No prob gig, thank YOU for the reps!
You guys still cooking out east?
I was talking to a guy yesterday that said it was pretty hot in Ontario (Toronto specifically and I know you are a ways away from there).

Supposed to be nice here, 30C (86F) and sunny
(That's plenty hot enough for me!!!!)

Kids named the boat "speedy" (even though it aint LOL). Waiting for decal to come in and will post a pic. So the plan it to cruise around in "speedy" this weekend.

Of course we will have an hour ride in the super duty this afternoon which the whole family always looks forward to!

Talking I'm Back !!!!

Howdy folks.......... Got back late Friday afternoon from camping at Willow Creek Resivor.... Just north-west of Augusta MT. Towed the 5th Wheel . 13.5K Lbs 33ft . 2K pin weight. 100 Gals (850 Lbs of water) in the bed, foreward of the hitch, 200 Lbs of fire wood and other stuff. A Canoe on the roof of the Truck. 3 adults and 1 - 5 yr old in the cab. 2 - 17yr olds and 1 - 9 yr old and 1- 13yr old and 3 doggies in the 5th wheel. The Truckie done good !! Great Acceleration and stopping power. 80 mile Hilly route with 15 miles of dirt/gravel road. The Rancho 9000xls set at 6 front / 7 rear did real well. Only 10 - 11 miles per gallon. The RV has a very high profile. maybe the mileage is the best that can be expected. Good to be back home. Had a nice visit with my daughter from VA Beach Virginia and her two boys, (9 & 11 yrs old).
The first morning we had a bunch of cattle come over to our campsite to check things out. A Bull decided to Charge the truck..... We tried yelling, no help. The Boarder Collie (Star) came to the rescue...... She went after the Bull and the rest of the cattle. She herded them away from us.!!! She earned a Treat !!

Did the truck stay level ?? I noticed, that the truck stayed level, with the 3K Lbs in the bed.
Now you can be happy that you hauled something other than Fuel....

When I was in they actually called it UA (Unauthorized Absense) but I leaned towards a more well known one....

Sounds like it was a great trip...

It did squat a bit so I leveled it with the airbags and it rode smooth as silk..no bricks toppled off
