Yep, 87k miles, Ram Air III 4 speed 3.55 Posi, pretty much the base edition of this rare bird. Your old ragtop sounds sweet, I have a '69 Camaro convert waiting in the back of the garage for it's turn. Plans call for A/C in it too, gotta love old droptops with air!

At least propane is cheap up here, $20 to fill a 30# tank, It's only got below freezing a few times so far. Tonight it's supposed to get down to 24*. I guess it'll test my home made heat taped water hose. Should be good though, last year we got colder than that in NC a few times.

Another 3 weeks here then back to Winston Salem for a month and then Arizona.

In Socastee by Myrtle Beach there are two propane dealers trying to get all the business. I paid $7.99 to fill a 20# cylinder (flat rate). Bigger ones are by the pound.

Stayed at Lakewood many, many times. I used to drive up 544 a bit to a hardware store to get ours filled, but I think it was $28 for a 30# tank.

That's the spot. Another place opened right next to them, that rents equipment and stuff. They installed a propane tank, and the price wars were on. Got it for $5.99 at one point, but last weekend it was $7.99 (cash only). Steady traffic with about 2-3 folks waiting at any point.

We have a permanent spot at Ocean Lakes. Thinking about selling it so we can move around more.

Howdy all Ye Great Folks........
One more point for 12,000..........

The beach sounds nice.....Very cold and snow due to hit tonight. Next winter...Lynn and I are talking about taking the 5th wheel south for part of the winter.... We are raising my 6 yr old granddaughter that we just adopted. We are planning to homeschool her and travel a bunch.

SC beaches in the winter sound like they might be nice......I used to live up and down the east coast when I was a kid and while on Active Duty in the Navy. Too hot and humid for me in the summer......

12K rep points Roy?

First of each new winter I long for warmer temps and less snow but keeping in mind its a trade off---I kinda hate and detest heat & high humidity!

We've rebounded a bit, back to more seasonable temps---will be almost 60* here today, plenty of sun. Tomorrow storms with rain but still warm. Best thing is all that mess will not be snow!

We might head to AZ next in our travel trailer, or maybe the Houston area for a while. Homeschooling is great!! Zoie is in the 5th grade now and I can still do the math haha.
