Sounds like a Saskatchewan thing. Too much Netflix for the BC girlsEl_K said:Do it like Canadians do. Doggy style so you can both watch the hockey game.

Our first camping trip is complete. One of the most interesting things about being in an RV is emptying your tanks before leaving a campsite. There’s something special about opening the valve and watching 3 days of piss and shit go through the tube into the septic tank.

Get the new truck quick.

Truck shopping starts on Monday. We’re taking the Airstream out again around October 9th. I’m not sure if I’ll have by then or not.Swaye said:Get the new truck quick.

Know where to get the coldest beer along SR 14? Meet there next time.MikeDamone said:

A couple of months ago i pulled some friends' 29' Terri trailer down the gorge from the Dalles to Stevenson with my half ton Ram. It wasn't a good idea. They had some heavy shit in the back that I think made it worse, but I didn't feel at all in control of it going over 40. I was just glad I elected to come down 14 rather than trying the freeway. It was a long, slow slog with a lot of pulling over to let people pass.YouKnowIt said:If you live were I live in the Columbia Gorge, you are going to want anything bigger than a half-ton. The half ton has the capacity and power, to pull it, but the wind and sway on a half ton vs 2500 is way different...

The Mrs. won't get near the emptying of the tanks, we have the extra hose for flushing out the black tank which helps.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:Our first camping trip is complete.

Mrs: what is taking so long
Me: I think there is a Mr. Potato Head stuck in there - have you been constipated?
Mrs.:Here's that beer you wanted
Me: 'ducked quickly' -
Do I look like I have the stamina to make it to the camp bathroom?MikeDamone said:

Wood chopping story tim. I brought my hatchet and Fiskars Destroyer hammer with me to cut some of the fire wood from the campground. I left my wood grenade at home.
Everything is going going great on the first day and I’m happily splitting some wood. I’m almost done when I pick up one more piece and it’s got some gnarly knots in it. I put it back down after seeing the knots but then pick it up again because I’m a stubborn mother fucker according to Mrs Nacho who was sitting there watching.
I take a swing with the hatchet and it sticks but doesn’t go very deep (most of us can relate). I pick up the Destroyer and start pounding. After the 3rd strike, I realized my mistake. The hatchet is fucking stuck. I try using the Destroyer to knock the hatchet loose but nothing works. Mrs Nacho laughs at me and says now what?
I have a plan. I forgot some things at home and was driving back the next morning so the wood, looking like the stone in the King Arthur story but with a hatchet, goes in the truck.
Drive home the next day and I spent 15 minutes trying to get that hatchet unstuck. I start with the wood grenade. There was a little movement but not much. I move to my full size Fiskars and think I’m going get it but nope. Finally had to pull my reciprocating saw and cut from the side until the hatchet fell out.
The wood, still mostly in one piece, the hatchet, the Destroyer, and the wood grenade all went in the back of the truck and back to the campsite.

I'm surprised a morbidly obese guy had the energy for all of that.

It's a good thing Daniel Boone had a reciprocating saw. Otherwise we'd have never settled the frontier, killed all the buffalo and laid waste to the red man.

Boone always had to have a few restored to run his saw though. Mine runs on lithium batteries.DerekJohnson said:

After each part, I needed a 45 minute nap and a gallon of cheese sauce to recover.Swaye said:I'm surprised a morbidly obese guy had the energy for all of that.

@LizzieBordenDawg, true?

Grab handle, swing other end of log into boulder or something hard, twisting the hatchet head out of the log. I've never gotten one stuck so badly that I can't twist it out.

During our last camping trip (and only camping trip so far), we went to the town of Danville, KY for lunch. The restaurant had this picture next to the urinal so instead of taking a dick pic like I planned, I took a photo of the photo.
Here’s the story about that game.

But did they beat Finland?

they won because they had two guys named Centre, probably on the OL

Took the ol’ Airstream out this weekend and completely on its owner plus a small Honda generator. Good timing since the over night temps were in the mid 30s. Used the generator to supplement the batteries and that fucker ran 8+ hours before running out of gas this morning while brewing coffee.
Mrs Nacho is now 110% behind upgrading the truck so if nothing else this trip is great success.

Learned a valuable lesson yesterday. A little background first. RVs have 3 holding tanks for grey water, black water and fresh water. When you go to drain the black and grey tanks, it’s helpful to have a lot of water in them to help move things along.
So yesterday as we’re packing up, I still have about 55% of my fresh water and the other tanks are at about 20% full. So I decided to fill up a gallon jug in the kitchen sink to pour down the toilet. That’s gonna help drain the fresh water and fill the black tank but not help fill the grey tank so I go turn on the bathroom sink.
While waiting for the jug to fill up I’m checking the display monitors watching the fresh and grey tanks. Fresh water is starting to go down but grey isn’t going up. Weird. Jug is about full so I shut off kitchen sink and go check the bathroom sink.
Turns out Mrs Nacho thought it’d be a good idea to close the drain plug in the bathroom sink for traveling and I now have a shit ton of water on the counter that’s going god knows where behind the sink.
Afterwards, I ask Mrs Nacho if there was a reason she closed that plug, i.e., was that on one of the checklists we have have. Her answer, “no, I thought it was a good idea but in hindsight it makes more sense to leave it open.” -
I have a thing against Chevy. It’s not like I’m a gear head who hates certain brands but it seems like every Chevy I ever drove or rode in as a passenger had a check engine light that was always on.YellowSnow said:

At the same time, I also recognize that American carmakers make exceptional pick up trucks and that my dislike and distrust of the quality American cars does not extend to the truck models. -
If Toyota made a 3 / 4 or 1 ton I’d say buy that. But they don’t. It’s too bad cause the Tundra plant is in Indiana.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
