TWO WOLVES One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. "One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority...

How you know the Economy is in the Dump I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. When I ordered a burger at McDonald's , the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient...

Lawyers should never ask a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer. At a trial in a small southern Mississippi town that shall go unnamed, the prosecuting attorney calls his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you...

Ten Commandments Some people have trouble with all those 'shall's' and 'shall not's' in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the 'King James' into ' Jackson County ' language.....no joke (posted on the wall at Cross...

The new forum design is a nice change. My question concerns the new "header" section (all forums, general, etc.) It always defaults to the "general" header which omits some of the sections (Around the Campfire). I like to view all the forums and select the "all forums" to display them. However...

While sitting beside the fire with 6 inches of snow outside (rare for south MS), I was rummaging through some photos I took last summer on one of many motorcycle day rides. One of those rides took me through Clara, MS, a rural community in the southeastern part of the state. I happened to stop...

SMART *** Two businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, "I bet any minute now some senior is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what...

I have lived through hurricanes Camille and Katrina. Saw a few other amazing things in 64 years, but I think this one may take the cake. I wonder what Al Gore thinks of this. http://www.theledger.com/article/20100114/NEWS/100119871?Title=Miami-Man-Dies-of-Hypothermia

If anyone is in the market for a medium duty TV, I ran across this on "Crankyape" (repo auction site). If interested check it out. There are a bunch of repo RVs on it also, but I don't recall ever seeing a Heartland. http://www.crankyape.com/default.asp?pg=DisItems&Cat=12 Scroll down to item 17279.

No, this has nothing to do with New Orleans. It is the Char-Broil "Oil-less" turkey fryer. But it is for cooking a lot more than just turkeys. Glenda presented me with one of these as an early Christmas gift before Thanksgiving. I roasted a couple of chickens just to get the hang of the thing...

We were sitting on the bench at the bus stop at Fort Wilderness (DisneyWorld) waiting for the next ride. Two other couples were talking and one of the ladies was addressed as "Ping". I just had to ask,"do you play golf". She didn't but the kicker - her last name was Woods. Several years ago...

Santa is dropping off a couple of Schwinn cruisers on his rounds this Christmas. Now I have to install a ladder rack to carry them on our camping trips. I need recommendations for brands and sources. Did a search but didn't find much. Thanks.

I finally got the chance to run the truck and 3610RE across a CAT Scale. The truck was full of fuel with me and the DW onboard. The Bighorn had empty holding and fresh water tanks and loaded for camping. Truck 7,350# Pin 2,930# Truck Axles Front...

We don't get a lot of freezing weather in south Mississippi, but usually get a few sub 20 degree days every winter. This will be the first winter with the new 2010 3610RE bighorn and the lack of low point drains concerns me some. With the mild weather we plan to make a few short camping weekends...

I am looking to upgrade my satellite antenna setup - currently using a dinky tripod mount. I don't want to go the roof mount route to keep the ability to move the dish for trees and other obstacles. The Winegard model RD-9046 looks like what I'm looking for. Anyone using this unit? Comments +/-.

We are booked in River Plantation Campground in Pigeon Forge/Sevierville TN Oct. 25 - Nov. 6. Stop by if you are in the area.

While doing a little system checking today I discovered a little issue with the mounting plate for the hydraulic (slide) pump on the 3610RE. The pump assembly is mounted on an aluminum plate attached to the framing with self-tapping metal screws. I found that there were only two screws...

I crawled under the Bighorn today doing a little routine inspection of the axles/suspension/tires. Noticed a little uneven wear on the tires. It only has about 5K miles and the little rubber tips on the outer edge of the tires are not wearing exactly even - no big deal. I have not had any...

This is just a heads-up to anyone who has a PacBrake PRXB exhaust brake on their truck. I had mine installed July 08 by Camping World in Alabama. The unit has an electric air compressor which was mounted on a cross member under the truck bed in front of the rear axle. It would occasionally blow...

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux are out in the woods squirrel hunting when Thibodeaux collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. Boudreaux whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "I think my friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm...

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... barefoot... BOTH ways...

When we started to leave the campground this morning the 40 inch TV in the rear of the 3610RE would not retract down into the cabinet. Checked all the fuses/breakers and they were good. Removed the TV from the mounting and checked all the wiring for any disconnects. Did not have my multimeter...
