OK, long shot, how about a lesson on fixing a sprung door? My 73 Tradewind is not tight where the door meets the sides top or bottom. John

Most '73's have a cast aluminum door. Chances are, if it's sprung, it's broken.
I can still show people with a '74 and newer trailer how to bend their doors back into submission. All it takes is two people and a 2x4.

Speaking of bending, Terry, the latch on the screen door is very tight and you have to push on the door to get it to latch. It has been adjusted as far as possible. Is there a good solution.

I'll see what I can do with it.

Looking forward to jewelry making! While guys are listening to tech stuff us gals can be having fun. I'm sure Rita will help!

[sandlapper]

Thanks Jon, your gas sniffer would be a wonderful asset to the rally. I have been to WBCCI rallys where the safety chairman went trailer to trailer with one, checking the tanks. Some pass, some fail.

And thank you Terry for leading the way with the "5 minute tech tips". For those than don't already know, Terry works in parts and service at Out of Doors Mart. Unfortunately, due to prior commitments, he and Marie must leave early afternoon on Saturday, so catch him early.

Thanks ,too, Cynthia for the jewelry making offer. We have at least one other jewelry maker coming, perhaps it could be a joint affair. A good thing for the ladies while the men folk talk shop. And yep, Rita LOVES making jewelry, all ya need to do is invite her.

Thanks also for all the tents, tables, and equipment. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but regardless, it will be good to have them set up in the group area. A rough guess puts the crowd at as many as 150 people.

A quick recap:
Thursday nite hot dog feast for anyone there. We have the dogs, buns, chili, slaw, chips, and condiments covered, thanks to various folks coming. Anything else is welcome.

No plans for Fri am/ lunch.

Fri nite is possum bog. Anything goes with it.

Sat am --potluck breakfast, anything to share. We have coffee.

Sat lunch---own your own. Catch a nap, get ready for a great afternoon.

Sat nite .....the fish fry. We have the fish(fillets), shrimp,devil crab, FF, HP. deserts would be nice.

Sun am.....left overs, anything easy. We have the coffee.



Thanks in advance to everyone for chipping in to make this a great event.

Definitely, making it a joint effort is great, that will make it even more fun.. And I am always up for learning from others to. Since I know there is some interest I will be bringing sea glass, beads and wire, plenty to share.

Sign me up for this seminar. I'll even bring the door.

It looks like French Fries on the Saturday fish fry, I'll cook the salt potatos on Friday night. If there are any left, They'll make good hash browns on Saturday.

Hi John

I have reset my door after it opened twice at road speed. If you don't get help look me up when you get back I still have the form.

[Safari Streamer]

add sour kraut to the hot dogs!!

[GCinSC2]

It takes a "Ski" type to think of adding Kraut to dogs, but shouldn't it be Kielbasa?

I married a Ski so I get to poke a bit of fun at my Ski.

John, We're loading up for doing pancakes again for Sat AM.

Gary

[Safari Streamer]

Kapoosta- what "Ski" calls sauerkraut.
Looking forward to those pancakes. They were yummy last time!

[GCinSC2]

Kathy,

Babcia says your Kapoosta is just cabbage.

Got a new toy to make pancakes on
Still over a wood fire.

I will bring some wire and pieces of sea glass with me or better yet bring a piece you've found that will be more personal. If interested please advise so I know how many supplies I need to bring.
If you would like to see some examples you can go to my facebook page Island Tides Sea Glass. If anyone has any hand tools for jewelry making that they can bring it would be appreciated. See you soon. Cynthia

I would love to learn how to make the sea glass jewelry, count me in, please. I don't have any sea glass though. Thanks!

[Big Hooter]

StreamInn -Cynthia, My wife (Anne) has been reading the thread and would like to join your class on Sea Glass. She has some tools that she will bring along.

This will allow her to have some free time rather than trying to keep me out of trouble? If King Possum needs more food (road kill) for dinner, I will be busy flying up and down the back roads gathering food. We are looking forward to this spring Alumalina.

Have a great evening and day.
Big Hooter, we give a hoot.
