Sock color is my philosophy as well.
What's the purpose of socks?
Keep feet warm / dry / comfy.

Does sock purpose or effectiveness change due to color?
No

Ergo, sock color is eye candy, candy is colorful, doesn't have to match.

End of story.

Cheers Capt!! I was gonna go to Watkins Glen this weekend but my liver and credit card sure could use a break.....

I hear that.
My liver and wallet are both at the Olympic limit now......mind you the season ain't over yet.

Brother, the drinking season never seems to stop.... lol Fueled by work, daily life, camping, friends, relationships, ending of relationships...... ugh

The only way my 9 year old daughter will wear the same color socks is
A: you paid her to wear matching socks
B: there are no other clean ones to wear – except for the last two – which just so happens to match.
C. if you laid them out for her with rest of her clothes (which is too much work).

 

[Justwondering]

BudW - your daughter is a kindred spirit..

Is sitting on the roof of one of those RV's a good idea? I thought they had a rubber membrane roof; are you not worried about damaging it? Plus is that roof really deigned to support multiple people? Did you do special roof reinforcements for your spectator purposes? I like the addition of the railing. Is that permanent, or something that you install once you arrive on location of the race?

His roof definitely looks reinforced....almost looks like checker plate. I know my park model is aluminum. You can walk on it but I wouldn't want to party on it with other people.

The standard rubber membrane was removed as was the 1/8" luan wood below that. There is a metal frame work, by no means designed to hold the weight of 10 drunken men.... lol
I removed the rubber and 1/8 wood.
I put down 1/2" 4'X8' marine grade plywood. I covered that with Grace Ice and Water Shield UnderLayment. And then put 4'X8' sheets of aluminum diamond plate down. No worries about damage from chairs or trees! The safety railing is 1.25" Rigid Aluminum Electrical Conduit with 3/4" Rigid Aluminum Conduit posts. The safety railing is easily assembled and disassembled. Once assembled, I teather the chairs and 8'X8' pop up tent to the rails of the safety railing using some 12AWG Solid Wire. Upon being disassembled, the safety railing lays on the roof and is tethered with the same wire.

Very nice!!!
I'd do that to my trailer but then I'd be driving my buddy to the ER every weekend after he fell off.

 

[Darth-Car]

Well done ob that roof build. That is one rockin' party machine!

Redneck innovations.......

My wife is all about lighting. It has to be the ultimate mood setting brightness, colour, etc....

Apparently according to her our outside deck lighting was too bright and we can't have that so......I made a redneck dimmer box. Now she can just dial it in.

And of course that's where I'll be this weekend.

I like it, Captain.

A question I have, is will it be in a location it can get wet?

I like it, Captain.

Yes.....but.....I wrapped it in fashionable foil tape and I always leave it unplugged when it's not in use. I've blown up more than enough stuff in my younger years to know the precautions to take.....lol.

Anchors Away
After the first real good wind storm I could tell that was wife was scared by the rocking of the trailer so I ordered some mobile home tie downs. I used grade 8 3/8" bolts on the front anchors and 5/8" bolts on the remainder. I have five done and three more to go. I have to turn them into the ground with a 2 1/2' pry bar. It is a good work out.

 

[Jack Meoff]

Well the annual Madoc agricultural fair is coming in two weeks. I never miss it. Horse draws, cow judging and the midway. Hoping the weather cooperates so I can take the Caravelle.

And of course they'll be crowning the new Miss Madoc Agricultural Ambassador

She eats right!

 

[Jack Meoff]

She eats right!

Lol......they all do up there.

 

[Jack Meoff]

Well.....another trailer season in the books. I shut it down and did all the winterizing yesterday. We still go up though. Now it'll be so quiet up there....and how can you resist watching this at night.
