Although if I would get rid of the big Jon Boat that’s hiding behind the trailers in the avatar, I could jack one more in there crossways. The building is 32 feet deep. As most know, we only had two for a little while in 2017. The New Holland TC40D Tractor sets next to the 21 right now. I am working on the other garage where it usually lives. That building had some derecho damage.
The Escape Garage escaped unscathed. As my son would say, “It’s all good”.

Dave you could still have a collection. Are you not planning to buy Jack and Nancy's 17? Then when they sell the 5.0TA to move into a 23 then you could buy that one too

Hi Adrian
I’m getting a little too old to start more collections. I just got over the castironitis disease that left me with 6 Dutch ovens 10 skillets of many sizes and a couple bean pots. I do have a convenient feature in my will where I can enumerate stuff on a piece of
Notebook paper. So I don’t worry about a frying pan-demic when I’m gone.
I could sell you some nice coon traps if you are in need.

Was that also used by the Sheriff in "Smoky and the Bandit"?

I remember it vaguely. Here's a clip from Cool Hand Luke:

Jackie Gleason's famous line had to do with "Germans vs germane" in S&TB

I think it was something along the lines of "what we are dealing with heah is a complete lack of respect for the law!" Or something like that.

Saw this story today: having the RV driven by a commercial company and flying to a US airport, then picking up the RV.

I am sure your health insurance company would love to deny you cover based on the fact that the boarder is closed...that is if you can even get into a hospital.
Buy some long johns, stay safe and stay home.

Hey Dave, do you have any coons for sale? I would like to talk one of them, a nice one (must be clean, somewhat fat), into sitting on top of my head, part time, just to keep me warm and snarl at Air Stream campers. Just for fun. Do you sell coons? Nice ones?

Can you train them not to poop on you, when you say?

Hi: sameo416... Here's a pic of a real reconstructed loophole!!! The bird waited till I went back to fetch my camera. Is he real? Alf

Hi: All... Look what I found!!! The border is still closed till Mar. 21 and probably will be for some time after that. We're running month to month!!!

No loophole here Alf. Despite my best laid plans to move into the basement while Beth had the upstairs to quarantine, the lovely public health lady at the border said no way, so I had to quickly pack up my clothes, etc. and move to my son's place before she got home. They said she could stay at my son's in isolation despite he and wife being both teachers and four children at home. But because I'm over 65 she and I cannot even be in the same house together even living apart. How does that make any sense?

[Iowa Dave]

Hi Adrian
The lovely public health lady obviously has ground up cheezies for brains. Down here in the states we’ve adopted quite a different philosophy. They took it from a line in the classic song by Countey Joe and the Fish in the Vietnam rag. “ Ain’t no time to wonder why, Whoopi we’re all gonna die”. I’d move off
Campus and rent a couple 150 lb propane cylinders, and a porta potty and use that 5.0 TA for a
Couple weeks. And that health lady has to sleep sometime. Glad I could help

Hi: All... The border is still an open/shut case. Anyone in a position of power won't say which it is. Be careful out there... " It ain't over till it's over"!!! Alf

I guess you’re right…Open if you want to come North after the first week of August but still closed to us Canucks should we want to venture South. Good news for anyone who wants to make the trip across the border to pick up their trailer.

[Rossue]

Yanks have since way way back taken possession on Suma, WA. This was to eliminate having to pay Canada taxes in the front end and going through the hassle later for a refund.

[gbaglo]

They were able to visit ETI for orientation and then follow their trailer to Sumas to take possession.

[Rossue]

Uh huh. ETI doesn't want to do their Orientations live for now either.
