Perhaps we begin a new Alumalina tradition....A Halloween Contest. Those that want to, decorate their rig and dress the part for Halloween, then we get the youngsters to vote on the best one..... Best costume, best rig.

Let the games begin.....

Folks,

Fair warning, Linda and I saw Sandpaper yesterday he hasn't taken last years halloween costume of yet.

Scary stuff.

Gary, have not seen a screen, and I think the regulator was removed long ago ( I beleive it used to, or originally was under the seat of the shower/behind counter ) Are you thinking, as I am, that there is a clog between the inlet by the bumper and the main plumbing? Very nice on the clear, my recipe maker had blueberry and chocolate strawberry last time, so good

[GCinSC2]

John,

Never messed with older trailers but a blockage between supply and distribution might be possible.

Is there any flow check valve that is designed to prevent water pump from pressurizing city water supply?

[lonewolf1977]

Can't wait to see (and meet) all of y'all!

Folks, I am going to lead a hike into a set of waterfalls in Pisgah National Forest on Friday morning, these falls are not on the map, so typically there are very few people up there. The walk in is about 3.5 miles. And the terrain can get rough, I'd rate this hike a moderate.

I can take probably 10 folks with me 6 in my vehicle and four in another, because the parking area is extremely limited (like four cars). The road up is mostly gravel. Having given you the bad, here's the good: This is an incredible hike, and the waterfalls are gorgeous. I'm going up on Friday morning, so if you'd like to come along, water and good hiking shoes are recommended, although I've done it in running shoes. If you're up for it, PM me and I will provide more details!

Thanks,
Dave

MPJ. Missed out on sampling yours at Springstream but I think Doug made up for that.😁 I will check it out this time.

[gypsydad]

We're considering attending now that I am retired...(kind of)...what is best way to get registered and info?

[Spartan55]

Hi John,
Janet and I will have to pass this fall. I have taken a bathroom remodel project in our 1955 Spartan and turned it into a major league project. Now replacing all of the subfloor in at least the rear 2/3’s of the trailer. Also replacing all of the 120v wiring from front to back. I will be happy if it’s back together by spring. Enjoy your gig at the Cove and as a distant aluminum cousin we hope to join your ever growing family reunions sometime in the near future.
SPARTAN55,
Mark and Janet

[mccrosti]

Mark, we will miss you an Janet and that fantastic old Spartan! Good luck with the bath resto!

So now I think I remember who MPJ is it's a little foggy, look forward to help with the plumbing for some rocket fuel.

I am in need of parts to my shower. The top rail is missing. Does anyone have a favorite place to get such things?

Secondfly I am going to bring some "local" beers from NJ for those who like mirco brews, so bring some too! And as always I'll have some NJ moonshine

I saw the Microbrew comment...perhaps we can get some interested folks to bring their favorite, local Microbrews, and have a judging contest? My son just opened a new Microbrewery in Austin..They are just starting to package for distribution. I will see if he will have cans ready to bring along...Hi Sign Brewing.

By the way, I had my freshwater inlet "tweeked" when I drove off with the hose attached few months ago just after I got it. I was able to take it off, and re-shape the brass fitting to the reducer and reconnect, but then AS sent me a whole new set up for free. Perhaps you can call them and see if they have one for your set up, assuming that is the issue?

[GCinSC2]

MPJ,

Water problem started after accident?

Copper pipe got kinked? But I don't even know if you have copper.

DougEW....Doug, you and Joanne are now anointed the Great Pumpkin and Pumpkinette. Set the bar, raise it high, get everyone ready for the Pumpkineers.

Lonewolf 1977....Denise, it will be very good to have you and Marcus back with us again after such a long absence. As you can probably tell, we have all gone down hill....fast. PS: don't forget the KK's.

McCrostie....Brother Dave, did they ever find that group you took hiking to those same waterfalls a couple of years back? Leave some bread crumbs this time.

Moparjohn...Hey there John, with enough of your home brews, we can fix anything. We will either cure it or kill it.

GC....You crack me up. Now the cat is out of the sack, my cover is blown, and everyone knows I am really Elvis, hiding out as Sandpaper. Thankya...thankya very much.

gypsydad...If this conversation has not scared you off, then consider yourself registered. Join the madness. Like your idea of the beer swap, we did it once before and was a bit hit. "Bring a Beer, Get a Beer''. You and Mopar set the time and place.

Spartan55....you have spoiled us with your fantastic Spartan. Hope your repairs go well and we see you next year.

EVERYONE....get ready, the time is nearly here......

The empty numbers are those that have let us know they cannot make it this time. My math says 226 still on the list. Please give it a look, check my math, and let me know of any changes that need to be made. It will soon be time to purchase provisions and an accurate head count is important.
