On the light bar...the guy next to us had a blue one on his and holy shit was that annoying! Bugs ain't bad yet so I'll have more to say later in the year about it.

It was also weird to be at paint creek and the place wasn't packed to the gills.

I'm also still in search of some missing Bud Lights...took 50 beers with me and I couldn't find any in the cooler last night. WTF?! How is that possible, with only one person drinking them? Two days and fifty beers...maybe camping will cost me more money than I thought! How cool would it be to have a tap on the side....? Hmmmmmm

Well ya factor in 48 hours, minus 8 hours sleep each night and you're at 32 hours of possible drunk time. That's only 1.5 beers an hour. Even if you took out another 7 hours of sober up time and you're at 2 beers an hour. I'm sure about 15 or so were concentrated in 4 hour spans each night. That only leaves 20 beers to consume the other 24 hours.

I am sorry. I shouldn't have posted that on a public forum Dave. Everyone deserves to let their hair down now and again. I drink some on occasion TOO. As a light drinker that sounds like a ton. None of my business though. My apologies. Just want to be there to hear the "I ever tell ya about the time I crawled in a coyote den" story someday!

It's been a long long time for me buddy. I have no idea how I'm functioning right now. No apology needed! I love that people say what they think around here, don't change it.

Atta boy, just getting in shape for summer! NASCAR races and BG tractor pulls is where this type of consumption is common for most Phil lol. That's why you HAVE to have wet wipes along with regular TP in the camper or porta john:pickle: At that stage with greasy breakfasts and coffee as a staple, look out!

It had been like one of those weekends. I was with all my buddies in my mind, lol.

A bunch of years back we did a "Bud light brick road" at BG. Lined them up 12 wide and ended with it being something like 32 rows by the ended of the weekend. It was a very solid group of beer drinkers in that group though!

Well, it happened. We had our first mishap/issue this weekend with our camper. The slide got all jacked up somehow and it keeps jumping teeth…it's sitting at the dealer now. I'm not sure if it was something we did, or just something that happened.

We needed to dump the tanks and refill on water (2nd week in the same spot) and somehow the bathroom door didn't get closed. Slide came in and crushed the door…the slide has had a popping noise since we got it and the dealer was aware. We told him exactly what happened and he doesn't think the door had anything to do with it. We dug into it as much as I was comfortable over the weekend. Something is jacked up for sure, didn't matter how much we realigned it…it'd just jump back as soon as you slide it in.

We are glad that the dealer is doing what they can.

Hate to hear it giles, but definitely good dealer said theyd fix! I crushed the bunk ladder after first trip. It bounced out of its travel spot and its behind the rear part of the slideout. Cccaaaarrrruunnnnccchhhhhhh....

If ure slide out is a raised floor kind, meaning it comes up over floor to travel and flush when extended, i guess you are not supposed to be on them when brought in (hard to do with little ones). Makes sense as the floors are floating designs and only supported when out. Hope it gets resolved quickly!

They have a new slide system on order. They pulled it al apart, didn't see anything wrong, put it back together and it's doing the same thing.

We will be going back to the tent this weekend in Indy....

That is a great attitude giles, I'd be pissed!!

That wouldn't help anything. I was upset at first, but non of this really matters in the end. We will make memories just the same this weekend! I'm using it as a great building block for my kids to learn how good they have it. That's what matters!

You can learn good things from the worst people, and bad things from the best people. Up to you to weed it out...

Another great way to look at teaching the kids, well done!

My point is if it made that sound from day 1, the dealer should not have sold it. Now you, the consumer who just dropped decent coin for it, has to be impacted. The dealer, he's making a little bit of coin of the situation. It never should have left the lot.

Safe travels and enjoy the weekend!
