4Brians.....Todd

As far as preventing theft...we went to Lowe's and bought a cable with finished loops on both ends. If we leave it any where (like the bus stop out front) I loop it through the left front tire, and loop the other end through the steering wheel. Lock it on with a combination lock. Entire process takes about 15 seconds. Is it foolproof? Nope. But it will keep someone from simply using their own key and driving away. There are commercially sold locks and security systems, but they're pricey. We have about 20 bucks in our setup.

Hey! I'm in! Page 4...about average for me! I might be late, but at least I'm consistent!

Tell him we're way ahead of him. LOL

I'd be even further ahead if Crockett 's was still open ...

The family is back in the pavilion. Concert...any time now...

We dealt with that earlier. The kids wouldn't stop...and the parents were taking pictures. That's the maddest I've seen DW in a long time. She really lit into them. Apparently it was a temporary fix .

Boat schedule disrupted, part of the beach closed off, excess noise...I have no problem with any of this.

Crockett 's Tavern closing early??? Wait just a minute... Now you're impacting my vacation!!

The people-watching from the porch is just epic tonight! It's fun to just watch and listen.

Just noticed there are currently 59 people reading this thread...that's hilarious!!

The whole gang just headed out front. Looks like they're headed into Pioneer Hall. Private Hoop-De-Doo?

We have staked out the last picnic table on the porch...right by the arcade door. Anyone out and about stop by...there's room for more!

I'm thinking he probably had to no choice. Unless they tone it down, it's gonna be LOUD!

DW wants to see what's going on. Linda and I are headed out to see what we can find...

What is the official fiends meeting point? Obviously we have to be there for the concert...

Several different sites show Luke Bryan's next tour date as July 11th, so it's not out of the question that he could give a private performance tonight. BTW...tomorrow is Hannah's 10th birthday, and she is nuts about Luke Bryan. Think I can convince her that I set this up just for her?

So do we know who is throwing this shindig? Just curious. I know I couldn't afford it ...

We ran past your site earlier tonight. Looked like you weren't there, but after reading this, I guess you could have been sleeping!

That's exactly what they are. I talked to a CM watching the work from the dock about 2 hours ago. He knew they were placing anchors for fireworks barges, but he either didn't know for sure when they were scheduled, or he just wouldn't tell me!

I will be sure to check it out. My invite must be lost.

That's understandable. It's obviously stuck to mine somewhere. Fireworks are supposed to be at 11...what time should we head down?

Yes I do, and that prized info is safe with me.

That's really not fair. The rest of us can't time it...you're the only fiend with a sundial...

Unless something changes, we'll still be in 1913!

Now what?

Short version...we're good again. For the extended version, see the thread on surge protectors.

Can you PM me a phone number to give Linda. I'm heading out tomorrow. Thanks much!

You would need a 34750, the 50 amp version of the same unit.

The model Camping World has on sale is the exact one we use. That is a good price.

UPDATE #2....Surge Guard tech support says our surge protector did exactly what it is supposed to do, and depending on conditions it may take 30-60 minutes "off line" for the protector to reset. I told him I was concerned that the unit may now be compromised in some way. His explanation...if the unit is lighting, and showing a display on the LED screen, it is still functioning and providing protection. If the LED screen is blank, the unit is no good.

Seems simple enough. Surge Guard gets our endorsement!
