Getting ready for season
Hi everyone
I just dragged my trailer out of storage last weekend and getting ready for first camping hopefully in May. I did some research and pulled up a number of great outfitting checklists from all the regular posters on this site and devised one that works for me, it is attached. Please tell me what I missed before I give it to my lady. I did it in Word which works better for me. If anyone wants the word file PM me.
Hugh
Still snowing in Calgary. And our hockey team sucks.

We haven't had snow on this end of town since last Saturday. It is gorgeous out right now. Calgary Flames are a great team (just having a bit of bad luck). The game just started and I will be a watchin' it. GO FLAMES GO!

Well, we got down to 65 last night for a low. Frigid!

Well Robert that's a lot better than our one overnight in San Antonio, down to 34 with high winds, mind you it was March!
We've not had snow for a long time, but the warm weather just won't come and stay, Sat. night calling for minus 9C. I'm trying to get trailer ready to leave May 3 but still cannot dewinterize yet

Sadly, that will have to wait for next year Ian. I am headed to the Bluebonnet rally tomorrow, then back to work after a long period of time off.

Sorry to hear your season is so long! I just completed my 4th camping trip of the year! I'm in the mountains of Western North Carolina and we've seen a winter/spring of ups & downs in temperature. I'm glad that I put the 3 way valve in for winterizing as I'm able to take advantage of the short bouts of warm weather and then winterize again to prevent damage to plumbing of trailer.

At least the Flames and Oilers made it into the playoffs. The Stars didn't even do that.. But there is always next year!

The Flames exited pretty quick unfortunately. It will be a tough bullet for me to bite, but I might have to cheer for the Oilers now, heaven forbid. Hopefully Ottawa pulls through, I would much rather cheer for them.

Five Canadian teams making it into the post season, is the most I can remember! I'm really glad to see that. Unfortunately I think they have a financial disadvantage when compared to the US teams.
Oops, I don't think this is a thread about hockey.

Use to live a couple of blocks from Mario Lemieux when they won the cup and it got damaged in his pool. Penguins all the way!

Sure it's about hockey! After all getting ready for the camping season is all about watching the playoffs in between working on the trailer, isn't it
Looks like the Canadian teams (except the Oilers) are out or maybe on their way out of continuing in the playoffs

So much for a home game, get to join you on the sidelines.
