Roy those new wheels look like it will make your hoist easier to move around, are the tires hard rubber or air filled?
Yeah, my wife's from North Carolina.... Cold blooded. She has no interest. I've tried. No worries though. Boys' days.

Stopped by home Depot and saw Roy for a bit. Hand looks good. Picked up some paint and primer for the inside of the trailer. Hopefully I can prime tomorrow, paint Friday. Weather permitting.

Good morning (late) painters, cowboys, Veterans & Patriots.....

Yep.... Steve came by The Orange Toy Store and bought out the paint department... I was very busy in Electrical...... didn't visit much.
When I got home yesterday, I was tired......

Got up way too early this morning...... about 0400 feet hit the deck.
Read email, articles & news. Yummy coffee.....

Left the house about 0725 for a 0745 Doc appointment. The stitches in my hand were removed...

Got home and had Frosty Flakes and coffee for breakfast and now eating a cinnamon roll and hot tea......
Gotta get to work..... Blood-sugar is going sky high.

Rather cold outside.... 29°F when I left for the Doc appointment. Now it is up to a sizzling 34°F..... 51°F is supposed to be the high for today.

Now I have two little doggies pinning me to the recliner..... I might be forced to nap.....

Have some fun everyone......
Yep..... Steve

Got the trailer interior primed. Had to go back to home Depot for an extra quart. Was just short. That OSB soaked up the primer. Hope I have enough paint tomorrow.

OSB sure does that, Steve. Found that out sealing a storage trailer floor. With the snow, I wonder if you can get something like a plastic liner and have a drain in the floor

Good morning one and all......

The sky is starting to light up..... Pretty as usual....
A little cool outside..... 42° with 15 - 20 mph winds.

The trailer is looking great MT-Steve......
Yep..... USB sure does suck-up the primer.

Theresa let me know last night that a headlight is dead on the Honda..... I hope it isn't a PITA to replace.
I'll replace both while I am at it. I also have to take it to BigO for tire swap. Winter tire time.

I hope all ye fine folks have a great day....... Have some fun....

The paint I got is anti-slip exterior for decks and such, so it should hold up pretty well. I was thinking about rubber stall mat material as a liner.
Also looking for some modular storage options on the walls. The Milwaukee system is cool but pricey. We used a Husky system in the toy hauler that works well, but nobody in town has it.
I'm also thinking about a fold-down bed on the wall and a roof rack with ladder so we can use the trailer as a small dry camper rather than taking the super duty and (huge) toy hauler all the time. The bronco can tow this thing. Might be what we take to Alaska one of these years.

Alaska is a great trip......

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15443165

This is a thread when I had my 2015 F-350 DRW and towing a Raptor 42ft Toy Hauler. The "garage" was converted to a bedroom for Theresa.
The link takes ya to a point where we had entered Canada on the way to Alaska.

Up to 45 now. Might go out and do some mowing around where the storage garage was. Was going to do it yesterday but, the battery was dead on the mower. It's only 8 years old.
