Chris,
When you're in Houston, next, we can get some good catfish. Lot's of ways to cook it, Cajun, fried, or just about anything in between. A light batter fried is really good with a cold beer.
Get that red bird fired up and get down here.

I have to be Very careful on the seafood I try.. All shellfish is out, period.. I have a seafood allergy, some stuff I can eat.. (cod is OK). my normal way of attempting is to try just a few bites in a controlled environment..

I personally like catfish fine but the woman doesn't... And I Don't keep fish if it won't feed both of us!

Hey, I was looking through the forums for someone working on a Thomas Vista. I have had!International Diesel engine, TV 3600 chassis (I need to name it already) for roughly 21 days. I have gutted it (seats, rails, lift) put a base floor down and am constructing ways to lock everything down securely. I am set to depart in 3 days and am looking for tips about adding anything starting with just the base? Or since you have been on this tour any suggested spots?

Sincerely,

Dang, we're just into Cheyenne WY. We're headed south east. Looks like we'll miss you.

I did know a good fabricator outside of tampa but he's usually booked. I'll see if i can get contact number. He usually builds rock crawlers.

I think we are staying in this general area for a few days, there is a park with free camping nearby, if I can find done fishing spots that's the weekend.

Trailer Hitch Manufacture Services in Tampa Bay - Dover Welding and Machine, Inc.

This guy is pretty good - just off I-4 and I-75.
Sometimes busy - sometimes not - I had him do a hitch last year- and plan to have him install one on the bus soon.

So now I"m in Denver. What is there to do in Denver?

I waited weeks to be able to go to a Microcenter and they didn't even have the part I needed. Amazon really needs to expand their locker program, I used them a lot in Florida but they forgot about most of the rest of the country. Anyway I need a new 30mm fan for my toilet vent and I haven't worked out how to acquire one otherwise...
