Tips and tricks on drinking beer while camping!
Well after our last trip I will no longer be drinking my beer straight from the can! It’ll most likely be out of my insulated mug with a lid on it.
On our most recent trip to the Grand Mesa last week I took the final gulp of my beer and felt something in my mouth. Thinking a pine needle or some other forrest detritus had fallen in my can I tried to identify it with my tongue. We’ll that’s about when the light bulb, however dim it may be at times, went off in my head. At about that same time is when I felt the burning sensation and thought, Bee!!!! Yep I spit out a yellow jacket but not after getting stung on the tongue and inside of the lower lip.

Lucky for me the yellow jacket was half drowned and half drunk so I did not get a full wack from him. But none the less it was a bit uncomfortable. Can’t believe after 50 years it finally happened to me. No more open beers at camp! Bee careful!
Re: The Truck Charging Trailer thread...
Newbies should still confirm placement of a charge wire. There have been more than a few owners who found that they were not charging their TaB battery because the wrong 4 pin to 7 pin adapter was wired, etc. Also important to check if a brake wire was placed - preferably ground and brake wire 10 gauge. Although it should be obvious if a brake controller is hard wired, we went home without a brake wire when we told the installer that we planned to use a RF controller. Had to return for the brake wire.
Re: Double-Hinged Seat Back Storage Access Mod
Good job @BrianZ and @tybladesmith! You've been busy! I've gone from trying to figure out how to get my [email protected] into the garage to selling the house and building on another piece of our property so I can have an 8' garage door and plenty of clearance. I think it will get the nod for the most expensive [email protected] mod ever! 
But once done I can get back to real mods done out of the weather, assuming I'm not confined to a rubber room.

Re: What Goes Where...The Dry Goods Dilemma
@marchule. Dang! That's impressive. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect something this comprehensive. Well done!
Like you (sorta) I gutted all the drawers and cubbies and started over. It was revealing to say the least!
That said, for me, it's still a bit like hiding your own Easter Eggs! 🤣

Re: TAB 400 door lock problem
The screwdriver approach worked for me. Way easier than fussing with washers, adhesive and language I do not approve of….
Dumbest noob battery question of 2021?
Hi [email protected] Nation:
Continuing saga of battery gremlin chasing enters a new and stoopid phase.
Reconnecting Interstate SRM-24 battery (OEM from 2017 perhaps?) and OF COURSE I didn't take a picture of the wires connected to the battery.

One red, one green (red goes to fuse holder, green comes out) and two white leads. Pretty sure the two whites are NEGATIVE, but want to make sure before connecting.
Very likely this SRM-24 battery is dead anyway - failed a test at the Interstate dealer - just want to get this right in my head, since battery issues seem to cause a fair amount of problems in [email protected] world.
Contemplating an SRM-27 as a replacement, just hooking the old 24 up to check fuses etc. in trailer once shore power is connected.
TIA,

Re: How to clean anything at the campsite (even dog vs. skunk!)
The latest thing that had to be cleaned was left over from someone else that had been at the campsite. Apparently, pork rib bones were thrown in the fire pit. Mom had to distract her little 10 week old service pup with a ball so he didn't clean up someone else's mess. To this day, he drools horribly if I cook ribs. LOL.

Nice spice rack! I like the use of that space. How did you attach it to the wall?

Re: Idle-off-topic-chit chat - Part 2
One piece of chocolate cake or two - I need a quick answer as I'm almost done with the first and I still have a half a glass of milk left. And after all, it's Friday night, it's raining, chilly - Oh poor me!

@Verna- No… you keep a bottle of white around in case I drop in to visit!
