Maki2 Caballo Loco and some Escapees parks have work shops as well that might work for you with proper planning. You might want to check them out sometime if you ever have a building problem you can’t resolve.
Thanks for posting the idea. I am well aware of those options but did not need them as I travel with tools.Maki2 Caballo Loco and some Escapees parks have work shops as well that might work for you with proper planning.

i don't know if you are in a state that allows medical marijuana or not, but I have terrible pain from a reverse shoulder replacement and the other shoulder is just as bad. I use Mary Jane's cannabis infused salve, 270 mg thc and 90 mg cbd. It works fast and lasts 10-12 hours. There are many other cannabis infused salves out there but get one with a higher thc number. I hope you get some help from the pain.Son here one more day. No idea how he’ll complete project. I helped more then I should have yesterday. My pain level is off the charts today. I feel like I’m letting him down if I don’t help. So embarrassing when you can’t. So somehow I do... nothing I have touches the pain. What the heck... wish Me luck surviving today. Haha. Literally wake up with tears in my eyes from stupid pain. Insert swear words here!
I recommend folks listen to Maki, she's the voice of experience here. learned the same over 21 years in the Mil. tents do NOT do well in extreme weather conditions (ask me how my military 6 man Hex tent - VERY heavy duty - did in a typhoon in the Philipines a few, uh... OK, MANY years agoI do not understand why adults can't accept the fact that even an expensive Kodiak tent is no match for the strong winds and torrential rain that can develop from a thunderstorm cell passing through. ...if you do not take the time to put in multiple guy lines and good quality stakes. Plus of course flooding happens if you are in a low spot. That is what is happening to some of the people I am camping near.
Also if you are putting in stakes under trees the soil is unlikely to firmly hold a stake. The leaf litter and needle drop zone under trees decays into very soft topsoil under the tree canopy. Stakes pull right out of any soft soils. Expensive tents or cheap ones the the tent stakes of any type still won't grip firmly into the ground in that kind of terrain.
Ah, memories ... I camped once, on an educational outing, sponsored by a nationally known organization, where the leader said "people who snore, pitch your tents over there" ... "over there" was a dry riverbed, in the desert, not far from the mountains. (Flash flood anyone?) uh, no. who, me? I don't snore.I do not understand why adults can't accept the fact that even an expensive Kodiak tent is no match for the strong winds and torrential rain that can develop from a thunderstorm cell passing through. ....

I am sooo curious now, maki2! What do you make with the cardstock? (Sorry, I'd look back on your posts but this is a huge forum!)I am not cutting vinyl, I cut cardstock temporary adhered to plastic cutting mats.
I have designed a series of very small miniature buildings which I sell as precut kits in sets of 8 buildings. At present there are 47 unique buildings in the series. This is one of those sets of 8.I am sooo curious now, maki2! What do you make with the cardstock? (Sorry, I'd look back on your posts but this is a huge forum!)
And another time, where our supper entertainment was a park ranger lecturing on bear safety. Then they disposed of the supper trash inappropriately.... Woke up in the night to human voices softly saying "shoo -- shoo, bear, shoo." I had pitched my tent a bit off from the others, and they were shooing it straight towards me.
Well, we'll need to add this then so previous post works for you:I missed out on the 80's music scene. I could not name even one song from the musicians you mentioned.
Well, it wasn't trying to eat them, it was just trying to get into the poorly secured trash. Maybe they didn't want to tick it off? I didn't go over to investigate. At this point I had abandoned any desire to sit at their feet and learn from their woodsmanshipJust softly saying, "Shoo bear, shoo"....and not blood curdling screams?
Reminds me of being in Alaska (Way up in the North at Ft Wainwright) with the USAF. We'd go out onto the training ranges to run practice airstrikes out of the base in Fairbanks. We'd literally go "loaded for (Brown) bear" with Solid Slug and OO Buck loaded 12 gauges during their active season (I carried my own .44). In the winter we'd still carry at least 1 shotgun because of that rare "Winter Bear" that wakes from hibernation too early and is ravenous with no food around. Unbelievably dangerous. Only saw one once, it was literally a skeleton but it had caught a deer and never saw something go through a whole animal in such a short time...Maki2, it must be funny to watch. I did a lot of back country trips in canoe country. I learned where and how to pitch a tent when I was about twelve. You try to tell people they might want to reconsider where and how they are set up and you get the look... and then after the storm they pack up and leave cause they are embarrassed at their results. Of course, quality of tents and tents made for specific uses are things to consider too. In the Boundary Waters Canoe Area near me there have been some harrowing escapes from down trees and extreme storms a little common sense could have avoided.
Better day today, kids are gone and I rested some. Pain is way down, like about a six. More like I’m used to... sure gets quiet when five kids are no longer here. But plenty of kids at the beach here. I like the sound of kids having fun! 80’s for a few days... muggy too. Good timing on the sealing up the upper ceiling in the loft.
Our family took a vacation way back when... Canadian Rockies... every night we had beats in whatever campgrounds we were at. Must be a thing in Canada . One evening I was eating my supper kinda on the front seat of our car with door open and feet outside. I heard something on the other side of my open door and there was a bear checking for something in the garbage can. My favorite though was the night we got into camp near Jasper. Right next to the amphitheater thing. While we ate we watched a black bear walk by us and right behind the people watching some kind of a nature film... something on butterflies or something. The peope never saw the bear. Haha!
