Ladder Up

Adventure Location Rockport, Texas
Teams Location: Rockport, Texas

This video is fantastic from the shuttle SRB during launch and return to earth.

It has not seemed to be a very busy time here in Rockport. Last night a tally was made of some of the chores accomplished while here these few weeks.

Screen door latch replaced

A/C motor replaced

The Yak and all its gear sold

Repaired and finally gave up and replaced two fishing rods

Received my first tattoo

New camera received and put to work

Cut the bed platform down for more leg room

Installed lifting assistance on the bed platform

New air card antenna installed

New replacement light fixture installed

Rugs in the Castle changed out

Installed new lower gearing on my bike

Just thinking of all that activity makes me want another nap. We lazy fat men need to be careful we don’t use too much energy and interfere with naps.
A package that came in yesterday was a device to carry lawn chairs and ladders on the Castle’s permanent ladder.  My thanks go to Lloyd for the information on what has worked for him in his travels. He has been a great mentor to me in my travels. Check out his blog.

It appears that the ladder will ride very well on the Castle ladder.  This will make the back of the truck quite a bit quieter. If the teams ever move again it will seem like a lot less load without having to worry about a yak and the associated gear to pack away.
Simpler and lighter is definitely better when you are trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.

  1. That looks like a nifty gadget there for hauling stuff on the RV ladder.

  2. So glad to see you have it anchored down real good too. I hate having to drive around ladders in the middle of a freeway lane that people have lost.
