You know I have been remiss about posting pictures on my journal for the simple reason....I don't post enough. Well being on the road working and spending more time than a person should wondering the highways in north Texas and Louisiana I just have not taken any pictures to upload. Well that has all changed now that I have been at home for a while and enjoyed some time there.
We are now spending some time in a COE park that we love and I have taken some pictures.
We have had an interesting time off this past week. One that I would not wish on any soul out there. We have a way of turning it all into a good story to be told around the campfire. What is so unique about our stories is that they are all true. I guess I have enough material to be a stand up comic but then I would not be out on the road having fun!
This morning I will be putting on my new tailgate that I purchased at Camping World. I got the 5th wheel tailgate that allows you to keep the gate up while you load your RV. This should be a good story to relay to all you Want-to-be-Mechanics out there. The Speedster is about to take on the tailgate installation instructions with pictures provided by a 12 year old Dyslectic Korean boy.
Stand back and take young children inside. The following could turn ugly and I don't want anyone shocked...
Step 1: Open box with pocket knife.
Step 2: Get antiseptic ointment and bandage for cut on thumb
Step 3: Clean the blood off the instructions so you can read step 4.
Step 4: Inventory all parts and make sure they are there. Compare parts to picture provided on page 2 of instructions. Some pictures may not be legible due to low res printer...and blood from cut thumb.
Step 5: Make sure you have proper tools available to complete project. Also a College degree in engineering could be of some help.
Step 6: Install tailgate in the area that the old tailgate use to occupy.
Step 7: Check installation by burning rubber out of the driveway. If the tailgate stays on you have done a good job. If not go back to step 6.
Got a new rug for the patio. Pictures attached. We love our patio no mater where it is. The picture above is that of our patio at the COE park. Early morning and late evening we have plenty of shade and really enjoy setting out side. We listen to music and watch TV on our outdoor entertainment center. Coffee just taste better outside in the morning with the birds chirping all around you. This will be our biggest entertainment...the patio and the backyard...where ever it might be...

Ha! Sounds just like my DH. Within minutes of any project, I'm running to him with bandages and antiseptic ointment....LOL! Nice pics...looks very relaxing!
I so agree with your belief about a patio - and having coffee out there. We have our coffee outside every morning; we enjoy watching the hummingbirds fight over the feeder, the chipmunks dart around, and depending on where we are, the other wildlife. At Ridgway earlier this month there was a doe and fawn who crossed the field in front of us about 25 yards away every single morning. At Warner Lake (in Utah) there's a small herd of deer who go by daily. Having a patio is indeed a delight.
Good plan getting the RV tailgate. That was our plan too since our tailgate already has a smiley face! However, now we're just going to sell the truck and let the next person worry about it!
I'm so glad you didn't lose a finger. We have thought about that type of tailgate.
We haven't sat outside yet for coffee, never thought about it. Too many bgs and heat this time of year.
Love the new tailgate!
I still put the tailgate down when hooking and unhooking - new tailgate has dents in it to prove that this is necessary.
Take care old buddy, been hearing some interesting tales about your adventures.
We're enjoying Mark and Dortha's company. Wish you and Sheri were here as well.
