    @SAM I was wondering if it would go over the Tab. While the outer edges are 13x13, the leg footprint is 10x10.

    The Tab will fit.  We lifted one side up and over and it cleared it nicely.  The Tab is only about 6.5 feet wide, so no problem.  Try it.  We were expecting hail and quickly put it up.  Someone on the forum had significant hail damage - never want to see that!

    It was a GREAT weekend. Raining early Friday morning made hitching up a bit take a little more time. It only rained early Sat morning and I was so comfy in the bed, I fell back to sleep. I decided not to put air in my 3" thermarest that is on the bed mattress. I think I hit the bed firmness sweet spot! Harvey even approved. 

    The rest of the time was good food and friends. Catching up and talking campfire trash. LOL. What's said at the campfire, stays at the campfire!

    I kept finding that bear in the snack bag. I have curtailed his Dorito habit and now he has found he likes Blueberry "Poptarts". Not the brand name, but the store brand. UGH! Talk about a finicky bear.

    Throw one of your patio rugs over the T@B for hail protection. If wind is in the forecast, I put ratchet straps on it to hold the rug in place.

    Just a big thanks to @Dalehelman, @Homebodyatheart, @2Cougs, & Dale Smith & Alex. Great BBQ, and was fun as usual chatting with all of you about T@Bs, mods, camping & general chit-chat! :joy: We'll do it again soon. I'll change up the menu next time. Maybe some pork shoulder for pulled pork sammiches! ;)
    @Homebodyatheart, This one is for you! :cowboy:=)

    @Ratkity Eric's bbq skills are well honed. The flavor is great but not overpowering, the pork rib meat tender and moist, same with the pork loin roast! That one you can cut with a fork! And the rest of this merry group of crazy Tabbers cook well, too! We never leave a gathering hungry, as we say - if you do it's your own fault!  =)

    See, even a silly thread like this sometimes gets derailed with serious topics. (And there ain't nuttin' more serious than good BBQ!)

    Thanks for the invite, ericnliz. The food sounds great, but the drive to the other coast is a deal breaker (for now)!  :-)

    Ok......Poor WolfT@B has been sittin' in the driveway TOO LONG! :heartbreak: Gotta go out today & start gettin' ready for our next adventure. Let's see....make sure battery is charged, remember to bring solar panels, fill propane tank, sanitize fresh water tank, check air in tires, bearings & brakes, re-stock clothes from last trip, replace missing wheel chock (somebody at Lincoln Rock got a freebie!), check tool inventory, restock outdoor kitchen bags,.................oh, almost forgot, replace the 5 gallon, 20 year old collapsible water jug that suffered a life ending puncture on the corner of a picnic table bench! :s Leave room for wife, leave room for wife, leave room for wife........ ;) Hmmm....Wonder if she'd notice the tackle box 'booster' seat? :o

    Aww @Ratkity, I suspect those DNR rangers would have nothing on Liz if a certain Eric packs her seat in the truck...again!

    @ericnliz how often do you sanitize your lines? Count your blessings I'd guess on the lost chock. At least it wasn't Liz! :rofl: Hi Liz!

    @Homebodyatheart, I had this odor from the tank and threw some line sanitizer I bought at the RV store in the P-traps. Then I put some in the fresh water tank. Took 3 rinses to get the little bit of sanitizer out of a 39 gal tank. For some reason, the geniuses at Riverside put a 1/2" OD pex line to drain that huge tank. I took a bucket and measured how long it took - 10 min to drain one gallon. It would take 6.5 hours to drain the entire tank. Wha????

    I went to the big box store and got a drill pump. Sorta cheaply made. I was desperate. Took my Ryobi cordless 18v drill (that's never failed me), and proceeded to create a pex 1/2" mip connection to a garden hose 3/4" connection. Voila.. and the pump came with a tiny length a hose so it would pee on your feet when you turned on the drill.

    Have to hold onto the drill pump and then use your foot to stop the outlet hose from giving you a bath... I measured the output of water and it would take me 30ish minutes to drain the tank. That's 30 minutes of holding the trigger for a cordless drill on highest speed (1200 rpm). ow. Two and a half drained batteries later, the tank was empty. 

    Complained to a sympathetic friend. After the laughter stopped, she told me to get a drill that was at least 2800 rpm (uh, impact driver + drill) and get another solidly built pump. At that speed and using that pump, it'll drain 750 gallons in 1 hour. w000t! Gotta love Amazon Prime.

    Ok, now there's another problem... I dropped my female cap to my filter end of my water hose into the invasive English ivy on the side of my fence. It ate it. It's gone. It's like a Stephen King short story about the vines that grow faster than Kudzu. I've ripped up ivy from here to yonder. No shiny brass cap. Out comes the weed killer.... I've had enuff... "GET OFF MAH LAWN!" She said with an evil eye and a scary grin. In her hand was weed killer concentrate. Forget dilution, them invasive plants were gonna be history! Of course, she forgot that she was going to track weed killer to and from the outdoor faucet as she flushed her water tank..... ut oh. ... pictures to come. I gotta get a badge for this!

    @Ratkity, Are you SURE one little Harvey dude doesn't have your female filter end cap? (Betting he's holding it hostage for confiscating his Doritos!) :rofl:
    ('Ya might wanna take a peek in the "snacks" bag, not only for Harvey, but your cap as well!) Just follow the crumb trail........... ;)
