Title: Where is Everybody????????????????????
Post by: John Eversoll on November 15, 2011, 12:51:15 AM

Ok, I don't have a life ......

I am retired and think everybody is out there like me wondering what everybody is doing and

how they are coming along on their rigs.

Just to let you folks know, the snow has melted and I am burning the brush that I cut down a month ago.

getting things planned for the make over on the interior of the rig.

Trying to train the new pup that we got from a rescue group on the way back from Calif.

I wish everybody a happy thanksgiving.  And above all, a safe drive to and from your destinations...

Take care, John E.

  Hey Mr Grumpy Pants",

Glad to see somebody is still out there..

Kinda know what you are dealing with.... No money to fix the beast

Got the time, But now it is snowing.........Crap.......

Don't get me wrong, I love the snow and I love living here in Oregon..

But, why now.... God couldn't wait another week to drop this white stuff on me....:)

Heck I still have burn piles to get to...  And the Chevy still has to get color sanded and

buffed out.  Plus I still have to paint the white stripe on the hood and trunk lid.

"But I did keep my self busy and spent four hours  splitting wood for the stove.

I would really love to get together with alot of you guys this coming year.

Don't really have much to do on the rig except replace the panneling and the coil springs
and front disc breaks. Take care, John   :)

Hi fellow Clipper owners! Our escape hatch vent blew off our 1977 Clipper. It appears to be a Hengs? 15 x 22, that is the outside lip size
It blew off Friday on our way down to the Snake river in Washington do some Steelhead fishing on the long weekend.

Hi Patty from  Spokane, I have a very good friend that lives up there..

I have been makeing threats that I will some day go and visit him..

I have to refurbish the interior of my rig...going to rip out that old panneling and replace it with new stuff

and add new cabinets.  the stock cabinets are what you might call antiquated  out dated
not of any use If you are ever down this way let me know. I will put ya up for the night or nights
as with any one else --That includes you too Jim" or Horce,  Just let me know in advance..

John

We just bought an old Park Model in an RV Co-op in the Yuma area.  So will be spending most of our time here.  Will go north during the hot summer months.

I learned how to put in a laminate floor since we bought the Park Model.  Not hard but this old body of mine is not used to any physical work and it liked to have killed me.  It does look nice and would suggest anyone to put it in their rigs if possible.
