I started installing the foot well thingy under the brake and gas pedals
today, but had to stop because 4:00 o'clock rolled around and it was beer
time. I'll finish up tomorrow !

This is an excellently crafted product, made by gene I believe, and should
outlast me, my Kingsley, and most of the people on the net.

A little tip for installation is to trim off the outside edges...no more
than 1/8 of an inch to remove the drooling and dribbling from the
manufacturing process and this will make it just flexible or soft enough to
easily install and remove for cutting around the steering column and gas
pedal ....since you will be installing and removing this thing a half dozen
times for perfect fitting ...

As others have said...'Sure, I'll have another'..Oops, I meant to say, 'Just
what I did' !

Dan

I had the snow blower running today! We got 4 to 6 inches but by the end of
the day, what I cleared was almost bare from the warm weather...our climate
is really messed up !
The next door neighbour obviously has a better attitude than me...he was out
with his blower today, one with a drink holder, and had a can of Coors in it
at 10:30am....he has a travel trailer, that must be the difference..<g>

Where are you in BC? We spent some time in Nanaimo, and really liked it
there. We also went to Denny Allen place on the same trip. Nice country!!

See ya

Mike in NS

Mike... We are in Kelowna and while we do get some snow in winter, it usually does'nt stay long. I did have to pull out the blower, but thankfully, that does,t happen often...guess that,s why so many Canadians move to B.C......I think they've discouvered us !!
Still looking forward to the spring and happy days in the "26'ER."

I bought that 29.5' stretch in Abilene Tx., that I have bub'd the "Texas Mickey". Will go and get it in March, and run it over to Jinny K's for some inspection. Will keep everyone up to date.

If there are 2 WalMarts in your area...alternate ! <VBG>
I did that in South Dakota one time at 2 truck stops...didn't want to wear
out my welcome.
My Missus is having a problem with my 'collection' of 'stuff' and before
anything new can arrive, something has to go.....maybe I should pack a bag
for her .

Mike....getting read to sleep outdoors for the night

Mike, are you still coming to the warm country or are you snowed in? If you wait for the thaw just meet us in Patterson, La. for the Spring convention.
