LOLuva at NC State (NCSU -3.5) - I think this could really go either way but I can't bring myself to pick UVA
Iowa at (16) Iowa State (Ia St -3.5) - home team in a rivalry
Baylor at (17) Southern M (SMU -3.5) - as annoying as it is, SMU is good
(20) Old Miss at Kentucky (OMe -10.5) - IDK, honestly
(12) Arizona State at Miss St (AzSt -6.5) - I can't pick two Mississippi teams to win in the same week
(15) Michigan at (18) Oklahoma (Okla -5.5) - Michigan winning would annoy me more, so that's probably what will happen. I'll be rooting for OU
I'd definitely be interested in the spreadsheets. You can send them to me at mdmasc91 [at gmail dot com].
its a lot, I had a room that had an VT orange accent wall and the rest of the room was white and it was just about right. I wouldn't do the entire room because those colors aren't very neutral no matter what color number you use. The accent wall was really good looking too. I had draps that matched.
Now what I've wanted to do is maroom bottom, orange strip and then a light gray ontop. I also want to put VTs into the chair rail to make it look fancy but ain't no one got time for that.
After getting the only pick I wanted to be wrong on correct last week, things can only improve......right?.....RIGHT???
Nothing I've fixed is mechanical (axles, brakes, etc.). Like I said, most are very easy/quick tasks like replacing the screws attaching the stove to the countertop or taking apart a sticky door latch to apply some grease, etc.
Some are a bit more involved. I've had to do some light plumbing, mostly replacing a couple pex crimp rings because of slow leaks. One included recaulking the shower access panel because the fittings were behind it. I also had to fix a broken window shade. The screw stripped, so I had to drill it out, glue in a dowel plug and re-attach.
There is also annual maintenance. Repacking bearings (I do this every other year, because I don't put a ton of miles on it), adjusting the trailer brakes (also do this every other year when doing the bearings), winterizing and dewinterizing, checking and resealing seams. None of this is particularly difficult with the possible exception of the wheel bearings. Those you can always take to have done.
We have a 23 ft Airstream Safari. Its 19 yrs old and still looks like new and rarely does anything go wrong. A lot of the advise in this subthread is solid. The other brands u see depreciate very fast. Our Airstream is worth more now than what we paid for it.
Airstream don't have slides and have limited basements, but they last forever and their solid.
I have some towing safely spreadsheets I could share. Also, $49 a year RV Life membership is worth every penny. The RV Trip Wizard has saved me a lot of stress (avoid 7 to 8% grades, tight tunnels, etc.)
How handy would you have to be? I know how to use a hammer, but I'm not going to say I'm a mechanic.
How much space would you give yourself on the tow limit? 1000 lbs? 500 lbs?
Clark Lea thinks Sergio should be on the Euro Ryder Cup team. And that Kawhi earned that $28mil by planting all of those trees.
How I manage to get worse at this every year needs to be studied.
Clark Lea got mad at Jerry Kill for telling Brad Cornelsen he's an idiot.
Just thinking about going there at this point - but the location would be at Club Wyndham, Denarau Island - this would be a timeshare exchange.
We have a small travel trailer (Micro Minnie 1800BH) that we bought in 2021 just before the prices went nuts. We use it 3-4 times a year, typically including a 10+ day trip to the beach, and really enjoy it. Know that they're basically all made of toothpicks and tape, so make sure you're handy/able to fix things. Things will break and they warranties aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Most fixes are pretty simple though.
One thing to be aware of is know how you like to camp. If you spend most of your time inside, a small rig will feel small quickly. We spend almost all of our time outside, so we're fine with a small rig; even with 2 kids and 2 golden retrievers.
Going small does have its benefits. I can fit in almost any spot. I can easily store it at my house. I can drive it almost anywhere I can drive my truck (comes in really handy when you're on your way to a VT game and 81 is closed, forcing you to wind through back roads). I can tow it with a half ton.
Happy to answer any questions you have.
Isn't Clark Lea and Clark Meadows the same person?

Clark Lea would have ordered the Metallic Pea Wagon Queen Family Truckster that Clark Griswold ended up with, and would have skipped the optional Rally Fun pack...
Clark Lea thinks it's great when private equity buys the firm you work for.
Clark Lea isn't real sure how to spell his last name, but he is sure that miracle whip is vastly superior to mayonnaise.
I've had multiple packages being delivered by USPS that the tracking shows them arriving from (insert random source city) to the 'Richmond Distribution facility" then be sent to Tidewater area then BACK to Richmond post office then to my house. Richmond of course has been in the news a lot lately for crap postal service and lost
mail. Have had things take 9 days to go from on e place in town to another.
They might be apocryphal but there have been rumors that on Friday afternoons when faced with deadline to "finish a batch of mail" that workers at the main Richmond post office would simply dump the whole batch onto an outgoing mail truck to "insert random city"..
