Retired and Happy (Ken)

I wonder if he had to get any special authorization of occupancy for that.  I think it is amazing and probably better built than many commercial 5ers.

Alice, It's a nice gesture, but the way the system works, it is highly unlikely a Fiend could grab your cancelled reservation.  When you cancel, your site and days go back into the pool for whoever is next for a reservation matching your setup....dates and/or site preference.  Like Nacole i am sorry you had to cancel.  It's never a good thing to have to cancel a Fort visit.  Hope you get back soon.

The Rams belong in LA.  The Colts in Baltimore.  Etc.

Welcome Mikepro.  Another for AU (EE-64), but married to a UA.  Raised in Montgomery (DW in Mobile) and we're now in Stone Mountain.  Hope you enjoy your stay at the Fort.  We won't be there until early December, but maybe we'll meet up someday.

680 The Fan commented yesterday on the FSU players from last year that are no longer there and predicted this season may not go as well as last year.  Here's hoping ours goes 13 seconds better than last year.  Cheer us on, TCD oldest DD.

I limit my rides to those that do not get more than three feet off the ground and don't go faster that Bob's GC.   :rofl2:   My chicken-out exit is the door to my MH.   :rofl3:

Nacole,  The Fiends have had a couple of Grand Gatherings at the Stone Mountain Campground.  What site number were you in?

Refresh my mind.  Can you RIDE on a ECV on a bus or is it verboten or the driver's choice?

What part of the building is that last one?

MB's.  Bah!  Our kids can't get their arms twisted to line up with the readers that work.  We wind up putting them in pocket or purse.  In fact I keep mine in my pocket until needed, but it's more troublesome than reaching for a card.

So Sorry for your loss.  We realize these 4-footed things are family members and it hurts to lose one.

Boy!  That crane is huge.  Hope it's well anchored.  And some folks around here leave their Chrisatmas lights up year-round, anyway.  But not hidden.

Hey!  COP is one our favorites and usually our first stop in the MK, ...even if it is a little dated in the newest scene.  I like the old sets, but maybe that's because I'm old, like them.    I think Lou is just too young to appreciate what we had back in the day.  And I'm trying to teach Shawnee to sing the song.  "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow..."  Now that the song is in your head....  enjoy.   :gaah:

I haven't cared for cats since our two black Siamese strays used our stove top for a litter box while i was at work.  They were as sneaky as the two in "Lady and the Tramp".  They would hang out in our rec room, then sneak up and jump on my back while i was working at my desk.

We have a daughter also waiting for a reservation in late December.  It is planned to be her first big trip in the MH she bought from us last summer.  We have a TA working on it, but so far with no results.

I have had Dish for quite a few years at home.  For a couple of years we took a home receiver out the the MH and used a portable antenna.  It got to be such a problem we quit and just used cable wherever we were (usually WDW).

We have a dish on the roof of our newer MH, but have not tried to use it yet.  i understand it was set for Direct and needs to be retuned for Dish.  Also I'm not sure it will work with our home receivers.

And yes, Nacole.  you will need an antenna to pick up the satellite signals and bring them into your receiver.

I don't think I could watch any more sports than Dish is providing...except for weekend Braves games, which are blacked out because of a contract dispute.  Oh well, it's college football season now, so what more could I want.

Hrumph.  Dollywood trams can take an ECV or wheelchair.

This is a good thread.  We have been using a manual wheelchair for Shawnee, but as he has grown and we have aged, we are considering a power chair for him.  He had one years ago, but his teachers didn't want to bother, so he never got proficient and went back to manual, which he is quite good at.  We will meet with his chair technician tomorrow on other chair matters and will ask if the power chair can be grown for him, or if we would need a new one.  We also have a six-wheel Jazzy that needs new batteries that might do for him.  Both chairs have joystick controls.  I'm expecting he would mostly need one when we travel, like WDW (long distances) and Dollywood.(hills).

Of course we might then need a larger trailer, but don't tell Judy yet.  hee-hee

If Aaron's picks are on target, I might have to pick FSU to beat Bama by say, 13 seconds.   :)

Hard choice considering my DW, but maybe Bama to win by 1 second?

Is that some kind of mall off 429?  Anything good there?

1600-1900 are the Full sites.  They are a little more distant from many activities, but with busses, golf carts, bikes, or occasional walking the activity areas and external bus/boat transportation can be accessed.  A main disadvantage is some sites are a long way from the single bus stop that serves all four loops.  And there are those who say watch for 1900 in the flood season. Enjoy.

And so it starts.  Vandy down.  USCe down.  A&M up all night.  Ole Miss up after a while.

We have a 10x10 canopy but no sides.  We have priced sides, but not moved on them yet.  Sides cost about what a canopy costs, and we have used the canopy as a garage for the GC.  Maybe a 10x20 canopy and forget the awning....

Off Topic:  It's enough to make a fellow a Bulldog fan.  I was just attacked by a horde of Yellow Jackets.  Got about 5 stings.  Accidently brought three in on my clothes and in my hair.  They are all dead now.  I was weed eating in the back yard when they came at me.  I guess they didn't want me to eat their weeds.  

I haven't flown since '95 and never will again.  Too much hassle.  But MANY people still do it.  If I can't get there in my MH, I don't need to go.

How much to attend a sneak peek at Lou's Ping Pong Ball?  Written that way, was Cinderella there?  Did Dave really show up?  Now THAT would have been worth whatever Lou charged.
