Well, I figured I would make one that was easy to keep.

Cool nights remind me of when we used these outside to stay warm. Guess that'd be a problem these days.

 

You would probably be executed on site for lighting one now days

I've got the lower stack of an old smudge pot out in the backyard...it's now a flowerpot.

 

I likey. Guess I best check with the boss first before adding to my cart...

Legacy Power Wagon | Old Dog. New Tricks.

 

Loved the "Add to Cart".

Nice touch!

I wonder that the mark up is on those? I do the math generously and figure they make $80-100K on each one? Or am I miscalculating?

 

Anyone else a Downton fan?

 

This is a surprise:

Huell Howser, California TV Legend, Passes Away

 

You beat me to it Steve. Yes, very suprised and curious about the cause of death. He was 67, which is older than he looked.

Sad about this.

Huell Howser was main attraction on California's Gold - latimes.com

 

Too Bad. He was a good ole guy.
Seemed like he really enjoyed his work.

 

After reading that article, I'm reminded of Shawshank...

Andy Dufresne: Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Sad story. Edit: paper today said 'natural causes'.

 

I've been looking into a camping utility trailer. I like the idea of having all the gear loaded and ready to go and not having to unload after a trip.

Seems like a utility trailer (like this one) would fit the bill, but I'm guessing this one will need brakes, registration, (hours at the DMV), tax, etc. A nice guy selling it (he put it together):

''The trailer was made from a 1977 GMC 1 ton truck.
The rear end, brakes, suspension are all stock, it has 8 lug 16.5 in wheels, the pumpkin is in good condition.
The doors on the utility bed are all good, one is missing its lock, the top compartments also open up.
The bed was made by Harbor Fabrication Co in 1977, it has a diamond plate floor and other than needing paint it is in very good condition.
The step bumper is heavy-duty and has a 2" square reciver hitch built-in, the rear lights are also built-in.
I also have the front wheels from the truck w/tires, all the tires have good tread but are old.
I welded in a 2" ball coupler, so this is ready for use as is.
I will wire up the lights to match you tow vehicle if you need them.'', plus the price is pretty nice too.

It would need a cap of some sort, really not a fan of the shingle roof tops we see from time to time at the beaches.

My wife says property values would drop if that was in the driveway () and she has a point...but we're not in a highfalutin' 'hood. To keep peace, i'd need to rent a space nearby.

Am I missing anything else in the equation? (other than GMC )

thanks.

 

Dont know why it would need brakes if its under 5k and behind an excursion.. And the pumpkin can go haha..

I thought this was cool

 

If I read right, any homemade? trailer over 1500lbs needs brakes. Very cool homemade & lightweight trailer!

 

Well, technically, it has brakes. And a quick paint job to match the Ex would be all it needs to raise those darn property values, maybe add some pinstriping. Seriously though, if that is what you are looking for i would jump on it. Especially if the price is right. However, I don't know how you would convert the brakes to electric to get them to work.
