Walter's Inaugural Voyage

[hose-man]

HoooooRaaayyyyy !!!!!!!!

The roof is replaced, the tires are new, all the systems are cleaned and tuned, support for sagging floor welded in,  A/C installed, lights replaced, curtains sewn, cusions & mattresses replaced,  cleaned cleaned cleaned, and new flooring installed.   It's finally time for the pay off.   A fun family trip to our local ski hill.    Snow was a little late in arriving this year so its the kid's first ski day(s) of the season.    It was fun to have hot homemade food & a warm bed available slopeside.

Congrats and good deal  Nice looking rig !! And a beautiful family to boot. You got to be doing some thing right keep it up. Love the night time pic, way cool !!!!!

Good deal!  Nice rig, nice family.   

'Course, you did make one mistake in the post:  You used the dreaded "c" word when referring to the drapery.  That's even worse than the horrible "s" word when referring to frozen rain.   W%

Wow! Beautiful rig and fantastic family.  The "S" word is ok by me.  Need to make new "C's" for mine.  Ed

Be sure to submit the night photo next year when it comes time for the next calendar.

That night shot took a couple tries to get right & I'm still not satisfied with it.    Maybe someone with some photoshop skills can mitigate the low light granular effect.   My little point & shoot cant do any better.     

I'd be glad to see it in the calendar once its a little touched up though.

[OldEdBrady]

I don't think the night shot is so bad.  The Winnie is clearly visible.  The lights behind it kinda accent it.  And the rest of the stuff that would have been in the photo might have distracted from the main attraction:  The Winnie!

Tina.   Emailed you the original on that pic.    Why does Tina from Maryland know Bogus Basin when she sees it in a pic?   Im thrilled that you know it.   We really love living nearby.   I grew up skiing Bogus & love sharing with my kids.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.   I forgot to list among the improvements that I added the awning.   I'm particularly proud of that one.   Its a Carefree spool with A&E arms.    All of which i got for free from a local dealer's bone pile thanks to a forum like this.   An RV owner was annoyed that even though his awning only had a little damage, the insurance company wanted the whole thing replaced.    BING!   The light went on!  I realized that RV dealers must have a stack of partly broken awnings & other parts.    This is how I got the parts to assemble my awning, ladder & AC shroud.   All thanks to conversations like these, and a little elbow grease.

Now that's what it's all about.  Enjoying life with a Winny and family!

Tina from MD love Bogus Basin.. went to a friends wedding in Boise and he told me after I made my reservations to fly about it.... so tosssed my skis on the plane and spent every spare second on the slopes... actually had to stop skiing the back side when I became the only one skiing it and darkness was falling and the snow was fresh and deep.... best place I ever skiied. I still have a "Bogus" sticker on my truck...

Tina
PS everyone else flying in was going to that big resort out there.. told me Bogus was for "locals"... and that was fine with me... no lines, nice folks...
