RE: Tighten up your Hitch Extension < $5
I don't want to weld on my hitch so I've tried thin wedges, a top cable/turnbuckle, and side chains with turnbuckles, but---DUH--- your simple fix never occurred to me. Thanks a lot!

RE: Colleton State Park,South Carolina
We paddle the Edisto all summer. June is especially nice because it's warm enough to swim. Even in June the water is cool. Plenty sandbars to stop and take a dip and in that section of the river there's plenty of shade. Do it, you'll enjoy it.
Ask the park ranger.

RE: What RV damage has Gorilla Duct Tape repaired?
I've never used it on the camper, but it keeps my mother-in-law's mouth shut better than duct tape. (I hope my wife doesn't see this)

RE: Mosquitos!
Therma cells and OFF! clip ons work for us. This year seems extra bad for skeeters here, too.

RE: How Much Stuff Do You Bring for a Weekend Trip?
It's easy to camp with my grandson. Just add water!!! If he can fish, swim, or paddle, he doesn't need anything else. Except food, of course!

RE: Question on kayaks
I have a mirage drive Pro Angler 14. I weigh 230 and I can stand up on it. Carefully, of course! I've seen people stand up and paddle them like paddleboards.I have no experience with tandems, though, my wife likes her Pungo 120 too much to ride with me!

RE: Colleton State Park,South Carolina
We've stayed there several times. Don't worry about leaving early, just tell the ranger when you check in. If there's no one in your site, they'll let you check in after mid-day. I guess you already know it's right off I-95. Easy in easy out.
Enjoy your stay. By the way, skeeters are unusually bad this year!

RE: Im so excited, Walmart wants me to have their credit card!
Our local Wal - Mart averages about three cents a gallon less than the cheapest Diesel fuel nearby. If you use a Wal - Mart card it's three cents less than their regular price. So I keep a card just for fuel. Over time, it saves some money.I've used it all over the US. Savings vary from place to place, and sometimes (like right now) they have fifteen cents off. Doesn't cost me anything, so why mot use it?

RE: It Is So Worth It To Have A Great Steak
I saw some character on a "cowboy" cooking show season ribeyes then rub them with brown sugar. I told my wife I couldn't think of a better way to ruin a steak, but the people on the show raved about it. One night I decided to try it, and I've been doing it ever since. The brown sugar caramelizes immediately and seals the juices in. You'd think there would be a sweet taste, but there isn't. Only secret is to have the grill HOT and turn the steak quickly.

RE: western NC mountains into SC
We drove 178 through that area once, and happened to get behind an antique car cruise. I didn't have white knuckles, but I had steam coming from my ears before we got to hwy 11. There's nowhere to pass more than one car at a time (and those places are few) and these guys were staying bumper to bumper. Not an enjoyable ride on what is a really scenic road!

RE: Goodbye forever I-95 and New Jersey!
In '68 I drove US 50 from Sacramento to Kansas City. Last summer I drove it from Lamar KS to Reno. The only real change is that now a part of 50 is I-70. You can still have a three car day. Can't say that about many roads in the US!

RE: Protecting the screen door from dogs
I bought a "home size" protector from Lowes And cut it down to fit the bottom of my door. It took a little bit of engineering and reconstruction, but it came out OK. I did this after saying "NO!" a few thousand times and replacing the bottom screen twice!

Best price when I replaced mine was Sam's Wholesale. I caught a sale on Duracells. Do yourself a favor and replace all the connectors!

RE: New Rimfire
I have a friend who told me he wasn't that impressed with the .17 cal. Said it didn't kill alligators.
I had a .22 Hornet years ago and traded it for a .30/30. There were several of those "varmint" calibers around in the 50's. .22 Hornet, .22Swift, .218 Bee .219 Zipper, and of course the Winchester .22 WRF. A friend of mine has a WRF and has been offered a LOT for it from collectors. So far he's not selling.

RE: not a tc but i drove by it today,big step up,lol
We saw the Kenworth with the Avion on it in Alaska. We named it the "Ultimate Truck Camper". It was a well done job. Lots of room for tanks, big generator compartment,etc. The guy said he got 11 mpg "just loafin' along" and that's all he ever did.
