 Well, father s day just passed and that s always a good thing for camping men! I had a hunch I was getting a few camping-related things I wanted and sure enough, Mrs. Sacto came through, and then some [:)].
 
 She bought me the Coleman grill/stove/griddle combo and also (unexpected) one of those lightweight aluminum folding tables.....both from Camping World. I can t wait to try them out this weekend at the Gold Rush Rally!
 
 So did any of you dads get anything camping related for father s day?

 SactoCampersMy DD s came thru with a folding hammock, what s great is they picked it out themselves. The quality is great and it sets up like a camping chair. I was very pleased, can t wait to go camping next weekend so I can give it a test snooze.
 Happy Camping

 SactoCampersWell I went the other way for my husband this year.
 He was given a Malt Scotch Whisky.  Single malt THE BALVENIE, doublewood aged 12 years.  I hope that one day he finds the time to sit, relax and sip on it, maybe when he retires.

 SactoCampersAfter spending virtually *all* weekend helping some friends remodel their shop (even had to leave the house before the family awoke yesterday morning [>:] ), I stumbled home to find a Shrimp, Wild Rice, and Broccoli dinner, a batch of warm Toll-House chocolate chip cookies waiting for me for dessert, and two *Very Special Cards* addressed to Daddy-- attached to a Coleman " Camping Drip Coffeemaker" .
 
 What a nice way to end the weekend. We ll use that coffeemaker on every dry camping trip we take.

 SactoCampersRaymond got a riding lawn mower so he can get the lawn done quicker, a Homelite Combo set of an 18 volt weed wacker and a, 18 volt hedge trimmer, 3 pairs of his favorite loafers and a power washer so we/I can wash the campers (drive way, mini van, truck siding....)

 SactoCampersDH got a 2003 Ford F350 to go with my new 2003 Rockwood Midprofile Ultralight 5th wheel...[:D] We got a spectacular deal for our PU, one we could not pass up, and this puts us one step closer to our dream of full timing!

 SactoCampersI was able to have our DIL and granddaughter with us for the weekend and then our son came back from a meeting to spend the night. All of us were there for breakfast and then off to Best But to get a wireless router and PCMCIA card. After an hour on the phone with a tech person, we were up and running. Now both of us can be on line together.
