Hi Gang,

Well, I got a new Bedslide today for the truck.

It's wonderful... so much nicer than the old one....

It should be called Bedglide....

http://bedslide.com/

I loaded it up tonight, will hook up and hit the road in the
morning....

Have a safe, fun, and pleasant trip, Hunter.

BTW, don't forget to pack the dog food... <G>

Thanks... I had a brief moment of panic this morning when I couldn't
find my telescoping ladder.... but it turned up. I thought there was
another robbery.

>BTW, don't forget to pack the dog food... <G>

Got a new 40# bag yesterday and added to the 20# I still had in the
container....

The food they eat is hard to find, venison, so I'm hoping I'll be
close to a town with a Petsmart or Petco when I'm starting to get low.

  Yeah but, she only has to drive down any back road that goes around the
truck scales and pick up all the dog food she needs.  How do you think she
wore out that bed slide and had to replace it with a heavy duty jobber?
Hmmmm?

Maybe she just didn't get around to finishing Med School... and has a
poor bedslide manner?

Hahahah!!  Too late I'm thinking.

A dogs gotta eat.....

Actually, I was a bit hinky about feeding them Bambi but with Cooper's
food allergies, and $1600.00 later, I was so thrilled to find
something he could eat that I didn't much care hap it was.

Seems to be a trend.  I've noticed, around here, in the pet supplies
stores they're carrying a lot of "game" dog food: venison and bison
being prominent.

The most common causes of food allergies are beef, chicken, dairy
products, egg, gluten (particularly wheat).  

The meat proteins least likely to cause problems are duck and rabbit
(possibly venison), then fish and lamb.

Coop is allergic to lamb.  That's what I was feeding my other dogs
when I got him..... then I tried all kinds of fancy foods.... the
venison worked.

If he starts to have problems, which he could, I'll switch him to duck
or bunny.

You know, Hamp, for the price of a new bedslide, you could buy a
handy little trailer to haul your hay around in.  Or dirt, or
lumber.  It'd hold a ton, and it'd last practically forever.

Ah, but I have a horse trailer for all that.

The point of the slide is.... with the cap on my truck I can't access
my stuff..... I'd have to climb in and out every time I needed
something forward.

With the slide, I pull all my stuff out where I can reach it.

Since I have a TT my truck bed is my "basement"...

I got all that.  

But I also got the impression you ruined the old slide by loading
hay on it.

Maybe you need a little trailer.  Something easier to resort to
than the horse trailer.

When I started driving jeeps, 20 years ago, I gave up the truck.
And immediately got me a 5X7 trailer for all the stuff I had been
doing with the truck.

Bob, who has lots of trees to trim.

I'm with you.

My 4x6 steel-body dump trailer (bought used in '84 for $135!) has
eliminated whatever need I might otherwise have had for a pickup -- for
almost no money at all.

A utility trailer is a wunnerful thang.

Oh, no I think it was a design issue, especially since the company
went down the tube.....

That wouldn't help me when I'm towing the Airstream which is when I
need the slide the most.  Unless yo are suggesting I run them tandem

Yabut, I need the truck, I love the truck... the truck is family.

Somehow we are not communicating.  

I wasn't suggesting that you abandon the slide.  Nor that you
take the little trailer traveling, while towing the Airstream.
But it would be handy to have around the farm, to keep from
having to load extra heavy stuff on the slide.

O well.  nevermind.

Good choice.

Oh.  It sounded like you were saying to get a little trailer *instead*
of the slide....

I think maybe he meant that. in restrospect, it might have been cheaper
to buy a little trailer for that kind of stuff (around the farm) than to
have to replace the Beaver Bed.

To which I might add -- and you also wouldn't have to take all your
"basement stuff" off the slide (and then reload it) so you could haul
other stuff.

The Beaver Bed was jammed...... it had to come out and I needed a new
bed.

I'm not really gonna drive around all winter with my camping stuff in
the back of the truck..... it takes minutes to unload and reload
it....

What if I was out and about and found a piece of furniture that I
wanted... and I couldn't get it home.....

I already have 3 trailers at Patti's... I don't need another one.

You sure this isn't a subliminal ad for satin sheets?

*I'm* sure <g>  I have never slept on satin sheets, and doubt I ever
will.

100% sateen cotton, high thread count, for me.

Yes, but that's retail.... buy them at Tuesday Morning or
Overstock.com....

They have up to 1200 count for much less.
