mine wasnt an issue of a shop... while id like one i dont mind working outside too... my waterpump arrived on the 27th but i started feeling sick on the 26th... after that trying to stand up (and sometimes even just laying in the bed) felt like i was on a ship rolling through 60ft seas... that started going away a couple days ago... along with the temp, light sensitivity and constant headache (which is gone during the day but keeps coming back in the afternoons).. but cough is still around, still dont have my voice back yet and at times hard to breath from all the congestion... nice thing is the congestion seems waning...

Lookin' good Bob. It must have been nice to decorate the house like you wanted to without having to ask a landlord.
Tony, I'm still laughing by the look on your face last October when you arrived via the trails. You made it though, that's all that matters.
Shawn, hope you feel better soon, they say that flu this season ain't no joke.
Josh, you're doing a fine job. Everyone is just busy.
Mako, look forward to meeting you.
I hope everyone is doing OK. It's was busy for me last year. I'm taking it easy this year, I hope...lol.

All is good here, I just put new batteries in my truck a month ago. I’ve already been down the “low battery” road with a PSD. That engine definitely does not like a low battery and will start acting up. By the way I noticed you have dually, I have a spare wheel and tire for the dually if you’re interested, the wheel is a little dirty but the tire has never been used. I have the 22.5 wheels with 10 lugs so I can’t use the stock spare anymore.

All is good here as well. Was going to go look at a new toy this evening but it got sold out from under me before I could go look... so I'm now back to surfing the classifieds trying to find another toy to buy.

I’ll keep my eyes open around here but I honestly don’t know anything about the camper/travel trailer scene. My neighbor has a huge fifth wheel that he Tow’s with a small semi but he’s crazy like that.

Thought I'd re-surface now that the festive season is behind us.
Looks like I'm going to be getting started finally on my 73. Have parts in the mail to create an enclosed cab which the dog can't enter from through the floorwells. Then I'm getting snooty and putting some new weather seal on to attempt to keep the majority of the elements out. Some work was meant to take place this weekend but my darling daughter has decided to try to pry out her own eyeball with her thumb, such are the best laid plans.
