Hey Jason, did Chilli make any new friends,
she met many and got along well with all of them.... one session of snarling, started by the other dog, but it didn't last... there were a lot of dogs, the only one on a leash was one that needed to be... poor thing hated other dogs.. ;)

you can sort of tell that meeting new dogs are no longer such a trauma test for her

You guys need to learn how to make mounting rails that allow the milk crates to be locked in solid or with a flip of a latch through the hand hole in the milk crate removed completely and loose all the extra weight, work and money involved in building a full cabinet! Lol!!

Attention Cap’n Doug. The expression “aargh” is used in Pirate language to express the emotions of anger, horror , rage or just plain frustration. None of which have to do with the successful completion of a productive and satisfying job or eating a great meal, etc. The eating of great meal Pirate’s expression of appreciation is to let out a loud belching, burping sound.

A grunting, gutterally inflected, grunted, low Mmmrrrgh type of sound accompanied with a bit of positive up and down head nodding is one of the expressions used to indicate satisfaction of a completed job.

A woman should not have to mansplain this stuff to you. Neanderthal language comes naturally to most pirates.

For instance a reply of “aargh” to what I just now wrote is an entirely appropriate use of that written version of the sound.

Long range weather forecast is looking very decent for the 1st week of the Van Aid event. Low 70’s are coming your way! Even Lake Havasu City will be getting that warm.

There are severe limits to what buildings materials can be found locally in Quartzsite.

True, but Blythe is only 20 miles away and has at least an Ace Hardware (not sure if it has others). So it isn't like supplies are all that far away.

Parker also has an Ace Hardware, and a Do It Best Hardware. They both have some lumber and plywood.

Sparky Marine in Parker has marine quality 12v switches of various types, 12v outlets, usb outlets, wire connectors, battery shut off switches and fused 12v distribution panels too. Other RV build supplies as well.
