My labor day is next weekend.
While everyone enjoyed a 3 day weekend and ate good played hard . I was tending my BBQ grill . Now I am not complaining I choose BBQ as my job it allows me a lot of free time. The only draw back is my busiest days are holidays. I don't get to go to the kids and spend fun time holiday activity's with them. This past weekend was no different but my wife didn't go to her kids like normal she loafed at home. So to make it up to her next week will be spent back at the coast.
This trip will be in the squatty trailer pulled with her mitizibishe convertible . It will be the first long trip we take this set up and I am kind of looking forward to seeing how it works out. My wife refused to go out west but now is regretting not agreeing to the trip. A friend went on a similar trip last month and raved about how beautiful and fun it was so now the wife wants to go.
Its not a bad setup it has 12 volt lights 110 air and plugs, a 1500 watt inverter, all it lacks is a bathroom. It has a queen size bed :) a table or a regular bed if some one is with us. The awning slides into the pipes on the roof and the awning is just a cheap tarp and held with spring clamps. Plenty of inside storage and a 35 gallon tote on front . All in its still only about 1100 lbs

Its almost festival and football season.
Here in the south we enjoy our college football. It is a time when people make time to get together on weekends. Friends that may not see each other all year reconnect and catch up on each others lives. Friendly rivalry's add to the gatherings and fun most teams are acceptable( Tennessee and LSU excluded) even wives wear jerseys. Its all about friends family food and fun. How many of your friendships started over sports ?
Even as football season starts so do festivals and city and community events. Every area has them and they are fun and can be a cheap way to have a fun family outing . I have even got some good deals at some that have vendors and craft areas. All my honey comes from a man that I met at one he is a local.
Even if you cant afford to buy at a local festival it is a great place for a person that is prepared minded to attend . You have an opportunity to see and sample wares of people in your area. I have business cards for local seamstress ,honey, soap, jelly jam ,eggs and rabbits. I have made friends with a vegetable farmer and a wood worker . Now is the time to make friends of like minded folks that have skills you may not. If things were to fall apart you stand a better chance dealing with some one you know.

A picture that made me think.

Call me a plumber.
This past Sunday I was in the basement checking on a sound I could hear in the bathroom upstairs . Turns out I had a leaking pipe and it had been a small leak for a verry long time and now was a gusher. To make it worse it was in a wall and galvanized pipe. Water can destroy most anything I lost about 6 cases of can vegetables . I keep most stuff in a large basement closet on the other side so I lucked out. The pipe that leaked was to the shower upstairs In a wall behind the shower enclosure .
Long story short It took 12 hours 4 trips to Lowes but I replaced ALL the old galvanized piping in the house a dripping shower and sink faucets and got the wife a rain shower head. Doing the work myself I got it done for 150$. My step son is a plumber but was busy he stopped by but it was a "it looks good call if you get stuck". The one thing I hated to do was use PVC but it is easier to work with and cheap so I did. now I have to replace the wood that rotted because of the water.
