I have actually reached out by PM and email to some and asked that they just toss us ponder or jump in with a diversionary post. As always - we were not excluding anyone or any topic - some of us were just excited and largely consumed by one in particular...

So any RVMs sitting on the sidelines cause ya can't make it to the GC - jump in here anyway. We miss hearing from you!

Hello Mutants !!!

I have a ponder that I have been pondering ..... why is it that it seems wind and blowing dust is inproportionatly inverse to the amount of time and money spent on having your MH washed and waxed ? Any answers would be most welcomed.

Cheers !!!

It is the same curse as wash/wax causing rain in non-desert areas.

Well, at least I know it is your fault. Gee thanks Jeff!

Gwen is building a thicker layer of value-adding patina every day, in her quest to be the grungiest rig at the GC!

I must put my long slides in during the day so they dont billow and fly away!

Hmmm, is that bragging or complaining? I need a consensus ruling on this, I believe. What does it say in the RVM handbook about such statements?

Complaining, Barb.

For clarity: Jeff created weather here in AZ with high winds, and the slide toppers on my deepest slide outs have weakening springs. So, they billow up at winds of about 15mph or more. And the topper materials are aging also, so I do not wish to "invest" in all 4 of them just now.

However, a big enough gust with them out would settle the issue.

Official ruling: Jeff created conditions that cause Dave to make changes because he is temporarily a cheapskate until he gets Gwen back to PA and pays the (UGH) sales tax.

You had to ask, aye?

Oh I will not take the blame for the high wind and dust but the Beaver needed washing ..... I mean it was really dirty and I don't want the distinction of having a dirty Beaver ....

Cheers !!!

I will not blame you.
Could you wash and wax again just before the 18th? I need a tail wind going toward the GC.

Still a confusing conglomeration of obfuscation!

Out on the rainbow - all brag. Winds blowing out on the rainbow - still on the rainbow so brag - slide toppers are aging - you have slide toppers - still brag. And for sure new rig and gotta pay sales tax - all brag. Now mind ya, all the brag is fact - and thats a hand of facts I'd go all in on. Ya got it made n' spades!

My long slide is always in, it's also non-exsitant.

Flying Monkey Airlines

I found this among pictures I took last Fall.
No idea where I got it, but it seems RVM-ish
