I just finished "All the Pretty Horses" by Cormac McCarthy. It was a great book and I really enjoyed his illustrative way of writing.

April, another night with YM at ophir. Took my boys as well. June, two night at a friend's property in manorlands by Christmas meadows. Another night off mirror lake highway. July, Clyde lake backpacking with YM and the rest of Northern Utah. Got rained out for the second night. 😒 I was still...

The Killer Angels. It’s about the battle at Gettysburg from the perspective of the generals. It gives perspective from both sides of the battle. Not knowing a ton about it I thought it was really interesting. I read the Pillar of Light series by Ken Follett and enjoyed them. I’ll have to look...

Is the WD hitch adding the weight to the front axle of the truck or the trailer? My dad's 2010 tundra squatted pretty bad with the trailer load and I encouraged him to add air bags which made a huge difference. I didn't notice any real squat in my truck when I towed it home. I'll have to look...

@J-mobzz that's exactly what my parents used on this trailer but they have a special hitch with a spot for the ball to connect there.

At what point do you need a weight distribution hitch? The hitch weight is listed as 495 lbs and the gross vehicle weight is 5000 lbs. I'll be towing it with my 5.3l 2018 GMC Sierra. My dad had a friction sway bar hitch thing he used but wants to keep that for his new trailer. There was a 6k...

I went to state trailer in redwood on my way home and got the battery box. They had trojan t105s ($195) and an interstate 6v deep cycle extreme ($190) something or other. I'm not going to justify that kind of money on this trailer from 2007. I went from there to the WVC Costco and got the two 6v...

I didn't buy anything so I guess I'll keep reading. I do want to have 2 batteries regardless of whether they are 6v or 12v. I do wonder if these interstate 6v batteries are built to a higher quality standard as the Trojans. I haven't been able to find a price for the other ones but if Costco...

I'm at Costco now. Interstate 12v group 24 Marine is $80. 140 AH. 2 @ 140= 280 AH Interstate 12v group 27 marine is $90. 160 AH. 2 @ 160= 320 AH Interstate 6v GC2 is $105. 210 AH 2 @ 210 = 12v and 210 AH You guys aren't helping me very much... I thought this would be pretty unanimous to go...

How many watts of solar is that? I assume that you leave your fridge stocked at your property so you need it to run between trips. I don't think that is a need for us but I am curious enough about solar to call it a phase 2 project. Something I can move to a future trailer in a few years.

My parents upgraded their camp trailer and I got a very good deal on their old one since my boys are the favorite grandchildren. Its a 2007 Jayco 23B which is a hybrid with the drop down beds at both ends and a little slide out for the couch. Its got a few issues that will need to be...

Apparently Walz doesn't drink coffee and prefers diet mt dew. Got a dui in 1995 after getting pulled over for speeding. Stopped drinking after that. Joined the national guard at 17 and served for 24 years. Left in 2005 when he decided to run for Congress because he didn't want to violate the...

That's basically my dream car. Just like that. Stock. Pretty. Shiny.

Wait, are we saying that it's bad to work as a public servant (teacher) and then retire with a pension? Like all the cops and firefighters and city and federal employees? I'm just trying to get my lines straight for when I get back to the office tomorrow.

I heard on during lunch that Walz and his wife were both public educators. They have no stocks or mutual funds and own no property. They had a house, but when he became Governor they sold it and moved into the Governors mansion. They are living off teacher pensions and the stipend he got for...

Who is going to explain to me how to feel about Tim Walz? Its been out there for a while and, frankly, I'm a little disappointed @Stephen hasn't shared his essay yet on the topic.

I just finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. It's fiction about a 13 year old boy that survived an accident that kills his mom. It won a Pulitzer prize if that means anything to you. It's kind of gritty, but it sucked me in.

i eye balled it and then though the trans am is too mainstream for Stephen so I guess you want cocaine back in coke a cola.

What’s your address and have your kids ever seen a walrus swim?

Yup, I bought two on Monday afternoon spending $30 but had hoped I could instead spend pennies. I'll be installing the double deadbolts after work today.
