The Class-less Class

[Lavinmh]

Last year in Florida we did Thanksgiving at Cracker Barrel with Lynn and Roger. Great meal for the price too.

Since we will be working for at least 1/2 a day on Thanksgiving, we are heading to Cracker Barrel this year.

[Roger & Lynn]

Lotsa casinos just up the road in Laughlin. Think we'll go window shopping for T-Day menus tomorrow. Looking for fricassee of pack rat!

Roger

They are having a Thanksgiving dinner at our RV park and the park is supplying the turkey. Everyone else is bringing side dishes and desserts. We are parked about 50' from the building where it is taking place so I guess we can mosey over there. They are having an RV show tomorrow, but I don't know what they are showing. We put the for sale sign on ours today, so maybe if anyone knows there is an RV show they'll come and look. I'll have to drag out the balloons and the checkered "car salesman pants" and see what I can do. We haven't quite finished cleaning it up, but after the wind today nothing around here is too clean so it shouldn't look too bad. I just remembered I had my Roadmaster Sterling hitch on the back of the old one and changed it out a while ago. Now I have to remember to add those keys to my new keys to prevent the present keys to make a problem with the old keys. Keying in on that problem, I think the key to the whole thing is keeping your keys correctly coordinated. Damn it now that tired me out so I'm going to take a Steve ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[IYQ]

Steve....Steve....WAKE UP, your snoring again. And stop monKEYing with you KEYS.

 

It was a nice day today, all be it a little cool. We held happy hour in the rec hall with the wood stove blasting out the heat. Nobody complained. I've been eating out a little to much and my blood pressure is getting way to high from all the salt hidden in restaurant food. One of my cow girls is frying up about 4 lbs of hamburger with onions and no salt for me. She puts it in 4 plastic containers so I can freeze most of it and use one container in the frig to add to my microwaved veggies. I hope she gets here with it before my belly thinks my throat is slit. Other than taking her to Wally World today I haven't done a blame thing today. Ain't RV life great.

Was in Port Mansfield today. 23 miles due east of Raymondville Tx. Right along the bay. The place is infested with deer and turkeys. Cheap t-day dinner here. Just step out the back door and "POW"

Gobler and venision. The deer are all tame and looking for a hand out. The locals say the bucks get a little crazy during "Rut". which is going on right now! The local café had to build a fence around the outside dining area to keep one of the big bucks out. I estimate we saw about 200 to 300 deer in everyone's yards. Neat experience. We will leave here around the 8th of Dec and head for Laughlin Air Force base. Need to renew the wifes ID card. Will stay on base at the fam-camp there. Then on to "Q". Looking forward to the education I'm going to get while there. Gonna be looking for some of you while there. Have a very nice Thankgiving everyone!! Eyeball to eyeball in "Q".

I'm headed solo in my Lance truck camper down through Deming and over to SE Arizona and maybe Yuma/Quartzite/Huavsu over the long Thanksgiving weekend. [My wife is back East for the holiday] Any suggestions where to stay for 3 - 4 days?

Welcome to the "Classless" forum Rick! We'll be in Laughlin, NV till the 1st and then two weeks at Lake Havasu State Park. Come on up and grab a site if you're in the neighborhood! Two good web sites that we use are: http://www.allstays.com/Campgrounds/ and http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ for locating but, perhaps some of the others could point you to some good places?

BTW gang...I worked with Rick in Iowa City for 20 years. Last time I saw him was about '98. He recently got a hold of me...I can vouch that he's a great guy and doesn't pee too close to the house...LOL!

Rick, I'm in Deming at the Low High RV Ranch which is the international headquarters for Loners on Wheels RV club. Deming has a lot of RV parks but most of them are on the main drag (Pine St.) and get a lot of I-10 and railroad noise. Low-Hi RV ranch is 4 miles south of town at the corner of Country Club and O'Kelley Rd. SE. It's well kept and very quiet at night. We are open to the public and give Passport America, Escapee's 50 percent and a few other discounts. We have Full hookup sites, Electric and water only sites, Dry camp sites. a dump station, Laundry, Rec Hall, Bunk house (Happy Hour and morning coffee, hot showers and you name it. I'm in space 12 if you should come here look me up. To get here from I-10 coming from the east, take the first exit (85). That will put you on Pine Street. Go west on Pine to the first traffic light and turn south (left) on Country Club. Go 4 miles South to O'Kelly Rd SE. Turn West (right) and the first drive on the right will put you infront of our office. If you want to put it in your GPS use 1795 O'Kelley Rd SE for the address. If you don't act as bad as Roger I'll take you to diner and we'll talk about him. My name is Lee Horning tell them at the office you come to visit me (No, on second though they might run you off if you tell them that.)

I ate breakfast in town this morning then called my bank back east and started the process of closing all my accounts there. I then got my safety deposit keys packaged and went back to town to mail them. When in town I went past Jimmy's to check on my little trailer they are coming along nice but have to modify the new electric levelers a bit to get them to fit the frame on the little trailer. They also are putting a door on the outside to access the storage bins under the dinette seats. They ordered two doors and only got one in. I told them to go ahead and mount that one and keep trying to get the other door to mount later. Otherwise the trailer would have no outside storage what so ever. I'm getting ancy waiting for the trailer so I can go up to City of Rocks with my Telescope for a couple of days. Every thing else they have done looks great. When they are all done I'll design a solar system for it and order the parts. Then take it back and have them install it to my specs.

"Gonna be looking for some of you while there". Has no one invited you to join us yet? Well hell, here you go you are officially invited. We will give you GPS co-ordinates when we are there. Welcome to the Classless Class.

Lee, thanks for welcoming Rick. He's a retired lineman from the utility company that I worked 38 years for. Spent a lot of "after work sessions" hoisting a few. If he makes it to your door, just keep in mind that those stories he'll tell ya about me are very old and probably embellished a tad. So, take them with a grain of salt (which goes well tequila I'm told)! Lawd, lawd my ears will be burning that day! And Rick, Lee is the official "Classless" story teller so, you've been warned too! Watch out for Lee's cowgirls...yer a married man...LOL!

Toni, you have been watching Steve to long and he has you hooked on taking long Steves. We all greeted Ron and Linda back on the 4th of October when they sold their house and hit the road. We'll get a chance to watch them burn their morgage at Q and what ever shinanagans you gals have cooked up.

 

I've been closing my bank accounts back east all day, I have the old credit card and the Deposit box out of the way now so all I have to do is start transfering the money. I am no longer a Tar Heel. The mountains of NC are a thing of the past. I'm just a homeless, Unemployed Trailer Trash now. Don't it feel good.

[Ron and Linda]

Palamine, Thank you for the invite but IYQ is right. We got the invite some time ago and will ask for the coordinates when we get there. Does anyone know a guy buy the name of "Clinton".. met him in

Sam Houston State park. Said he was a member of escapees for 13 years. Is a bluegrass picker. His domicile was Indiana and his new wife's is near the Brownsville area. I think him and his present wife lost their spouses a year or two ago and remarried. He was headed toward the McAllen Tx area but that was about all the info I could get. He was in a motor home with toad. I wish I knew more Thanks.

 

IYQ, where you at that's its so dang cold?

[steved44]

Ron, he's in Deming which seems to have become cold since we were there last month. Now you need to come out to Yuma which seems to maintain it's not too cold atmosphere. 72 daytime and 51 nighttime so we can't complain a all. Steve

IYQ, where you at that's its so dang cold?

I'm in Deming NM that first blast of article air came right at us then turned east into Texas. Deming is 4500 feet in altitude so we run 5 to 10 degrees colder than the vallies of AZ. It's getting back to normal here now. They are predicting 70 degrees here this weekend. I got stuck here last January 26th going to a bunch of doctors appointments. I'm going to try to be in Q at our get together if these old bones can take it.

[Ron and Linda]

Hey Steve. I read that thread above and looked up Low Hi on google. I might just have to stop by IYQ's and rattle his cage. I hope there might be room for a full hook up. Will need it for my electric snow blower LOL.

[IYQ]

Ron we have plenty of spaces this time of year. Most of our members have gone to their winter areas like the slabs in Calif. Drop in I'll treat you to Diner so I can tell you all the true stories about Steve I've made up.LOL

Thank You Lee. We'll make better plans with ya around the weekend of 12/13 Dec. Looking forward to meeting you. Need to get out of this wind!!

Here's my excuse, maybe others have this problem too. You know at the top of the page on the forum it says "go to first unread post". Well it doesn't always say that! So I go to the previous page to see what's up and sometimes there is so much going on, I miss some.

[Striper]

Well here it is almost time to start smelling Turkey cooking, so let me start it off by wishing one and all a

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I miss a lot too. I think most of them are going to my email but then I discover half of them don't.

 

With that said .... Happy Turkey Day. We may be chowing down on pizza at Silly Al's. That is, if they are open.

Sometimes your browser is keeping a slightly old version of the page and showing you that, you can hit refresh to get current with the site or a slightly faster and less data needed way, you can click the Forums tab (above forums list to the left.) Once the page refreshes you can then click the "View New Content" link on the right side. From the new content page open the blue dot ahead of each topic shown (first unread post) in a new tab. Control-Click or clicking the mouse wheel both work for that.

 

Still isn't perfect but other than opening each topic individually it seems to be the most bug free.

Happy Thanks Giving to All. I'm saying it tonight cause I probably won't be talking much tomorrow after all the food. I went out for pizza tonight to tune up for tomorrow. I spent the morning getting the bank all straitened out. So now I thing we are both on the same page. I think banks are one of the bigest crooks out there but I guess they are a little safer than under the mattress. I got the trees watered for this week and am about to put them on a two week schedule. I'll keep lengthening the time between waterings till they are down to once a month during the rest of the winter. I'm hoping for better root growth than they have been getting. All the leaves have fallen from the pecan trees around here. There are leaves in the orchards a foot deep. Reminds me of my yard back east. Don't eat too much tomorrow but no limit on the drinks LOL.

[Ron and Linda]

I pulled up the 10 day forecast for your area IYQ. WHOA Its "COLD". May Have to rethink this. But I can probably handle a day. Gobble Gobble!
