  1. Currently Twist is parked outside the Cody, WY laundry. Crowds are lower this year and camp grounds are rarely full. Weather has been warm and windy. However, fishing has been good with more water in the streams than usual. Bill
  2. If you prefer, Service will send those to you without the decal. Bill
  3. Glad you are part of the Family now - WELCOME! Bill
  4. Have a great and safe July 4th everyone. We may have our "issues" but as far as I'm concerned - this is still the best there is. Bill
  5. There has just got to be an interesting story about the life of #266. I'd love to hear it. Bill
  6. New truck, new Ollie, and what looks to be a "new" garage - life is certainly good! Congrats! Enjoy the heck out of all of it. Bill
  7. The water pump ONLY runs on DC. I always carry a couple of milk jugs filled with water right near the toilet. That way I do not have to carry any water in my fresh water tank but still have more than enough to flush the toilet. This tactic also comes in handy when it is cold outside and I don't want to have water in the plumbing lines due to the possibility of freezing. Bill
  8. Mine wasn't so glamorous - I "ran away" from home and decided to sleep with my dog in the back yard in his dog house. I still don't know just how it was that I awoke the next morning in my own bed!
  9. Amazing what these "little" trailers can do! Sorry to hear about the axles. Hopefully "they" will get the situation taken care of soon so that you can get back to testing the limits. Nice pics! I didn't realize that Clam made a "red" one - thought that green and brown were the only colors even though they do make ice shelters in a number of colors. Bill
  10. Yet another use for canned air. Always carry a can of that stuff with me. Fridge, water heater, furnace can all use a "blast" every now and then. Bill
  11. Ham radio And - to dry his pants.☠️
  12. I bought some of these for my wife for Christmas. After a small amount of derision from her (she's the plant person and I'm the hole digger, mulch totter and all around grunt in this regard) she agreed to give them a try - they worked and worked well! Score one for the husband!πŸ₯° Bill
  13. Or, if you have a Harbor Freight close you might try one of THESE and save yourself a few bucks. Whatever you do - DO NOT test these things with your hand, foot or even someone else's body part. Don't ask me how I know this.πŸ€ͺ Bill
  14. Which is one of the reasons that you "settle" the entire transaction at your bank and have them verify that "bank check" prior to signing the title. However, the wire transfer is still the fastest, simplest and easiest way for settlement. Bill
  15. I've always insisted on a "bank to bank wire transfer of funds". These wire transfers can be and should be completed on the same day. I meet with the buyer at my bank and ask the tellers to confirm that the funds are in my account. We then have the North Carolina title transfer completed and notarized by a notary at the bank. I also always give the buyer a bill of sale. A "bank check" may also be used but the seller should always ask the tellers to confirm that the funds are indeed available and secured at the bank that issued the check prior to signing the title. Bill
  16. Sure am glad about that - given the "camo green" color of the pool noodle I'm sure you could miss it.😁
  17. Wow! That's some serious sticky pad coverage. At first I thought that you were trying to compete with Foy & Mirna for some kind of acoustic panels for enhanced decor of the ceiling.πŸ˜† Ever have one of those pads come loose during the night?
  18. Certainly you will know when they do move in!☠️🐧
  19. Good for you guys on being caring "foster parents". However - once they are out of the nest I'd be making sure that the nursery is closed. A cover like Patriot has will do that job nicely. Bill
  20. OK - so, now you two are "official" "card carrying" members of the Family! What took you soooooo long?πŸ˜€ Very nice and glad that basically you didn't have any "big" issues with the Ollie or the trip. Now, you can start on all those mods 😁. Thanks for the pics and report - nice job! Bill
  21. There are at least a couple of owners that have replaced the original with a porthole style access hatch. Hopefully they will chime in here. Bill
  22. Have you tried going to the Dura Faucet site (HERE) to download the owners manual? Bill
  23. Or - You can have a few brews and not really care about being clean.😁
  24. I have two rearview cameras. One is mounted in the spare tire cover and the other in the usual roof location. Patriot is correct when he mentions the "road spray" issue with the lower camera - other than that it is great. The roof location provides approximately the same view but, obviously the angle is slightly different. The roof location also gives the advantage of being able to see a fair number of vehicles back when stopped at a light or stop sign while the lower camera gets a good view of the guys license plate πŸ˜ƒ. Bill
  25. Nice! Just goes to show that with the right polisher - even a Tundra can be made to look good! πŸ˜‡- (I'm just kidding folks in case there was any doubt). Thanks for the pic, Bill Bill
