If you want, you can play with the chicken.

Is he related to Chicken Man that used to be on the radio back in the '70's? That dude was a hoot!

[Foiled Again]

Darn it I've done it again. There is an outfit in the western part of Virginia that restores and polishes vintage trailers - they have no web site. I thought I'd be able to find the posting again any time I wanted to... and even have a note hung on the wall AT WORK. Unfortunately I'm out and about with the laptop and have searched until my fingers are bloody.

They are near Lynchburg VA if my befuddled brain doesn't betray me. PLEASE someone who is better at searching find them for me.

Does anyone know if a Classic Motorhome has been polished up like a trailer?

[mistral blue]

I've heard you can do it to the pre-1982 Classics.

Ouch! That's so bright it hurt my eyes! The rig in the photo appears to be the same as my '84.

Thanks for the link.

After long consideration of mistral blue's avatar, I have narrowed it down to one of these:

1. The all seeing eye that can be seen on the back of the $1 bill,

2. A person in the water with theirs hands on their head; perhaps they are under arrest, or,

3 This is the scary one—Sauren's eye rotated 90˚.

I am not accustomed to identify New England with Mordor, although Mt. Washington might qualify, but who knows what powers might be at hand here.

Another interesting avatar—is N2XBW's avatar really RD-D2, or a Dalek disguised as RD-D2?

Ex-ter-min-ate!

Speaking of Avatars, Have you found the Gaucho in your Airstream?

Gaucho can refer to:

• Gaucho (Gaúcho in Portuguese, Cowboy in English), a word for a South American cattle herder.

Now depending on your gender and marital status this might be a welcome find, of course I would prefer a Goucha or Cowgirl, but neither was found in my Airstream.
I do keep looking though!

• Gauchos are a style of very flowing and loose fitting, flared pants with an elastic waistband, commonly worm by young dancers, but also worn casually.

Again, a young female dancer would have been a nice find. And while some old loose fitting garments were left behind by the previous owners, I think they fell into the category of bloomers.

• Gaucho, a trade name for the insecticide Imidacloprid.

There was an Ammonia aroma one night, but that turned out to be the refrigerator failing. I did find some cleaners under the sink like Ajax and bleach, but thankfully no Gaucho.

• Gaucho, an album by Steely Dan.

While I like Steely Dan, I'm not familiar with this particular album. It has not turned up in the rig.

• The UCSB Gauchos, name of sports teams of the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Clearly this would be pushing the GVW of my 28 foot Excella.
Just the mention of finding a sports team squatting in your Airstream, would undoubtedly, start the Airstream forum on a heated and passionate debate on axle replacement, loading and pre-loading, drum brakes vs disk, beefed up frames, tire pressure, and the 70's.
Of course an astute owner, just by looking at the angle of the torsion suspension, would know that a sports team was lurking in the coach.
Therefore, even if the University of California, Santa Barbara, Gauchos sports team were living in my 28 foot Excella, I'd PM someone first.

GMC Gaucho a mid 70's full-sized van model produced by General Motors
Nope, no 70's full size van was found in or around my rig.

• Gaúcho, a person born in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul
  • Gaúcho, a Brazilian football player.
  • Renato Gaúcho
  • Ronaldinho Gaúcho

No Portuguese speaking natives of Rio Grande do Sul, popped out of the under bed bins.

No football players fumbled with the wheel chocks.

Renato or Ronaldinho were not found, but a VCR tape of "Nothing but trouble" staring Chevy Chase was discovered wedged between the empty space next to the water heater.
Now, despite my best efforts, Gaucho has not shown up in my Airstream? What I have found is a sofa that folds out into a bed, but after sleeping on it for one night I did wake up a little Gracho?

So N2XBW, I really do like your Avatar!

...but "gaucho" is just so much more exotic than "couch"!
