My Uncle Ray was a true master. Tried to teach me to carve.
I have trouble "seeing" the object in the wood. :sigh:

I heard you just remove the bits that don't look like what you are trying to carve!

Padding - also known as bandages.

Where are you traveling - what are your plans for the spring / summer. We have mutants moving toward Arkansas - and then some are off to who knows where... Then there is the PNW Midi-curiosity in the works. Your RVM family can't buy ya a coffee or adult beverage if they don't know where to find ya!!

Share your plans and maybe meet another mutant or two. Mini-Cs are Grand - ask anyone who has participated in one!!

Well, 3 trips booked so far, one for a weekend in early June to get things going, then a week at a few Provincial Parks we have not yet visited. Daughter will come with us and wants to tent. Then in July we are all travelling to Quebec City and Montreal for several days each. We will be staying at KOAs that have cabins to rent for daughter and also shuttles into Quebec city and Montreal. I grew up in the Montreal area and Eastern Townships and my sister lives in the country south of Montreal, so we will also see her. A city lights tour! Also considering heading south to Florida in late October and storing the trailer for a few months there, returning for a month or so in the winter, perhaps with daughter and doggies. We shall see! I am hopeful.

I am hopeful for you!! And very glad you stopped in to say hello. Dave is starting to think he is the photo of the day stand in.... Miss hearing from you. I forget how snowed you get there. Your trips sound wonderful. If we could "blink" ya to the GC ala Jeanie we would.

Hope all is well on the daughters health front and throughout your portion of the rainbow.

X2 from us, timarti. :-)

We are an outpost of the mutant rainbow up here! Snow finally starting to melt, big drifts will take a while to disappear. Heading for mud season soon. However.... I did see 3 (!) robins hopping around on the tiny patches of exposed ground and a very confused looking golden finch at our feeder. Daughter ok at the moment. I have decided the only thing to do is make plans and adjust, as needed. Looking forward to the pix of the Grand Curiosity, Night, all.

Ah! Edumacated person. Barb, Chuck's answer is correct, I dont' know about your MH, but if I look behind the toilet in mine I see that connection from the wall to the toilet. Might not be the same as a riser in the house, but I'll bet with all the hair spray (not me) and bumping when cleaning, etc., it needs to be checked and changed. I wonder how long PEX is good for.

The tour guide was extremely upset but the tourists got a big kick out of it. The riser can be seen just below the seat in the center.

I was there beginning in 1994. The hose is very similar to a bidet. Good for cleaning tools and such.

It's amazing how much YAK mileage we can get out of a toilet. Everyone on the mailing list knows what YAK is.
