    Not to be predjudice of seniors or snowbirds, hell, they are my business, but it sucks for a lot of campgrounds in FL because they do cater to snowbirds and a lot to permanant residencies . When living in FL and you want to do a quick weekend trip, your choices are limited when it comes to so many of these types of places.  IMHO I think there should be campgrounds for people who want to just camp, not take residency at.  The lattace and Rubbermaid sheds, just don't do it for me. Along with my small kids swimming with everyone over the age of 70. I dont really care for the permanent stay people at the fort. After a while their sites start to turn into Sanford and son. Just my 2 cents

    I can tell you from first hand experience, that the Level Up six point hydraulic leveling system and a cordless 1/2 inch impact will allow you to change a tire and be back on the road in under 15 minutes.

    I agree with DIT- you probably are seeing the Milky Way.   I am envious of being able to see the stars.  That's one thing that stinks about where I live- we barely can see any stars.  And the Fort is worse.
     
    I am bothered by your hot dog grilling technique:
     

     
    Those dogs need to be turned the other way so they'll have proper grill marks.

    swimmarz reacted to twiceblessed....nacole in Vitamix   
    Update:   We went with the Vitamix.  We actually purchased both (both were on sale at Costco for the same price... the Blendtec did come with a couple extra gadgets for that price).  Our opinion is this...
     
    - Both are VERY loud
    - Both blend up frozen fruits and ice (we've only made smoothies thus far, so that was what we had to test) however, we think the Blendtec may have tackled it an ounce better.  This is actually the reason we went back and purchased the Blendtec as we were curious if it would blend better than the Vitamix (without having to use a tamper).
    - The Vitamix we purchased did not have the preset buttons, the Blendtec did (I did like those buttons, but did not want to pay extra for the Vitamix to have the option).
     
    So, why did we go with the Vitamix over the Blendec?  These two reasons...
     
    - The Vitamix has more solid feel to the construction.  Comparing the two, both the base and container of the Vitamix felt more solid/sturdy.  Even though both have comparable warranties, we just liked the feel of the Vitamix as a machine over the Blendec.
    - Main reason for us however, was the taste.  When making the same recipe in each machines, Tom and I both noticed that the Blendtec smoothie tasted more "fluffy" vs the "dense" taste of the Vitamix.  Not saying one is better than the other, just personal preference.  Had product from each machine tasted the same, the Blendtec would have edged ahead and we would have gone with that one. 
     
    So, there you have it.  One Fiends review of both the Vitamix and the Blendtec  :)
     
    Happy Blending!!

    Swim,  Glad to hear you had the foresight to position your property 3500 feet from a potential tornado end point.

    swimmarz got a reaction from Avatab.... Steve in Fort fail....   
    so let me get this clear, they assign you a site, you try to use it and the people in the next site say no?!?!?!
     
    you are a better man that I am, I would have set up and had a beer, you bring up a valid point that my young mind overlooks till after the fact, that you then have to deal with them for the remainder of their stay.
    I think you made the best decision for you, and for that I thank you for the life lesson....

    On my ford I actually did get the thousand miles on it before I towed anything. But it wouldn't have stopped me if I had a trip planned. And the reason why, no company puts a thousand miles on it before they tow the truck goes straight to work.

    I haven't seen a breakin period on a vehicle since our 1974 Spitfire.
     
    That manual told us to keep it below 55 for the first 500 miles and to vary the speed/rpms.
     
    Looks like 2 different sets of recommendations, the 500 is for general use, then the 1000 is to get everything settled in before hauling around a heavy load.

    Nope not already flashed. I don't know why other than Ford doesn't want an aftermarket controller to be able to be plug and play taking away their sales of integrated controllers.
     
    We were in the same spot on color. I'm not very picky as long as it's not red, yellow or other bright color. Looking around Magnetic seemed to be the color of choice for dealers. It's OK and my wife finally got some satisfaction. When we were much younger and newly married she had this idea that matching sweaters would be so romantic and cute. I managed to avoid that but here we are years later with color coordinated cars, her's is the same color, which she lets me know each time we pull into the driveway.
