I'll see what I can do...
Its not as much of a "room" issue as it is a "back/lifting" issue...
won't be long before I can get Jack to do all that stuff for me.
that gives me an idea..."hey jack: how many pieces of this wood do you think will fit in the back of the blue truck?? can you count them?"
{evil laugh}

yes, well...as fabulous an achievement as that was, the only physical strength required was that amount necessary to move the gear shift lever from "P" to "D"...followed by a speedy actuation of the O/D lockout button.
Don't worry...between the 3 of us, we'll manage to get a bushel of wood into the truck.
I'd say "send Brian over to load it up"...but um...that ain't gonna work, either!

No biggie. If you can do it, great, if not, we have others bringing wood.

Hey...no rudeness intended...
First I provided a wink...
Then there was a grin...
And lastly flowers!
No rudeness hidden in there!
Not sure what else I can do short of hugging you! But we all know that I don't "do" hugs!

So, Leon is out in the barn right now
Building his "Troubleshooting Electrical Circuits" demonstration thingie. He even explained how he was going to build it during our dinner tonight and I had to pretend I gave a rats a**.
Actually folks, if electrical stuff makes you nutty I recommend you attend Leon's seminar. He is really good with this kind of stuff.

OMG! I don't know if I should laugh or not! I can't believe you are saying this! Poor Leon! I hope he doesn't read the forum!
I am looking forward to a lesson in electrical circuitry! Thank you for asking him to do this!

Hey! What happened to the "Crockpot Bag Cooking" seminar?!? They had two of these sessions at last year's International Rally. Way too wicked funny.

Oh, I'd love to help with this seminar if Leon needs/wants any help that is... it's looking like i'll be securing the interior of the trailer as well as I can and should be able to make it out to the rally. See you all this weekend!

Great! I'll let Leon know you are up for this when he gets back into the house from the barn. Here's what he is planning to cover in case you would like to add additional content: - Troubleshooting Electrical Circuits using the Half-Splitting Method
- Airstream Electrical Supply / Tool Kit
I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress on your Airstream - your recent pictures are fantastic.
Oh, I'm also very interest in your TV reception setup. Wonder if this would work for our camper too?

I'm sorry to report that there is good news and bad news on this.
The bad news is the "wheel bearing man" is out on medical leave for the next 6-8 weeks so I had to cancel that seminar.
The good news is he told me to tell you that he will do a private wheel bearing seminar with your trailer after he gets better!

Check in and check out time
I just spoke with the campground and they are offering our group mega flexibility with check in and check out.
Normally, check in is 3 PM...we can arrive anytime after noon.
Normally, check out is 1 PM...we can stay for the afternoon on Sunday, if we like.
When arriving, there is no need to "check in" at the office. Instead, you can proceed directly to the safari field. I'm shooting to arrive around noon time so hopefully I will be there first to greet everyone!
With regards to campfires, each site has a pit for a fire. I have asked the campground if we could have a single pit centrally located. They are investigating the feasibility of this for me. <fingers crossed>
P.S.
If you happen to meet up with any of the campground owners during the weekend, be sure to thank them! They have been extra nice and flexible for us!
