Daddy what’s an extrovert?

Im sitting on a park bench watching my kid play and a two year old kid walks up to me and starts jabbering away. His dad walks up and says sorry. I said no worries, congrats on having an extrovert! He smiles and walks away with his kids and his older child says “daddy what’s an extrovert?” To which he says “I dunno but it can’t be good” 😂

Ad makes me a little crazy

Why in the ad does the grain go the wrong way on the plywood in the bed? I notice it every time and my reality meter goes crazy lol. Anyone else notice it?

Best YouTube video for presort?

I have an employee who has a temporary medical issue and can’t come to work, I also have several hundred pounds of bulk Lego I haven’t started sorting yet. I pitched the idea of them sorting Lego as a temporary job and they were excited to give it a try…..

Is there a good YouTube video that explains all the major categories of Lego? (Bricks, plates, snot, technic, clips and bars, etc.) something I could have them watch for a better explanation. I’m afraid if I try to explain myself I won’t be concise enough, and a video they could rewatch as needed.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

My son and I just got back from another awesome camping trip and in our little camper. I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for all your help through the process of building out our amazing fun cargo camper! You all have been so amazing and helpful!

I know we are not nearly as hardcore as many of you, he’s only five, so there’s plenty of time for more extreme trips. But despite all that y’all never made me feel stupid no matter how dumb some of my questions I’m sure have been.

The camper isn’t completely done, I’m building cabinets for the galley right now and hope to have them done before the end of the year (I’m no cabinet maker). But in the meantime, it’s quite functional and we have made some awesome memories in it already.

Thank You again so much!

What is this part they use on the tracks?

They attach to the bottom of the track but I have no idea what they do.

Can I build “kitchen” cabinets out of cottonwood?

I have some very well dried cottonwood and I’m thinking about building some cabinets for the camper galley. Any big negatives I should know about? Warping after it’s cut? Not hard enough to hold screws? Etc.

In case you are wondering, it’s our state tree and a sentimental stack of wood. That’s why.

Propane…..

I bought a new stove and water heater and they both run on propane. Planning to mount a bracket to hold the tank.

Is it worth it to bother with a five pound tank? Or should I just go with a ten?

The smaller one is lighter and takes up less room, but that as far as I can see is the only upside.

A ten I can exchange just about anywhere, it holds more and will have to be refilled less often, etc.

Would like to hear your opinions

What would be a good accent color?

Everything is white grey or black at this point. What color would be good to accent? I’m thinking accent color for bungee cords and pillows on bed, etc.

I thought bright orange would look cool, but others have told me it would look bad.

Would love your opinions!

She lives! Kinda.

Got this one given to me. After a little fiddling and digging out an old record, she’s playing. Not well, but still…

Anyone else had an issue with part vibrating?

The glass over the circular instrument cluster rattles or vibrates and the sound is making me a bit crazy. Anyone know a good fix?

Has anyone tried mounting a truck ladder rack on an enclosed trailer?

I just happened to notice my truck ladder rack is almost the perfect size….

Never tried before and if it doesn’t work I’ve cut up a 300 dollar ladder rack

Thank you so much, so far.

You all have been amazing answering my rookie questions. I’m far from done but I thought I would post a few photos of progress so far.

30amp or no?

I have a 30 amp cord to run the camper but now I’m thinking I shouldn’t do it. If every single thing was running at once I would only be pulling 11-12 amps. Should I just buy a good 12/3 extension cord and use that instead?

If I use the rv cord I limit my ability to run on a cheap generator or plug in at home. Not that I couldn’t install a 30 amp service, I just don’t currently have one.

I know most campgrounds have a 30 amp plug but if they didn’t also have a standard receptacle I could use one of those standard 30-15 adapters…..

What are your thoughts?
