Good morning fellas!

I was a little busy this weekend getting to some forgotten projects. Got Mason's little ATV running after 10yrs. He is a tad too big for it so I convinced him to sell it and buy a dirt bike. I can't believe it ran after the gas sitting in there for 10yrs. That carb was nasty!! It does leak a little from the overflow so guessing the seats/seals are a bit dried up. Ordered a new carb and already have a buyer. Also got the deck posts and stained so it matches the decking. Turned out good. Had a couple fires with the neighbors and some beers. All in all a good weekend.

That's a pretty good weekend Cory.

Got a brief rain shower right as we finished up.

Good morning fellas!

Yup, seems like projects never end Jay.

Just don't overload the trailer again Chris.

Is it time to camp yet?

Good morning fellas!

Oh boy that sounds like a great time Jay. Shucks, too bad I am at work or I would help.

Camper is all loaded and ready. Half day tomorrow so I can mow before company arrives.

We are leaving to go camping tomorrow and returning 7/5/20
I bought a used ladder rack Wednesday for $30. Adjustable for 6' to 8' beds. I put the ladder rack on the f150 yesterday. Wasn’t too bad. I plan to carry the kayaks on it for camping. We have a tonneau cover on it. I didn’t want to take it off. The rack I bought had flat plate bolted on by the previous owner which also had a step in the plate that worked perfectly to fit over the tonneau cover bed rail plate. I have to cut around 10” out of the side rail pipe of the rack and weld it back together. The truck has the 5.5’ bed so I would have had to cut a few inches off anyway if I had it the full length of the bed. But the tonneau cover rolls up at the head of the bed so it had to be about 8” further back. Then I used some pipe insulation over the top cross bar. Using C clamps to hold it on. Should work to carry 4 on.

I also had to replace the cooler unit on the camper fridge. It went out before camping last year. Wasn't too bad to do and much cheaper than a new fridge. Will be nice to have a work fridge.
