FLY THE FLAG: Saturday, September 11th, 2010

drfife — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:25:00 GMT

GET YOUR FLAG READY!

Please participate in the FLY THE FLAG campaign.:salute:

On Saturday, September 11th, 2010, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States.

Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this ninth anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. We do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.

Tell everyone you know to fly their flag on September 11, 2010.

River Breeze Campground

Crisco — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:00:30 GMT

Another great weekend with all my friends at the campground. I love this place but it's not the campground that makes it so special it's the people. RV's are the best people to hang out with. Everybody is so open and friendly. Yes, Maverick and I did spend some time together, ok a lot of time together. He lived up to his reputation of over indulging in the adult beverages but I only had ice water. I took care of him and kept him out of trouble. He's my buddy and you got to take care of your buddy's. We did have some female company part of this weekend and enjoyed there company. I know Maverick and he will probably send another post and call me a low down liar and tell you something totally different but Maverick lies. For those of you who have followed this thread, those pictures he posted last week of me that's not me. That's the fat guy from across the road that he hangs out with. He has a warped sense of humor and embarrasses me often. Oh, ask him about his gay lights. I didn't call them that a lady friend did. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day!

I routinely talk with other Sunnybrook owners about this website while we're camping. I met a couple last month at One-Mile USFSCG near Almont. Doberman, as she was called on SBTalk and if I understood her correctly, said they had lost contact after that website disappeared. She mentioned how, several years back, information from SBtalk had enabled her to get her 02 Titan roof replaced at no charge. I hope everyone is promoting the great support RVers can get here.

New Chain Saw time

norty — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:23:16 GMT

Well yesterday my old McCullough chain saw died. Have been looking for my "last" chain saw. I want one for occasional cutting around a 2 acre yard. Lots of small limbs. Looking to spend around $300 on one. Looking at Stihl, Echo, Husquavera and Poulan.

Have any of ya had any bad luck with these brands? I know Poulan is the old McCullough. I had my last one for 7 years and it worked flawlessly until the clutch locked up and the oil reservoir started leaking. It is not worth repairing per our local greasemonkey shop.

Losing a pet sux

It sux to lose a pet

A week ago Sunday, my daughter’s cat was vomiting white frothy stuff and we took her to the vet Monday morning. X-rays and blood work indicated a large (tennis ball sized) mass behind her stomach. We decided to try and save her with surgery – cost be damned. The vet said the mass was blood and fluid filled and had decaying tissue in it with no idea as to why or how it formed. After the surgery, she stayed in the hospital until Thursday and when we brought her home they said we would have to force feed her a gruel with a syringe 4 times a day. After a few days she seemed much more alert but still wouldn’t eat on her own. Sunday morning we fed her and decided to skip the noon force feeding and put down a plate of wet cat food to see if she would even try to eat. Evening came and she hadn’t eaten or drank anything so we went to the syringe. We noticed she seemed bloated even though she had not eaten or drunk anything. We called the vet who said to take her to the animal ER. They drew some fluid from her abdomen and did an ultrasound. The fluid was septic and the ultrasound showed fluid around the heart. That coupled with her advanced age (16 years old) made us consider putting her down. After talking with her vet and the ER doctor, the decision was made.

I buried her in the backyard that night, right where she liked to sit out in the sun.

Since my daughter moved to Texas, the cat had adopted me and had taken to curling up next to me at night in bed as well as laying on the recliner with me while watching TV.

It just sux.

Poor Paris Hilton

norty — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:04:38 GMT

She just can't get a break! Let someone use her purse and they left cocaine in it?

Ha, she has to get in the tabloids every couple of months and no one will ever slap her hand. Too bad there wasn't a Hilton hotel in Sugar Tit, SC

SunnyBrook something.com

BC Jim — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:22:25 GMT

Some time ago there was some flak about this forum using "SunnyBrook" as part of its name and URL. Well I just stumbled across "SunnyBrookRVs.com" which is the same as the factory site except for an extra "s" at the end. It has a disclaimer about no connection with the official SB. Hmmm...

Looks like this blow may have some impact on the Labor day weekend up the East coast.

Sure will pay to keep an eye on this one.

DW's Volvo needed brake pads all around...90 bucks per axle from Volvo....
I'm subscribed to Advance Auto Parts and received an email about a limited time offer....40 bucks off when puchase exceeds 100 dollars....Checked with their site and saw Wagner ThermoQuiet for 60 bucks per axle, then saw Wearever's for 26 bucks per axle...So now the dilemma...55 for the cheapies with 20% off...or 120 for the best with 40 bucks off....44 or 80....while I mulled it over I went back to the Advance site to check for the parking brake pad and lo and behold there was a 30 dollar rebate for the ThermoQuiet's...

Changed them out yesterday with the help of my oldest in about 2 hours (one wheel at a time) and taught him how to do a brake job...Next weekend I'll do the Suburban....

For all you guys that do your own work, it's well worth the time to sign up for the email offers from these types of sites...:thumbsup:

JEBar — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:45:17 GMT

:rant: while traveling down some back roads today my level of frustration finally reached a critical level .... fully realizing this won't be popular with some folks, I've never believed that it is right for folks on bicycles, mopeds or any unlicensed vehicle of any type to be allowed to ride them on a public road .... today their were packs of them which blocked the road, paid no attention to stop signs, and held up traffic by turning (in mass) in front of oncoming traffic .... to me, they pose a danger to themselves and to others ... :rant:

I feel better now ..:)
