I delivered the camper and left it in the driveway. Brought wire/amp charts and calculated wire size needed from panel. The other stepson is an electrician and they will take his word for the job....

I went to Brother-in-law's house yesterday to see where I'd be parking the camper. Got to talking with the stepson. Found out that he had 150 ft of 12 gauge extension cord powering the burnt camper....

I bought this used 1998 camper in 2011 for $4,000. Have made repairs and yearly maintenance. Last time using it once for a 2 night stay in 2022. Have talked about selling it lately since we didn't...

I helped with Desoto County clean-up/recycle day. Carried the 2nd load of recyclables to the center at 2:15. The 1 square container wasn't big enough so large items were set to the side.
The wind is...

Where and how long will you be staying?

I got it all installed, waiting on delivery of pad eyes.

The lakes didn't get much of the overnight rain. I recorded the MVK on my calendar at 6 pm. This morning at 8 am Sardis is up .14", Enid .20" and Nader 0.0. Now to watch what runoff they get, plus...

Happy birthday.

Direction and wind speed can differ a lot while on the water. A 5 mph wind from 1 direction can be a light ripple where from another direction it has white caps.

My trolling motor doesn't hang to deep behind my kayak. I fish some thin waters and it will hang up in mud and rocks. I want to rig it to tilt forward so it's out of the water. I looked at a few...

Find some auction houses in your area. Never know what a vendor will have. Know the prices of items before bidding/buying. I've got some great deals at the ones in north MS. Some have facebook groups...

I got on the lake one day and found my trolling motor wouldn't work. On the side of the foot peddle is a switch, forward/reverse, first speed only. I removed the peddle from the base and found the...

We were at Torrence Monday. Had to turn around before the last right hand curve due to water across the road. We drove toward Kirkman. Turned around, didn't want to drive thru the large pothole.
I...

I see that the platform and motor mount would be easy DIY but check prices before buying. Sometimes a kit is cheaper.
The mount looks to be metal. I used Dollar Tree cutting board for mine on a...

Thanks for the Lakes Online link.
Now another one to keep up with.

We've had a lot of rain this year, just not heavy or long rains.

To keep my thoughts off of the tooth I reloaded 1,000 38spl's. Ready for range time. Not Easter weekend, both sons have to work.

Got it pulled today. While the gum is healing I'll load some ammo to ease the pain.

I got up at 5:30, turned the coffee pot on and heard the wind chimes out the kitchen window. They ring with a 7 mph wind out of the N or SSW. Sat down at the computer and could the wind chimes out...

This started about 35 years ago.
A tree was cut down at the end of mom's garden that left a 10" diameter stump. The stump was 85 yards from the tractor shed at the barn. I laid out extension cords...

Gulp, at their prices for a short rod.
