Y'all must be lettin' the paint dry. I skipped that step, painting, and the next step, riding around and toasting to the sunset.

Your install sounds like more fun than mine. Later.

Well, down to 1 left for sure and possibly 2. Will know Tues if the 2nd one is for sale. Then:

"THAT'S ALL FOLKS"

D&D Chassis will be out of the Power Awning Tiedown Kit manufacturing.

I will make the formed Tiedown Brackets on special order if someone wants to get their own pole material. I will furnish dwgs for the poles if desired.

Thank you everyone for your business, I hope they meet your expectations.
NOW, on to the GOSHEN RALLY!

No thanks, you can cut it up and make rings for things you roll up. We use some 2" wide rings for the sun shades and picnic table cloth + the seat covers we made out of a plaid sunshade material.

Thanks! It's nice to be back. It's been a rough year, health wise, but I'm back and we're getting the toy hauler out of storage in a couple of weeks for the first time since October, 2011! We're back to BBQ competitions but we;ll be doing fewer of them and staying closer to home this season.

Well, along with-------

Along with the 12 YR old Appleton Rum, I used the same stuff I removed the power transformer from the Alabama power pole to get my poles out of the packing tubes. The only problem here is my EARS ARE STILL RINGING! And a lot of smoke, but they came out OK.

Go to Pusser's on Tortola. they have a pub in Road Town and an Outpost at Marina Cay on the east end of Tortola.

You also have to go to White Bay on Jost Van Dyke and the Soggy Dollar Bar for a Painkiller or three



Make sure you get a floater of Pusser's on top

Sorry for the highjack.
