         Now that you are retired we will be watching for you to come 
camping at Portland.
         Is it time for Portland yet?
         I have missed a lot of good shows this year that we normally get 
to. Just too busy. Maybe next year. I'm sure glad I'm retired... If we were 
still running stores we wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I swear I had more 
time before we retired...   :-)
         I'm planning a different rig for Portland (and some other shows) 
next year. I  have acquired a Loooong gooseneck horse trailer (actually 
through son Scott) and will be fixing it up when I get caught up a little. 
It has room for two horses in the back and about 20 feet of living space 
(including the bed area over the gooseneck) in the front. There is a small 
feed and tack area in between. I'm going to modify the center divider 
between the horses so that I can take it out and can haul a smallish 
tractor in there and take it to shows and have the camper all in one trip. 
All I will have to do to haul horses is bolt the divider back in. The 
living area at the moment is a little more than rough but it will be fun 
rebuilding it to what I want. We will still keep the old 24' travel trailer 
for some stuff. I keep saying that you need about 5 different units to 
handle the different camping needs. I still wouldn't mind picking up either 
a pop-up trailer like we used to have or even a smaller upright travel 
trailer for traveling lighter. We decided that we were getting too old for 
that sleeping in the van stuff too often. Just not enough headroom. Too 
much stuff in the middle of my body doesn't bend easy anymore. Well, some 
of it does.
