I was breezing through YouTube and came across this great video,  Art Carney – ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (1954).  Believe it or not I remember my folks had this Album and played it on Christmas! Enjoy it just for fun. Best Holiday Wishes From Brickster ?  ...

Winter Maintenance for us is on going.  We tend to drive over to the storage facility about every three to four weeks to check thing out.  The follow items make up our list of visitation inspection {so to speak ?). Empty Dri-Z-Air: We have stored our trailers in an...

Well,  Mo and I put Blue Streak to bed for the close of 2021 “Glamping in the Boondocks Season” putting aside the fact we were still in “pandemic mode” the entire summer. The process we follow is both air blow-out and anti-freeze for the water lines. First thing is...
