Good morning to all the FTE family ... regulars and irregulars alike !!! Got to dip in a pool all weekend and BBQ both days ... kinda cooling off a little but the humidity needs to get out !!!! I want my 9% and lower back !!! My truck A/C failed on me and I am not A/C knowledgeable enough to figure it out ... so come on cooler weather !!!
I am thinking about building a "Tiny Home" so I am starting my quest for a approx. 20'X8' (+/-) 2 axle rolling trailer frame only 5th wheel or bumper pull to build on ... must be CHEAP
Be safe and remember school is starting or started ... so watch out for the roaming bands of munchkins in the school zones !!! ... Dave
Hey amigo, good idea on the "tiny home" cause you could cool that with an $89 window air conditioner. And If you make a cover raised six or eight inches off the roof you reflect off most of the sun.
Check salvage yards for old travel trailers. Even if they are not road worthy they can be OK for a stationary purpose.

Down here in Pahrump their a load of old non useable trailers that can be stripped to the frame for my use. I would prefer to have it as a "roller" now than after I build on it. My plans (very rough drawings) allow for a Queen sized bed and a 48X48 shower area with a solar heater and solar electric 12V charging system. The top cover you mentioned will be the solar panels... It's been on the drawing board for a while !!! Dave
LOL...I know, right?
Everytime I'd go to ride it or even sit on it, Karl would beat me to the bike! He already has dibs on it as his future hand-me-down.
I don't know though, my granddaughter might fight him for it when she's old enough. LOL! What do you think?
I hope it is still running by the time your grand daughter is old enough to ride it. However, by then I am sure Karl will have his own crotch rocket.
Probably pork chops with scalloped potatoes, & salad,
I bought a standing rib roast yeterday that is cooking now as we speek. ( that's prime rib for those that don't know) baked potatoes and string beans with almonds. And to drink zienfidel semi dry.

Really. Lets see out of all the crotch rocket wrecks I have been on in the last 30 years how many survied hummmmmmm none oh wait the guy a few years ago that was showing off and flipped it over I think he lived don't know for sure we were all laughing so hard when I passed him. Sorry sweetie just not happy about it. I know you'll be careful.
Dinner? Chex Mix, ice cream, and a fruit punch.. Since I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer. I do have microwave dinners I can pop in, and will probably do that before bed.
If you could have your dream car, what would it be?
Although I'd have to have a huge warehouse for all of the dream cars I want, I'd have to say that my #1 dream car is a Ferrari 308 GTS!

Just for you?...I'll be extra careful...I promise! If I ever want open it up & see what it'll really do...I'd take it out to Top Gun Raceway! I know..."It's not neccesarily my driving your worried about - it's the other idiots on the road!"
I probably shouldv'e gotten a 250 instead to start out with, but I figured I've owned a Honda CB 350 in 1990 (when I was prego w/ Cammy) & a Honda CM 400 in 1999(when I was prego w/ Karl), so I might as well keep moving up in the world & NO, I'm not prego. I actually had a guy want to trade me his Ninja zx750r for the car, but he couldn't find the CA. title, otherwise I probably wouldv'e gotten that! To be honest though, I'm glad I didn't, because the 600 is almost to big for comfort & has more than enough power to get me in trouble or hurt, & we don't want that!
