  1. Yeah, I need to wash it anyway.
  2. Took my trailer back to the dealer on Friday and they gave it back to me on Saturday, guy said they figured out the leak and fixed it. The owner's daughter was running the service desk the first time I took it in, in June. I guess she was filling in for the main guy that runs the desk as he didn't have much good to say about the job she did. Hopefully they got it straightened out this time. Was kinda hoping for some rain this week to test it out but the forecast says no rain, just hot AF.
  3. I've had a chance to listen to a little sports radio and read a few articles today and its come up how the playoff expansion talk has pretty much come to a screeching halt since (or because of) Texas/OU going to the SEC. The opinion seems to be that the other conferences put the expansion on hold in part to limit the SEC presence in the playoffs. The OU writer on Tulsa radio pointed out that OU would definitely had rather the SEC move was kept under wraps until the playoff expansion became more of a reality. That made me think how aggy that whole scenario is because it was aggy that leaked the story that seems to have paused the playoff expansion talk and how funny it would be if they get left out of a 4 team playoff again but would have made the 12 team cut had it been changed...
  4. My slide still leaks. It's going to have to go back to the shop. 😔
  5. I could see schools turning each other's players in for violations... I mean would a school really care if their athlete did a paid promotion while wearing team issued sweat pants? But could the school that lost out on that recruit maybe turn them in? I dunno how the law is written, is there even a punishment specified for violations? And who would you report violations too?
  6. Just got mine back from the dealer on Wednesday, it had been there since June 15th. They had to replace the control panel and fix a leak on the bedroom slide... They said the factory forgot to glue down the inner seal on top of the slide. As soon as we got home we found the daily break, on the way home we lost the little clippy that holds in the pin in one of the awning supports. I just replaced it today with a bolt and a lock nut. We got a big trip planned next week, half of wife's family are members of the Tulsa Ski Club and during the summer they take a few RV trips around the state. Next weekend they blocked off a bunch of sites at Tall Chief Cove at Skiatook Lake, west of Tulsa. We're getting there Wednesday and staying til the next Monday. After this week at work I'm really looking forward to some kayaking, campfire cooking, and whiskey.
  7. Yeah I dunno what either law says but Saban said his QB is already making almost 7 figures and hasn't played a down yet while Texas players are getting themselves put on Axe cans for free...
  8. According to these guys https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ OSU's lowest viewed game was vs TCU at 642k viewers, next lowest was 905k vs KU, the rest of our games were well over a million viewers. The rest of the BIG12 does struggle.... I mean yeah, we get it, we're not Texas/OU but a couple of us do get some people to watch. Going through that list, last year the highest viewed games were: Ou/Tex at 4.81 million OSU/OU at 4.1 OSU/Tex at 4.04 KU and KSU's ratings were abysmal and no one seemed to want to watch Baylor or TCU either.
  9. As an OSU fan I was thinking our only hope was a PAC invite, would much rather be in the B1G though.
  10. What about position coaches that don't make as much as the star player they are coaching now? Yeah it's common in the NFL but these college coaches aren't used to dealing with it...

    If you get to Tulsa early enough in the day take your kid to the Gathering Place.
  12. We have a small lake near town I like to have my morning Coke Zero at on my days off. If you are considering an ADV bike I would highly recommend.
  13. It sounds like you yave an intermittent ground on the load side of the main trailet breaker. If it was on the source side (your new wiring to the house) then it should case the breaker at the house to trip too. Probably... If you heard noise behind the panel then I'd focus on that area... I'm no doctor but I'd turn off the breaker at the house and carefully pull out the panel. Look really close for any burn marks or any bare wire or cuts in the insulation. Before pulling the panel though you could try pulling all the fuses and tripping all the breakers in the panel and then powering up the trailer. If the main still trips then your problem almost has to be between the load side of the main breaker and the rest of the panel. If it doesn't trip then slowly turn on breakers until it does. As a last resort, with the main panel out, all the fuses pulled and breakers off except the main, have someone turn the house breaker on while you carefully watch for arcs.... Trailer batteries always have some load on them like the car style dvd player and whatnot and will drain down after a coulple days anyway - in my experience. Good luck!
  14. Heard he was the third suspect in the Seth McGowan/Trejan Bridges ordeal mentioned a couple pages back...
  15. We bought the Speed Queen Tr7 set about 3 1/2 years ago... It's piss. Uses a ton of water and doesn't clean very well. Maybe the newer models are better but they won't get any more of my money.
  16. I just try to keep them clean and out of direct sunlight best I can, I haven't had any issues...
  17. Yeah I was pretty fortunate everything was already there on that side of the house. Before I was dragging 50 feet of stinky slinky and a 50 amp extension cord across the yard to hook up at home. After our last trip we tore up the yard pretty bad trying to park so we needed to do something to fix the ruts. I've only been planning to do this for about 4 years so I figured might as well go ahead and get it done sooner rather than later :). I just had to dig a 40 foot trench from the side of the house, my sewer and electric was right there and I was able to tap into a water line from the basement. I was able to tee in to the sewer clean out and had I stole the circuit for the electric range (220, 221 whatever it takes). I ran 4 inch dwv, 1/2 inch pex , and 6/3 wg across the yard.
  18. Had to take the fifth wheel back to the dealer last week to work on a leaky slide. So while it was gone I pulled a @Steel Shank - rented a hoe and laid some pipe. Now I officially have full hookups in the backyard.
  19. Not sorry I missed it but is this the reason for all the nowthis jokes lately?
  20. With the kids we have to get two rooms when we stay somewhere so up til recently it's always been cheaper to VRBO, but last trip to we took it was better for us to to just get two hotel rooms. We usually just take the camper (unless its freezing) and stay in it.
