Gallery Pics (so far anyway)

Stay tuned...
 
Oh we don't warm it up! It comes straight out of the freezer, goes into our bellies and then all the muscles get loosy goosy and my cheeks turn pink. But you are right, highly flammable.

It takes about 3 months in a jar in the cupboard and then we add a simple syrup. It is worth the wait and as we give it as Xmas gifts, it looks like it is time to start another batch!

Hey, and I can also double as paint stripper! :)
 
got Ms RITA cranked up and ready to go... Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and wine... not to mention Margaritas...

Now if my friend would bother to show up so I can get the food warmed up... we'll be set... Gawd, why do I bother at times.. heheh...

Hava good one All Y'All....

yep, Jenn...
that's what I should have seen.... but??? I got to leave early... looks much better on video... without the crowds and the 3 hrs of standing around... fun... keep the video.. heheh
 
By the way Frank, Mick did some experiments at dinner last night, and we have discovered limoncello is not flammable and thus safe to drink around a campfire. You are welcome world. :)

Nice looking copper pots. And if you sit any closer to the fire YOU'LL be cooked for dinner!
Thanks AS ALWAYS for sharing.
 
Pat-
Thanks, I love the night photos just for their colors.. it gets a little tricky with lighting, but a LED headlight or flash light helps fill in the colors

S&A =
Thanks, it's always fun to post. Sometimes I get carried away but lately I've been focusing on getting the "Buggy" (new toy) "Nellie" squared away. It changes the Traveling configuations, back to Tent. But rest assured.... I've sent initial theme for the decals.. heheh fun...
 
Yeppers... right on...

the Buggy is much like the Corvette of Side x Sides, at this time, more power than I'll ever use... so the term "Whoa Nellie" and 'Nelle' for short seemed appropriate...

Victory Girl will be doing the Decals as she has done before...

fun..
 
Well Frank, I hope you keep getting carried away with the posting and the pictures. I always like reading your posts and you take great pictures.
It looks like you have a little more shopping to do though. You need a vehicle that can transport Nellie and your CampInn. LOL
 
Yah Pat, it's a slippery slope indeed... some states allow 3 trailers (Oregon is one) and I had thought it was only allowed by Coml (Truckers) but have been informed applies to Car Folk too.. dunno but need to find a simpler solution.

they have "cargo toy haulers"

Little smaller one, but you get the idea.....

that look like horse trailers (not as fancy nor $$$ as the 5th wheeler big boys.. but they are bigger than "Le Droppe" and would require a bigger truck so it's a slippery slope indeed. While mine would probably pull them, it's straining so until then, or Lotto time, it'll have to wait...

So, tent camping for now... as I mentioned, I have most the stuff needed now, just need to organize it....

They also have some setups where you drive up onto the trucks bed... it just looks akward and not real stable plus they're on a bigger truck.. sigh. heheh... slippery slope indeed... but???

"Resistance is Futile" (Star Trek Borg" and will be moving forward in that directions...
 
Hey Frank,Maybe you could get a trailer big enough to haul both Le Droppe and Nellie. Three trailers is pretty scarey. I'm just getting out of the tent camping and really ready to be done with that. Did you see my little cot tent at NW Campout? Since you have some really nice shelters already maybe that would work for you for a while. I get in it the same way you do the teardrop. I bought 43 inch wide cots and 5X7 tents with a door on each side. I put my foam pad on top of the cot then pitch the tent on top of that. Put my memory foam inside the tent and add sleeping bag and pillows.Its very comfy. The tent loops down on each side of the cot and that leaves a pocket along each side Where you can store stuff. A large rain fly came with these tents and I stake that down good.
 
Yep, Pat I hear ya...

Already got the Eureka Cabin full size tent, stand up inside for 6. Cot and pad has been ordered... so me thinks that'll work out ok. Got the heater and table and LED light and of course sleeping bags. so good to go. Just have to put it all together and figure out which stove combination will work best...

I just really hate getting back to the tent era... so saving up for the Toy Hauler... but tent will work as a carry over... thanks..
 
Wow Frank! Looks like you're the master at having fun teardropping! I'm definitely going to dig through your posts and see what I can learn for future trips. Thanks again for the friendly welcome at CICO and here on the forum.
