I just learned a new camping term "Stinky Slinky". It is a lot more fun to say than sewer hose. Basketball

Wow, this rascal is a lot heavier than the pop-up was.  I finally got it moved onto the driveway.  The Hybrid was stuck in the yard, well, the truck was stuck.  My problem is that my driveway is sloped downward from the road too much to level front to back.  About half a bubble off, even on bricks.  The tongue won't go down any more, so I will be pouring concrete to build up "ramps" for the wheels.  Won't that be fun.  I am going to go up a total of about a foot. I figure that I can build in some additional "chocks" to the "ramps". Couldn't hurt. Concrete work is something I've done plenty of times, but never enjoyed. It makes me sweat.

Ok, I have a new plan. My house is built of concrete blocks. Not regular hollow concrete blocks, but solid concrete blocks. I have six or eight of them that were left here in the basement. I think I can make what I need out of these, and drive rebar spikes in the ground to pin them in place. Worth a shot, and I already have the stuff.

I will take photos of the progress once I get started, and video the first time I back
the chicken onto my contraption.
