I need some mind bleach to get that thought out of my head!

Not joking at all. I'm talking about exactly the same thing you mention. They've been known to take food from kind folks and throw it directly in the trash (or on the ground) as well.

 

I once had the pleasure of getting stuck in Boston near Govt Center for a few hours. Sitting on a bench I heard the panhandlers having quite the conversation one with another, about how much money they were taking in near the Aquarium. It is absolutely true how many people do this for a living, but own homes and cars. It seems I always see a guy and a dog, or a woman and child...and of course the cardboard sign.

I've given in the past - typically food, because often cash just buys booze or drugs for a truly homeless person...but sometimes I drive away feeling duped.

I don't mind helping the homeless or those down on their luck, but unfortunately there is really no way to tell a professional panhandler from someone who actually needs help.

 

Back from our weekend. For what it's worth, Rodney and anyone who has the Amazon awning led dimmer give it a quick trial before you head out. My battery in the remote was dead. Just a minor annoyance, but annoying none the less. It's a CR2025 battery.

 

Yep, mine went dead last year Scott. The ones that come with them are good for a year tops. The replacements go much longer...

 

Rodney must be sleeping in this morning, or is already busy on the local street corner. No activity.....

 

Nothing much going on today Dave. Wife and daughter both were having bad dreams and yelling in their sleep all night. Now I'm ready to sleep all day to make up for it. The two of them are nicely rested though...LOL

 

Lynn did the bad dream thing last night too........

I got up at 0615......On the couch by 0645.....nap until 0915.....Cooked breakfast 1100.....playing on the computer...FTE.

Been a tough day so far........

 

I know this is going to sound a bit strange, but does anyone need a new toilet for their rig? I just ordered a new Thetford Aria Classic for our master bath. I will be removing a very slightly used Dometic 310 Ceramic Bone toilet. Literally two weeks of camping on it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just have different tastes in toilets.

 

Queue the toilet jokes...

 

I knew that would come next!!

 

Steve has some serious output and needs an HD receptacle... He's going with an Incinolet...

 

Hey! Steve, I swore about 10 posts ago you said no more projects! This one may put you in the ****** house! And what are you doing tasting them????

 

LOL....
"Taste" and "Toilet" never go together in the same sentence....
I could actually use a new Thunderbucket the Fortress, but the cost to get it to AZ would exceed the budget...

 

This one doesn't really count as a "project". Unbolt two bolts and a water connection. Bolt in two new bolts and a water connection. I don't normally count something like that as project.

 

If you're serious, when are you headed back to MN, and what is your route? Maybe this could work.
