Jeffery In Alabama’s Trailer and I assume his lovely wife.
Cooking steak on the grill, what better activity camping. I couldn’t get the image to rotate. But then again Jeffery is slightly off bubble…

Goose Pond Colony Resort, AL. This is what camping is all about! Out of Jeffery’s window.
Taking the toys…
Future of Camping?

You can keep your future camping and I wouldn’t want those tent campers for neighbors if they gonna just it there and watch your tent blow away, assholes.
Hey, funny emblem there for macgyvering, I should use that as an email signature adder
ps Looks peaceful Jeffery
ps Grandson, Cederq?
Could be, he just said “My Westin on the right.”
Yes, it is a grand. We were at Goose Pond Colony this past week/weekend for the first bass tournament of this school year. Westin and his partner, Jayce (both 8-9 yrs.) finished 2nd in the Jr. division and 13th overall out of 138 boats. That photo is from last May when they won the state championship in the Jr. Div. It was based on points accumulated. The scholarship checks were for winning that particular tournament that day.
…………and yes, that is my lovely wife.
That butt ugly futuristic camper sure as heck AIN’T “the future of camping”.
Or glamping, for that matter.
LOVE the new “aero tents”, looks like a fun way to travel…
Boy, that one “aero tent” took off like it was on a mission.
A pop-up tent blowing away is an annoyance. The “Future of Camping” blowing over (which it will) is gonna be a $300,000+ disaster.
All the toys: Few weeks ago in Western Mass I saw a tidy little camper on the Mass Pike. It was behind an F350 with a kayak, sweet road bike and hot mountain bike all on the roof rack, and a canoe lashed down in the truck bed. I don’t know about boats to judge, but if they were of the same class as the bikes (which I do know) then they must have been good stuff. All that put a big smile on my face. I thought “there goes a happy man. Good on you, bro!”
Last one: what the hell is even that? Some kind of fucked up bigeminy with alternate sinus beats. Someone get that guy on a Holter.
All I know, if that presented in ED or on my Med/Surg floor I would be calling you stat! What would throw me and I am not sure how I would chart the trailer representation… RV Aortic Valve Stenosis or RV Atherosclerotic?
“RV abomination”.
Not sure if that’s an official ICD-11 designation, but I’m sticking to it.
Back in my old job I was called “MacGyver” often. I had a knack for troubleshooting that I honed into a fine art. I dearly loved the irony of tackling a quarter million dollar instrument with my Swiss Army Knife. The two most essential tools for the robotics line (that always disappeared from any shop toolbox) were a Japanese Phillips screwdriver and a 2.5mm ball-end hex wrench. I bought my own and absolutely refused to loan them out.
I used to work in an MRI group. Because of the insane magnetic fields (the magnet is always on) the service guys had beryllium-copper tools that they left in the equipment room. Then people discovered them, and would use them as pry bars or other stupid abusive shit. So I totally understand not letting idiots get their mitts on your tools.
In the same vein, JIS screwdrivers are not to be left unattended lest they walk. (I wonder if people in Japan are equally protective of standard Phillips drivers that they own. Hmmmm.)
Mike_C and Greg, what are Japanese (JIS) Phillips screw drivers and how do they differ from our normal Phillips? Update I found JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard. Now my tool nerd has arisen and I must find a local source and sink scads of money into them.
If I understand it correctly, a standard Phillips is designed to “cam out” at a certain torque, making it hard to get a tight screw loose (or vice-versa) without undue down pressure. The JIS Phillips stay in the screw slots for better control. I could be entirely wrong, but that’s my experience.
When the story broke years ago about the software virus infecting the Iranian nuclear processing centrifuges PLC’s (primary logic controllers), I immediately checked out our robotics lines PLC’s. Ours were Mitsubishi, not Siemens as the Iranian ones were.
Any idea what it is on the side of the eighth one down (just after the bicycle camping)?
It puts me in mind of a mini server reach from a datacenter.
Fedboi’s rig monitoring and transmitting data back on campers – Camping indicates a little bit of prepper mentality and its easy pickings for them to compile a list and database of.
I have seen similar rigs and it looks like a poor picture of it’s outside kitchen setup with cabinets and bin and a weird looking refer?
