Tim, it folds up into a carry/roller bag 45x12x12. The tent is even separate from the cot so either can be used individually.

Good morning Nevada, welcome to Thursday!

I'd really like to get a 5th wheel camper. Can't talk the wife into that yet.

Good morning guys

Happy Thursday

Not much going on here today. Just kickin' back in bed under the electric blanket waiting for the storm to roll in & playing with the puppy, Baby Bleu. I just call her Baby. Her vision seems to be improving somewhat. She can see shadows in certain light, however, she did faceplant the kitchen wall last week while playing chase with her siblings. Poor lil' girl! She's so fiesty. She just shook it off, stumbled around the corner & continued the chase. Boy, I wish I could bounce back like that. LOL
I'll try to post a video or pictures of her later.

​​​​​​​Have a great day and keep warm & dry.

Afternoon Everyone.

Donna glad to see you back.

I just got out of the Fallon hospital. I had a blocked bowel. I had this happen 7 years ago. Thank God no surgery. Just an NG tube down the nose to the stomach. That's the worst part. So I have had to put off my knee replacement. The up side is there is a good orthopedic surgeon in Fallon. If I can get it done in Fallon I would feel much better. The hospital in Fallon is the best hospital I have ever been at. I have been there too many times (5 days ICU, 10 days in a regular room since 2009). But the care is outstanding, the food is much better than most & it is very clean.

Well, I guess if you have to go to a hospital, the one in Fallon would be it. Hope you can recover soon.

Happy Friday Nevada FTE and friends. Hope everyone has a great day, and even better weekend. Raining pretty hard here today and supposedly will continue into the wee hours of tomorrow morning. I don't care, bought a new computer game to play so I will be indoors most the time anyway. Going to be a farmer. LOL As I bought Farming Simulator 17 for the PC. Only played yesterday so far, but love it already, and I don't even get my hands dirty LOL.

Yeah, I don't want to say we need it because then we will get too much, but I for one am happy it is still coming down.

Well, it has been a hell of a long time that you guys were dry. It may take a while for that to correct itself.

True, can't negate five years of drought with one season of heavy rain. Unless of course, it rains for forty days and forty nights. LOL
