Step closer to leaving. I resolved the power issue to the CB. Of course it was the most common problem when dealing with electrical stuff ... a bad ground.

i see the doc Wed. i hope to be able to swing the trip to Moab. depends how healed i am by then.
Great news! I hope that works out. I would hate for Pappy to miss running Pritchett...
Booked a Kabin @ the KOA.
Great! Just FYI - as I mentioned, it's not a hotel room. Plan on bringing a sleeping bag, pillow, towel, etc. You get a bed and a roof and that's about it!

That was a bed?
Don't forget, if it gets windy you get a bedtime seranade of the wind howling through the cracks of the cabin and the screen door slaming back and forth. You even get the feeling that you wake up on ocean front property when you step on the sand that has blown in overnight. Ahhhh, Good Times I can't wait.
That was a bed?
Fixed it for ya, Rudy.
Jarred - Rudy raises a good point. Bring two towels, one for showering and another old one to stuff under the door to keep the sand out when the wind blows. Luxury accommodations, these are not.
True, but it's Moab.
Head Count
I'm counting:
Pappy, staying at the KOA. Leaving Thursday AM.
Evan, staying at the KOA. Leaving Thursday PM.
Steve et al, staying at the KOA. Leaving Thursday PM.
Jarrod, staying at the KOA. Leaving Friday AM.
Rudy ??
Shawn, pending Dr.
Fish .. surprise attack?
Am I missing anybody?

And it's a real structure as opposed to a tent...
No. I will not be able to join you this year. I'm bummed about it but as Onur says... "It is what it is." (whatever the hell that means.)

There is a very distinct ontological meaning for the phrase "It is what it is" that dates back to at least the battle between Parmenides and Heraclitus. Aristotle lectured extensively about the notion of "is" (hence the notion of "being" since "is" is a derivation of "to be") especially in Books 3-5, and Book 12 of the "Metaphysics."
Heidegger brought it back up into question(ing) in the early 20th century with one essay called "The Question Concerning Technology" (1955) and a set of lectures he gave at Marburg University entitled "The Principle of Reason" (1928/1933).
The notion of "being" to a certain degree is the central notion of philosophical thought stringing together the Pre-Socratics to the current breed of academic philosophers working in arcane areas of ontology.
Afterall, the phrase "It is what it is" captures a feeling, a mood, a stimmung to use the more philosophical German iteration.
And, as Mike as mentioned above, his comment that "he can't make it to Moab this yaer" captures not only a state of being for Mike, it also captures the state of his mood--the dude is sad he can't wheel!!
Anyway, as you can see from the above, there is a reason I work in a parts department.
I read your post #76 above and was thinking you were trying to be serious and intellectual. You almost had me there Onur.
When I reread the first sentence it became obvious you just made all that up. Heraclitus was what gave the ruse away.

good news from the Doc. no surgery. but i have 5 weeks 'till a re xray to see if it's healing. it apparently fairly common for a joint fracture to not heal. if that happens he'll have to put screws in.
i am very torn. i really want to go to Moab, but feel it may not be a good idea. i can't use the right hand/arm really at all. my desire to wheel, even 1 handed is high. my final decision will be made later as it gets closer. just throwing my thoughts out there.

Shawn, I will make you a deal if you only have one arm to drive and can make it. If I can make it, you can split some drive time with me. You should be able to handle the '80 with one arm. I assume your 40 is manual. Just throwing my thoughts out there. I want to go, but who knows, waiting for info about the electrical issues for my house. If at all possible, Moab is a fun place to be at!
Yes I am working on making it. My rainy day fund looks like enough for gas

Sound like somebody has spent a few years studying philosophy. That's enough to make a guy go insane and become an airplane service technician.
