The herd is shrinking

Wow, it is amazing sometimes how a conversation can turn into a hope then a reality. New (NEU) members can become ole friends so quickly.
Formerly known as TB (Toasty's Brother) has new parents. Thatismytruck and family just hit the road after spending a day and night "checking" the rig out.

Wow! Thatismytruck and family has put some major work into their 1972 22' Argosy. I'm wicked surprised to hear it will be up for sale.

BUT, then again it will be fantastic for them to have the extra room provided by the new Airistream.

HEY! Does this mean I can purchase the Argosy flag from you?

We just needed more room. And now that we have the new TV we could move up. the Balgrn family was soo persuasive, and this unit was so well maintained and decorated that we could not pass it up.

flag to the highest bidder. I should somehow come up with a way to auction it in the Argosy Trailer section.

Please excuse my ignorance but what (aside from the obvious) is an "Argosy Flag"?

Pretty much what the term says:

MBB wants it really badly. Several Argosy owners have mentioned their envy that old dealer flag. They are apparently kind of rare. It looks good flying too:

Pics of the new trailer at home.

(I can only attribute the blueish hue to it being dawn.)









Toastie's Brother seems quite happy here. The neighbor's and my co-workers think I am crazy.

he won't be alone for long. In fact, he needs an Argosy 22 to tow. I happen to know where you can get a nice one.

I just received my new water heater. I will try and continue the Balrgn tradition of posting install photos.
