I like it because my new parkay floor is down and the kids and I are headed out for a long weekend camping. Oh yea and we will be having a pineapple upside down cake in the dutch oven. Everyone have safe travels. Robert

Well, I like ours because this morning I managed to reinstall the insulation box and bracket that surround the waste tank. And that after removing the two water drain valves (hot, cold lines) that were smack in the way for the new Thetford slide valve from Inland Andy and installing the new valve itself. (The two drain valves barely worked anyway, and we always use compressed air to evacuate water from the system, so the two valves were also superfluous.)

Tomorrow's the big test: Leaks nor not, both with the new slide valve and the two patched water lines. If no leaks, then ... reinstall the (now repaired) belly cover, figure out and repair the leak in one gray line, reinstall the new windows so they don't fall out again, fix the AC, and repaint in the front hitch/tongue area. Gosh durn, we may get to go on vacation this fall yet!

because Big Guy got me through the dust storms at Burning Man in fine style, not to mention all the other Burners who could squeeze into the air conditioned comfort of the bare front end (not to be confused with a lot of bare front ends out on the playa, of course) of a Sovereign!

But that's not all! The best ever was parking in Sego Canyon in the dark and turning on the scare light to behold....


Yes, the scare light was the total illumination.

You can see the perspective of where I parked, here.

Wow! Makes me want to travel out west. I have never been there. How Cool!

I like my Airstream because a Bambi is the best imaginable yard art, and useful too.

Zep, That is a great shot! Well done with available light.

I like the A/S because the new converter is in and appears to be working fine.

It is Thursday and I my Bambi! And I my hubby for finding the little leak we had under the sink! The overflow drain has a little leak! But the leak will soon to be no more.... Beverly Beach is only a few weeks!

See you out on the road!

It is Thursday, yip skips, and I LOVE my airstream because it, and my wagon, along with another buddy's car who's name is also Barry, was chosen by our car club as the cars on our annual club T shirt.

Our car club believes that hot rods are made to use and we go on an annual tour of a few days and several hundred miles, always on the back roads and stop in many of the small towns for gas, goodies, and tos support the locals. This year there will be 19 of us doing the tour. On this event no trailers given the tight timing and large number of us traveling together, but the good thing is that the Flying Cloud will be proudly there on everyones T-Shirts. See my avatar to see what's on the shirt.

I'm humbled they chose my car and then the Flying Cloud, to represent the club this year.

I guess they like it! Now that there's two Airstreams in the club I envision more to follow.

Our oldest daughter, who is an Interior Designer in Columbus, came up this week end and did a designe study for the ol' Sovereign. Fabrics, flooring, paint colors, furnature, everything. That reminded me of why I like, no, love my Airstream. It gives me a place to put all that money I had foolishly saved for retirement. Keep Smilin LJH

I could practice my bread baking hobby while boondocking! Something I would never do while tenting! I did give the dog a little bit, but it was purely good luck, a good recipe, and great help from others that made this turn out well!!
Thanks Ted for the advice about the parchment, it worked great with high temperature Pam. Thanks to all the dutch oven folks who gave great advice at the Metro D rally. Melody, I did try the pan de campo it was delicious!!

Having the Airstream was great cause I could bring all the gadgets, to weigh and measure, raise the dough in the microwave with just a bowl of hot water to bring the temp up, bake the bread in the dutch oven on the coals, and enjoy!! I used a 12 inch dutch oven to make it, usually this amount of dough I use for the 8 inch indoor dutch oven so I'll have to figure out how to adjust up to make it a bigger loaf...and I'd like to figure out how to make the crust more European(chewy) for the next boondocking adventure!!

[Sugarfoot]

Hey Tin Sista, that ain't no dog biscuit! YUM! Looks like your baking endeavors were successful.


It's Thursday, and I like my Airstream because today baby got new shoes . . . shiny red ones with BF Goodrich Commercial T/A soles. Many thanks to my good friends at Coker Tire who found ways to spice her up in spite of losing the wide whitewalls.

[CanoeStream]

Okay Steph -- You are one up on me. It looks karma-licious!

Hi Sista,

That’s a pretty nice looking loaf of bread. One trick for heavy crust, like on French Bread, is to put a pan of water on a lower oven shelf. The steam makes the heaver crust. In the Dutch Oven, you could put an inch or so in the bottom and put the bread in something like a pie pan raised above the water with spacers. Perhaps rings made from old tuna cans. An old restaurant owner taught me the crust trick.

It is/was Thursday and I love my Airstream because she took us to Topsail Hill Preserve for Labor Day and kept us luxuriously comfy for the entire weekend. (For those not familiar with Topsail Hill, it is rated as one of the top camp grounds in America and is the top state park in Florida, and is at the beach.)

We put out the awnings and put up the potable gazebo and all the big globe lights around both. I was a little afraid commercial aircraft might get confused and try to land on our campsite, though. We had our pink flamingo lights on the trailer awning and our Airstreams and cars lights on the gazebo. We got lots of looks as people rode by on their bi-cycles. And coincidences above all coincidences, the couple in the 5th wheel next to us was from Fayetteville, too! They were a great couple and very friendly. We also ate at Moosetag's favorite restaurant, the Red Bar. Even the park rangers couldn't recommend it enough.

We made it safe to and from without any damages or accidents to the Airstream and I always consider that to be a good trip considering my past record.

Because It's waiting for me to get a free weekend so we can run away.
