Better yet all my small engine gas is not 100% ethanol free!

I wish I could buy ethanol free gas here but the state won't allow us to sell it

It'll likely last another ten !
Leaf blower was 7 yrs old, weed eater the same and it's still going. When the weed eater has a fit, it will go in the trash also. Easier to buy a new one than mess with the old one.

Leaf blowers and weed eaters - what are these things you speak of?

Are they what my yard man who comes every Wednesday carries in his truck

Home Plate

DW and I just found our way back home to Dallas, Georgia. Our FROG Rally experience is one to write home about, all I can say is this, Forest River and Prime Time Mfg. have got there act together when it comes to taking care of their FROGS. We came to FROG Rally expecting the worse, we came away as life long customers. Thanks to Rick, Shane, Jeff and all the others tech's that I cannot put a name too. Everyone dealers should send at least one of there tech's to the FROG RALLY to experience how to take care of your customers. Everything now works and looks great on our Crusader 270 RET, plus all the new friends we have met for life, Donna, Wayne, Paula, Ken, Ron, Neil, Bob, Cindy, Girrad, Marsha, just to name a few:

That's what I was thinking! 52 here. Felt like one of those cool fall camping mornings, when the air is crisp and very few people are up, but you can hear the clanking of an iron skillet and smell the frying of bacon! How's that for a "mind picture" to start the day?

LOVE fall camping mornings.

We still haven't made it home from Goshen. Went to Holland and Saugatuck, MI after the FROG rally and we're now in Springfield, IL. The state fair is going on this week, and since Yvonne hasn't ever been, we decided to stop. (Oakman, we got a two-night reservation in Double J Campground. Still some spots open. C'mon back... )

Safe travels to F.R.O.G. Bob and Mama FROG Cindy, who leave today on their western rally junket.
