Thought it was mailed earlier this week but found it this morning. Will get it in the mail on Monday.

Oh yeah that heat and air is nice. But as high as this propane is getting all I am using is a small electric heater. And this is the first trip out since I converted the hot water heater to either electric or gas. I have not used any gas at all!

I don't think she or I are worried about some darned check from you. I just sent her back home about 30 minutes ago. I called her on Thursday morning and told her that I needed her up here and she came up Thursday night. Between setting up this store and all the other things I have on my plate up here I have needed the extra help. This is the second weekend in a roll that she has made a 680 mile round trip to help me. This store was a total mess and almost empty when I opened it up.

I guess the front yard had grown so much that a neighbor mowed our yard the other day for her. She said she came home and the front yard was mowed!Between taking care of her dad, doing stuff for me in Springfield, Buffalo, Lineville and dealing with my parents she hasn't had any extra time to work around the house. Plus the fact that she had been working on our taxes! YUCK! And I guess our son has been putting in alot of extra overtime at the Nixa Police department he hasn't even had time to mow our yard either.

I have almost finally gotten this store setup I have a few more items to put prices on and then I have to remop the floors and it will finally be done!

Hales dumped a 53' trailer load of stock on me a week ago Tuesday night. It took me until about 1 pm last Thursday to get it unloaded. Then I got another 53' trailer load last Thursday night about 8:30 pm that had to be unloaded and turned right around. Got it done about 12:30 am last Friday morning.

I can't complain I have a store full of first rate product! I have stuff stacked to ceilings! And I am starting to get alot of customers coming in.

Sounds like you will have the stores in top notch shape in plenty of time. I put my electric heater in when I had it up earlier. Will try not to use the propane if I don't have to. They stove that can be used inside or out is also gas. Used mine a few times on my old camper instead of starting a fire in the summer time. They did fill the tank up for me when I picked it up though. Can't wait for camp to try it out.

We almost ended up with one of those but I wanted a shower! Your camper sure looks nice. LOL a lot better than PW's tents! Does it hand crank up or electric crank up? I will tell you it looks like the costs of used RV's is really coming down. I know a guy who got a 25 foot trailer for $2500 and it was really nice.

Our next one is going to have a washer, dryer in it! And it's going to be one of those all season units that has built in tank heaters. Plus its going to be a gooseneck also.

If you were like me and in the dog house most of the time at home you would be sleeping in it in the driveway already!

That is what is nice about only living 15 minutes away from Bucksaw. Actually I have a good friend from work that lives at the turn off to Bucksaw just after you turn off of U hwy. So only a mile or so to the camp ground. When I had my camper before I left it at his house a lot to save pulling it down everytime. Went to the dreaded Wal-Mart last night and bought supplies for the camper. Soap, shampo, paper towels, plates and cups. Even got a fancy dancy hot dog or marshmello roasting stick for the kids. Last but not least a couple half gallons of dark Canadian flavored drinks. Guys from work are camping over the weekend so I may go down and camp with them and just stay for the whole 10 days. Will see what the weather brings.
