It's Rally Time!

First, a little backstory. Remember last trip we discovered a broken vent pipe? Well, we got Mammoth home and worked on fixing it. It took another trip to Home Depot, but we finally got it fixed, we think!

Before

Before... The pipe uses two 45 degree angles to negotiate under the drawer. One of the 45s was broken.

We cut the pipe in the middle of the long straight section, so we could remove it and aid in connecting the pieces back together.

With all pieces connected again.

To be safe, we ran water down to vent pipe to check for leaks and to make sure there were no obstructions causing the odor to enter the room. It ran fine and no leaks after some adjusting. ;)

Then, Tony installed a new cyclone vent onto the top of this vent, which is supposed to draw odors out by design.

We did a few other minor projects with the trailer, as well, but ran out of weekend.

Wednesday, I finished loading stuff and we got the Mammoth hitched and ready to go at lunchtime. We headed out after school was out for the 35-minute drive to Canton. When we arrived, most of our friends were out eating, so we set up and had dinner before starting to visit.

About 7, we walked out to visit with the group that was gathering, until mosquitos drove most everyone inside.

We finished getting set up inside, kitties settled in, and we surfed and chilled. Both of us were pretty tired, so we will probably turn in a little early. Tony has to get up even earlier to head to work the next few days.


Aaaaah, so glad to be here and see old friends, and meet new ones! More will be arriving the next few days. Should be 23 rigs in all!
