There's one in Round Rock monthly on the 1st Saturday, this weekend in fact. I've been thinking it would be nice to have one in San Marcos or New Braunfels as well, for folks down south.

Waitaminute, you mean to tell me there are live OB members in New Braunfels? Not just spots on the map who haven’t checked in for 2 years. Go figger.

I dunno, mine‘s just broken in after 30 years. I’ll circle back in 2050 with a review.

don't let it near a boat.

Do you a picture you can share to illustrate that?

I looked at the dimensions of the fire extinguisher they sell. It’s close. I may have to do some tweaking. I’ll see when it arrives.

Here ya go. They all about the same size, I liked the latch on this one.

I just ordered a bracket for a 20# fire extinguisher. Same basic dimensions as that for a 5# propane tank, but no overland tax. It was $50, instead of $130. It will arrive next week.

I've been looking at tire carriers again. I've had Rigd on my mind for some time. Now I can't recall why Rigd vs Wilco.

It’s going to be a while. Ford isn’t allowing dealer orders even. Only for individual buyers who reserved. If we’re lucky, it’ll be October. We’re supposed to know more in late May.
