Please help me refine the definition. This is what I have so far.

Secrud - a thought or an idea that is kept quiet, close to the vest. Similar to a secret, but with Mutant status.

Miscellaneous catching up...

As far as the trailer brake issue, i will probably just replace the whole brake assembly. Since it got hot enough to melt the wire insulation, not telling what kind of damage it might have done to the electric brake itself. I was fortunate that although the bearings pretty much disintegrated the axle spindle was only scuffed a little and some emery cloth cleaned it up.



Tim, congrats on the new GK. Texting left handed isn't that hard, I do it all the time.



Turned 73 today. Yay me...

Good morning. Hope everyone is doing well this morning.

Anyone plan on traveling this Summer? We are. We went out just before Thanksgiving for 10 days. Stayed at Fort Sam Houston and everything we did there we do at home pertaining to COVID-19. We don't see any differences on taking a trip anywhere. In about a week and a half we will be going to a rally with the Texas Boomers and then to a wedding. Looking forward to it.

The beginning of Summer we will head out for cooler climates. Don't quite know where, but somewhere.

Anyone else?

And Good Morning to y'all too


I am hoping to do a big one. I have friends back in Michigan that I would like to get together with before we start passing on, and then, luck willing, I have a GD in Boston that I would like to get together with.


Around 7,000 miles if the stars align correctly.


Wishing you and yours a good day

Wayne, we have been solitary and still traveling since Covid came to town.

Our only fear is the one we haven’t done: rallys. Too many peeps

Barb we're here until April 1st. Carmen gets shots on 3/10 and spayed (is that better?) on 3/15, then she's all ours.


This darn dog only does #1 and #2 once a day despite being walked every other hour or so. Is that at all normal? Got an iron bladder apparently...


Almost everything all fixed now. Starter works, jacks work, water heater and furnace work. Still fighting the stupid steps (won't stay extended) and the trailer brake problem (controller says there's an intermittent short in the circuit - still need to pull the brake drum and check it - that's the wheel that fried it's bearings in Texas, including the wire inside the drum. I patched it but maybe not good enough. Maybe it's rubbing on something.). Worst case I replace the whole assembly.


Dog bladders are like people bladders..... I have 2 westies, one only goes 2x a day to potty, the other about 10x....
