  1. I guess Chevy won out over the Galaxy 500's they had in these pics lol. Looks like Roy had an entourage of them lol.
  2. Very nice Michael. I guess you're breathing lots of new truck and camper smell.
  3. One thing I've noticed is rv manufacturers put on the bare minimum tire they can. I upgraded from a 15" rim to a 16" rim and a 235/80/16 tire. Even fully inflated the 15's always had a sag on the sidewalls. I suspect they had this sag due to being too small for the camper. With the new tires the sidewalls have none and I notice it pulls much better. Once the sidewall get's hot you may as well forget it. Not saying bigger is better but I'd rather be over rated than under.
  4. My Duramax is fixing to turn 370k miles soon. I've just thrown Rotella every 5k it's whole life and it's done pretty well. Fixing to put round 3 of injectors in which sucks but I see no reason to get rid of it when it's still performing well. One thing that I've never liked about Ford is the amount of oil they use but I guess in reality the more oil it holds the less it gets used during the duration of service.
  5. I've posted this on Facebook before. Not sure if anyone here has seen it. For some reason when I watch it I always want to go up in the attic and put on a fur coat and a ladies turban and pretend it's 8mm. My deepest apologies to those who don't know what an 8mm is. It's not a gun lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvvaVf1fB2g
  6. Gotcha. Now I know where it's at. I wish they still did the bus to the Studios there.
  7. Do you mean the bldg. with the sun on the roof way back or the one where they're standing? Is this the area near the horse shoeing area? I wish I had a time machine to go back and see stuff even though I was there in the 70's I can't remember a lot. One thing I do remember was I was with my uncle and his wife when I went and they were newlyweds and when we passed by Trails End I saw all the people standing out waiting to be seated and thought wow those people must be rich because my uncle said we couldn't eat there because it was too much money.
  8. I swear I think anything I like they take it away. I hope she shows up somewhere else. I remember her saying she also had a gig at the Grand. I'll be looking into this.
  9. I'm gonna agree the Pete's Dragon dude is creepier than anything I've ever seen at Disney. I would've said something about the Fish N Chips. I told a waitress recently who disappeared that if she wanted a TIP she better not go away again like she's done with us. My daughter and I like the animation academy. I'm not a good artist at all but it's fun and there is a guy who leads it that I enjoy doing his class. The hat lady is a blast. I like going to R and C for a couple Guiness' and listen to her. Great report and congrats on the baby,
  10. I didn't know the river bed of the steam boat was all concrete. I did in the Jungle Cruise because you can see it. I wonder how many cracks are in it if any? The HM pic is very cool. What's weird is the actual ride seems to mostly be in the white building behind and there doesm't seem to be much in the mansion itself except maybe the expanding room.
  11. I second the Weber Q. I saw a few friends had one and had some meals from them and ended up with the 100 Model. Meat is always moist. I'm wanting to try some chips in it for bbq'ing one day.
  12. TCD, this report is bittersweet. I know it's time to let the girls go. You and I share a lot of the same things even though I only have one. It's even hard watching MrsGus' kids grow up because when I met them they were snaggle tooth little kids, now they're driving me around Charleston this past weekend lol. Ok, the new chapter begins we can't stop time but I sure would like to.
  13. I have wasted hours and hours researching rv.net, bought a swivelwheel I never installed and still never resolved it. No matter what anybody says it's illiegal. I just talked to an FHP officer a few weeks ago. The money to properly install a hitch to pull a trailer and a camera to see the cart you will be better off renting. If you don't get caught by LEO but you were to wreck your insurance would possibly ne off the hook if it's your fault. Even if you install a swivel wheel it adds a ton of swing length behind the axle and you might put it in another lane and get hit. All I can say is they
  14. Another place that's kinda far so might not save anything is Spirit of the Suwannee in Live Oak. It's huge and has a lot of ammenities.
  15. I think that's the model Stepha70 has. Send her a pm as she is on hiatus for a while and she can let you know details.
  16. I've seen them go for $500 many many times. Wish I bought the whole dam lot of them years ago lol.
  17. Norm, the dog story is great. My daughter and I recently got a Chihuahua and even though most make fun of me on here about her life goes on and she has a loving home. I too love 900 loop (911 to be exact). Before it became a premium loop we always stayed in there. Now 1700 is our loop so before you go beatin up on it lol take her easy. The bridge and that walking trail is cool. I need to remember to enjoy that next trip.
  18. I thought TCD should be alerted to these old plans. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-World-Ft-Wilderness-Tri-Circle-D-Ranch-Blacksmith-Shop-Blueprints-/290906895759?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43bb66f58f
  19. I remember visiting Stars Hall of Fame in the 70's. The building is still there but don't think it's anything to do with amusement biz anymore. They had some cool people in there. Very lifelike. When I was a kid I thought Disney was so magic that it brought back all those dead presidents. I went to the HOP a couple weeks ago and thought about when I first went in the early 70's and the cool stuff they had. I miss some of that.
  20. The reason they chopped all the foliage out was those potato vines. They were choking out the larger ttees.
