Too much convention watching will do that to ya.;)

Ya, as you know with the Duce, doing upgrades in an experimental to make it better/safer is not a problem like it can be with the certified planes, but FAA attitude on this appears to be changing a little, and holds some promise that upgrading legacy aircraft will become a bit easier in the future.

Cary, The next time you need to replace your wet cell battery in the plane, you might want to consider an AGM. There are Odyssey batteries approved for certified aircraft now. A friend has one in his 172 that has been working well. I have two in the GlaStar since it's all electric. With the...

Love your TV, and really love your storage building! Did you lose your baby moons?

You're making me hungry! That's one of my favorite breakfasts. Might have to try that biscuit recipe. Haven't had the greatest luck making biscuits, so usually put it on some of my homemade English muffin toasting bread instead.

...alas I can only stand back, and listen to all the intricacies of the roasting & brewing processes used by you coffee connoisseurs. I had to give up brewed coffee about 25yrs ago after being diagnosed with GERD, which responded well to stopping all coffee for about 6 months. It didn't respond...

Yep, having an empty cabin to climb into after a long days drive, without having to unload it would sure be nice, especially for one night stops along the way on a road trip, or even just rest stops when you need 40 winks before getting back on the road. That rack & Thule cargo box sounds like...

We don't have the rack on top of our 550, and finding room for everything in the TV is sometimes a little difficult (depending on who is on the outing :rolleyes:), so we have a sacrificial queen sheet that goes over the top of all the bedding before packing up things like the Gazelle, the Clam...

Yes, we have some smaller ones( about 3x5) that we use inside the side tents, but now that you mention it, having one under the tent might help protect the floor, and keep it cleaner / dryer when it's time to pack up. Those weigh just a few ounces, and roll up to be easily packed into tight spaces.

Just got home from the AirVenture event at Oshkosh. I had the Gazzele with, and really appreciated the upper zippered screens on all of the sides except for the door panels. Both the Gazelle and Clam also have a skirt that goes out about 10 inches over the ground at the base of each side panel...

I just tried to come up with my version of what the others here had done before me. I was trying keep both the leg bracket, and wall mounts centered on their respective edges for what I thought would be the best and balanced strength, but I didn't see anyone else mention the hatch closure issue...

With the somewhat smaller footprint of the Gazelle vs Clam we found that the Dometic placed on the side table would push more against the wall of the Gazelle than it did on the Clam, which it barely touched. I had planned on getting some materials from the mother-ship to build a new one, but...

Well at least you won't have any trouble finding your camp even if you go to the CICO!;)

....well the AC at our home finally had to be utilized this past weekend as the dew points creeped into the 70's. Never had it as a kid, so didn't put it in when we built our super insulated home 39yrs ago, but what we found, was that while even when the outside temps would occasionally hit...

Sorry to hear that. I saw they were out of stock earlier this year, but were available again some time later, so maybe that is the case again, or did they tell you they were probably going to be discontinuing production?? I see they still show the Gazelle G6 Cool Top available. Did you consider...

...one of the few movies I own!

Yep, no free lunches. Most things are a compromise of some sort, and the EPA is why most chippers and tuners have to say on their websites that their products are for off road use only. It did give me pause however, wondering how pulling our CI with the Jetta or Passat TDI's and getting 32-34...

...look quick! It's bound to change soon. Got the plane out this morning for the first time since I did my Biannual Flight Review about 10 days ago.

....put it to music, and you might have a hit!

If it turns out the way the Malone tune I had done on my 2005.5 Jetta TDI, it will be worth it. It gave the engine a 30% increase in both HP & torque, along with a modest increase in mpg of about 2-3. If I wanted to pass a car going 55 on a two lane road, a down shift was no longer needed, just...
