I need to re-hitch my WDH anyways since I got a new tow vehicle. It's bound to sit a bit different because it's taller.

Here's a night shot.


2018 F150 - I like the grill better than the one on my '16, but not enough to pay for a newer one.
Red again?

Nope. Nephew wanted his uncles Red F150 when he was ready to trade it.
(All the kids have my previous trucks)
And YOU know I'm a white truck guy. Right?

Here's the new Beast. Putting down 440HP to the ground. 500 torque.
Ryan Brown is building me a longblock right now and we're aiming for a daily drivable 600ish
Sinking enough into it that the kids can't afford it, even at trade in. Maybe I'll get to keep one for a while?
They all LOVE the stereo systems that I LOSE every time. :)

Snake - Pulling the Wolf Pup with that beast is like using a Ferrari to deliver pizzas. ;D Nice looking truck!


While we're showing new toys, here is mine. It is an Italian beauty that left the dealer licensed for the road in my state. At 216 pounds, she is a lot easier to pick-up than the S10.

Ok
Something didn't look right for the 125.
Snake I would say nice truck! But if you know me, I've never seen a nice cage.
If it's not a bike I just don't care.

You're much more open minded than me. If it's not a dirt capable bike, or maybe a modern touring bike, I just don't care. There's a lot of bikes I couldn't give a crap about.

Not that I drive around lousy cages...my wife care a lot about them. She would LOVE Snake's new truck...and his old truck.

I'm really not open mined about bikes.
No cruiser losers are the least bit interesting to me.
A MX bike must be a 2stroke or it's a loser!
ADV bikes are the only street bikes I like.
When my wife is with me and says something about a car, She says "you never notice cars do you?" I say only as a enemy!

Love the new truck, even without the 600 hp. And I've always been partial to white. Here's my camper.

My eyes deceive me, but your front tire is huge compared to the rear. :)

Yep, that's a truck with a mission. I know you. You plan and analyze every aspect!

Snake a question on your pup. Did your furnace/heater trip the smoke detector the first couple times you used it?

When I picked it up they had the water tanks all full and checked all the plumbing. They drained but did not blow or winterize it. Been warm enough I did not care, but low a few days ago and tonight 26-27 so I turned the heat on low. Both times set off the smoke but not the co2 alarm.

Lol.

No TP holder cuz that's a wet-bath. And mastering the technique of showering is a lesson in take-your-time.
If there's showers in the campground, I don't use that bathroom much.

I'm tempted to swap the toilet for a low-boy porcelain like in my REAL RV. :)
Also, the shower pan feels a little soft under my feet. I might tear it apart and build a legite shower pan floor support.

Never turned on my furnace. Never even turned on the propane. Ripped the cooktop out the first day. That countertop is my bedside table now.
Computers and books and stuff like that.

I cook outside.

I suspect the assembly oil or coating has to burn off before it quits smoking?
Take the battery outta that detector for a while?

While I still like you, as you drank my scotch last year when I could not be there, you are absolutely no help!

Re: Toy Hauler

You make me laugh. A deep belly laugh. The healing kind. My eyes water even.

So I'll let ya in on a secret.
On the outside of the bathroom door I have one of those full length multi-row of pockets hanging thing from Walmart. On the inside of the door I hung an over-the-door multi towel hook thingy.

That multipocket drape holds EVERYTHING.
It's amazing. You get to where you've memorized what's in each pocket.

Toilet paper roll is in one of the pockets outside when showering. But gets transferred to the inside on a towel hook thingy at the appropriate time. ;)

And my Espresso bar and counter top without cook top.

Next one. Went to put TP in the bathroom. There is no holder. What did you do?

My wife struggled with this one also. She bought an over the door towel hanger that also accommodates TP. However, the first time you take a shower and forget to move the TP, you have a problem. It is not ideal. ::025::


As for scotch, this is my go to.
