A slight Hiccup in the Plans.

This was our weekend to stay in town (Marlys haircut), so we went out to look at RV parks for the Truck Camper.

The good news is that we found a couple of really nice one.

The bad news is that because of micro bursting in the area of the foothills truck campers need to remain attached to the truck so that they don't get blown over. Now understand that this TC weights in at close to 5K and a few of the trailers we saw at the parks may have been in the 4K range, there were no exceptions. They are probably right in that the windstorms on the Front Range can be incredible.

We will need to refine our RV park research to areas probably east of I-25.

On another subject, the Molesworth Sideboard is coming along.

The carcass is built and next weekend I will finish the doors and drawers.

We had a heck of time finding the right stain and lacquer dye this weekend, finally going to Rockler. Marlys even let me go in unescorted, but she came in after I didn't leave fast enough to make sure my list hadn't expanded.

I ended up ordering the "hammered upholstery nails from Van Dykes (should have started there) and the next item on the "pick-up list" is the maroon leather for the top.
