I know this really isn't about my toon but it was supposed to be first launch of the year...NOT!!! goddamn rain wouldn't stop. :herbshome
I went down to lot early to hookup tankless water heater in big camper. Damn thing draws 30 amps... :x My whole freakin camper is on a 30 amp main.
I will have to run a seperate line from the pole to the heater.... :censored :censored
We got so much rain the 800 lbs of blocks I had in the truck made it sink in the bog and Paula didn't notice when she went to go to bathhouse and spun em even further down.
I had to use wheeler to pull the truck out. I was pissed at this point
So in the pouring rain I at least put out some mulch only had room to bring 3 bags down. And I laid out some patio blocks for picnic table and path to the toon.

It is definetly looking more like a home.

Hopefully will get plugs changed for next trip in 2 weeks and the damn toon in the water.

I am planing my "first test run" with a quick trip to lake granger tomorrow. Looks like a good chance for rain, but may go anyway.
My main goal is to take a trip to lake Buchanan and go up the "canyon of the eagles" soon. It's a hour drive and a big lake. Want to make sure everything is working right first.

Here are some videos of the last trip there a few years ago.
