    I had a skid house I was going to buy my son in law talked me out of it he wants to go in on a wheel house, thing is I am too cheap to be spending $10,000 on something that gets used for 4 months out of the year. Well I think found the perfect one for this grumpy old man IMG_3471.jpg

    Sota, I remember as a kid that those trailers and some smaller were actually towed by the family car. Now they rival a Fifth Avenue penthouse. Saw one motor home on TV that cost $5 million. For that kind of money, I could stay in Five Star hotels and get room service.

    Scary thing a 75 year old with no experience can go to a dealer buy a 40' RV and drive it away, no CDL no training just a regular drivers license.

    Actually, evaporation is a purification process and the salt is left behind. Think tea kettle bottoms. This is how we distill water and booze, and how Salt lake became salty. Pollution in rain or snow is from the atmosphere, like acid rain components.

    Beautiful warm Friday, going to leave work at noon. Once I get 10 miles off the interstate I will take the back roads drive home pop a top and do a pheasant survey of the area.

    So went and saw the trailer. It is actually an old Hurters duck camper. There is a big back door you stuffed the boat in, take the boat out and you had a simple camper. I bought it I am picking it up next weekend. Pretty excited to have a project.

    I don't name boats but the fish house will be named and have a sign displaying it. Turd Blossom.

    I also used my years of experience to soften my wife's stance, yes ultimately it will end up costing me more $ but she will be involved in picking out the materials for the interior, colors etc and scheme. It will be real nice.

    Look at the bright side you don't have to shovel a mud puddle.
