  1. Although its been forecast for a few days now, it appears as though this "winter" storm that is coming across Colorado and the Midwest is something to be careful with. Hopefully everyone is aware and prepared, Good Luck and please be careful out there! Bill
  2. Almost the entire original Southern Cross album is good.
  3. Nice to have you here! I'd bet that since you must know something about the TN State Parks you also know of a few really nice "local" places to take that brand new Ollie. Let us know if we can help. Bill
  4. Yep - these "chain covers" are actually a mesh. Therefore, they are certainly not sealed from the elements. If your chain was rusting before putting these over the chains then they will still be rusting when you take the covers off (if you ever do that). However, you will not see that rust and the covers are easily cleaned with a strong stream of water and/or a light brush. Bill p.s. My cover don't look any different than they did the first day I installed them a couple of years ago.
  5. GJ- The Rock Tamers have a couple of "bolts" that are supposed to be used to both "lock" the Tamers in place and to help "level" everything. In my case, I had to install a couple of small shims in order to get it looking level with the rear bumper. There is absolutely no problem with the backup camera and the "zoom" feature still works great when hitching. However, the bars at the top of the Rock Tamers do interfere with the sensors in the bumper. This causes them to "sense" that I'm too close to something and they sound an "alert" whenever I put the truck into reverse. I could adjust these so that they would sit below the level of these sensors but I don't like the looks of them that way. So, I simply put up with the warning.
  6. But I still think about just how many IPA's or bottles of Kim that is just being burned.🤑
  7. Shame that Charlie is no longer with us. Hopefully the devil didn't get his due.
  8. What? No Keb Mo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KXjIE746_w&ab_channel=CountryMusicHallofFameandMuseum
  9. Yep. When I was there back in early September, Scott Oliver was in discussions with contractors as to how far this floor would extend - i.e. would the Service/delivery area get the same treatment or not. Bill
  10. Just wait until you meet some of us! 😇 Bill
  11. You might want to try giving the guys in Service a call. They have the materials (and knowhow) for these kinds of repair. Perhaps they can steer you in the right direction with the proper "color" of gelcoat repair material. Bill
  12. Stan - So sorry to hear about your loss(es). You might remember that Gunner was the first Oliver owning pup that we met as new Ollie owners. He was also a great help in keeping the armadillos at bay! Bill
  13. I've always used a cable that is just long enough to feed through both bottles and then down and around the frame. All of this is secured with a decent padlock. Certainly the cable could be cut with a hefty pair of cable cutters but the thief would first have to figure out that the bottles were locked down and then have to take the time to cut the cable or lock. Having said all this - I've never noticed any sign of tampering with anything around my Ollie to include the dog house. Bill
  14. Sorry you (too) had this issue. Any idea of how long it took you to resolve the problem? Bill
  15. Since I figured that I had nothing to lose - I simply listed the campground and dates I wanted and then sat back and let Wanderinglabs do the work for me. Frankly I was a bit surprised when I got an email from them saying that reservations had opened up and even more surprised when making the reservation worked exactly as they claimed. Bill p.s. The campground that I reserved is a National Forest Service campground north of Cody, WY.
  16. As I prepared and was planning my two month fly fishing trip to Wyoming for this summer, I found out that I could not get reservations in one of my favorite campgrounds. This particular campground had always been a bit of a problem in that it only has eight sites and only four of those are reserveable. A day or two later I found out about a "free" reservation service available at Wanderinglabs.com. I went to that site, opened an account, filled out a form stating the campground, camp site and the dates I wanted to reserve and then waited. This morning - some four weeks later - I received an email stating that reservations were now available for exactly what I wanted. I clicked on the link to Recreation.gov and got the site reserved. Simple as that! All without having to check back every day to see if something had become open. This service is free unless you want to pay for "premium service" (more frequent checking for openings) or if you want to "donate" because of the amount of time they saved you from having to do this checking yourself. Bill
  17. Pat - I started to recommend that you also post this over in Classifieds but then I saw that you already had completed that action. In both cases though, you might want to consider adjusting your phone number to make it more difficult for BOT's and Spammers to read it. Something like: five one 3 8 nine 1 5 one one 2 is an example. Bill p.s. good luck!
