Good morning all.

Back to hot and muggy weather with a drenching of rain.

Good weekend of camping with nightly fires, good alcohol, and nice people. It was Italian food event were all the campers brought Italian dishes of good food. Ate to much.

I said that if I hit 300 lbs. I would diet. guess what as of today I'm on a diet.

Good evening everyone. Got my new tow rig set up over the weekend.

It's actually riding right where it should on the rear suspension. It's got factory air ride, so it increases pressure to the bags until it hits a certain point. The tongue weight lifts the front up some though, so the front was riding a little high.

Not that much for this trailer though, I think it's around 200 lbs on the tongue.

Good morning all.

Batten down the hatches. We are in for some weather today.

My wife is planning for me to cook on the grill tonight in the rain and lighting. She said I could use an umbrella. Isn't she sweet.

Tom, that's a clean looking boat you got there.

Thanks! After selling the van that's about the only payment we still have. Bought it new in 2011 before the EPA emissions equipment were mandated and got a good deal. With the new emissions stuff we couldn't buy that same boat for anywhere near the same price, so we figured it's worth keeping.

Morning all.

Good looking day out there. Guess I will mow the lawn today and wash the truck.

Got a new phone from Sprint and had my son synced it up to the truck. What a pain. Being old it's just a phone that will take abuse. We went to Sprint because we can't get reception at the campgrounds with AT&T. My wife uses a I phone and it frustrates her when she doesn't have Facebook available to her.

I've worked with lots of folks who were stationed in Korea, and most of them have a really positive opinion of the place. Apparently the DMZ is a place for Serious Business, but the rest of the country is just like any other.

I was there in the service in 1968 on DMZ. More of a stop over 30 days.
