good information. We have the same toilet. Thanks for posting.

That’s the right call.

I’m thinking remove. I don’t think there will be enough travel on the jacks. And if there is may be a little scary having the camper that high in the air. I’m sure some more experienced guys will help. May be helpful to list your complete setup. Truck, year, etc. Wayne

Thanks! I purchased from Caster Connection on the web. CC STOUT-6S-TP3. They have solid cast iron with a semi hard outer covering. They are rated for 1200 lbs. plenty of wheel very high quality. I don’t remember the costs I’m thinking they were around $60 each. I think they are well worth the cost.

We are lucky to have a pocket of self sustaining pheasants, quail and turkey here. There is enough habitats in a four square mile area to support them. Four years ago a few farms converted back from CRP to row crops. I’ve noticed a numbers drop in pheasants since then. Also the Roundup era and...
