Welcome aboard.

Thanks,  What part of Cleveland?  My Dad Grew up In Cleveland.  Wickliff to be exact.  Me and my Cousins have had a good time on the flats. I heard rumor that now they are almost family like. :eek:   Not when I was there. :seeya:

North Olmsted if you know it.  Not a big flats person myself, but when I went down to the Joe's Crab Shack a few months back, there were a lot of couples with kids.

I'm from Cleveland too-and the last time I was in the Flats, I almost lost a tooth in a bar-room brawl.  Kids at Joe's?  I thought they didn't allow anyone under 21 anywhere near Old River Rd!

 

For all the Clevelanders here-where's a good Chevy truck service place?  I've been going to Tim Lally, but I'm not impressed with their service department.  I was thinking either Don Don's or Burt Greenwald down in Akron.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks-Fitz.

Bought my truck from Halleen in N. Olmsted...not too bad really.  I work right down the street from Fairchild in Lakewood, so I've gone there a few times.  Fairchild always seems hungry for the work, so they tend to take care of my problems that Halleen brushes off...of course these would only be helpful if you're a westsider.

Cleveland :cheers:

Sweet, good to have another member close to home. I'd like to get a gathering together somewhere down the line, perhaps over the summer.

Not from Ohio, but Western PA. Spent some fun times in the Flats. Use to go to Columbus for the drag race Nationals. Anyone ever camp at the (not sure of the spelling) Kerkersville Zoo, when attending the Nationals? That place was crazy. I guess it's a parking lot now.

Also look forward to spending four days of camping and racing in Norwalk, OH for the Summer Nationals at the end of August. Been going to Norwalk for about 10 years now. :cheers::chevy:

Pettisville, Ohio West of the Toledo airport.

Very small town located between Archbold & Wauseon.

You reminded me. I can't use the line "the house payment sits in the garage anymore" as I paid Blue off in January and managed to save up some cash to get a place built.

    • Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks. 
    • Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL. 
    • $5.10 for regular at the Kroger   It's been 6 months... is this the "new normal" ?
    • Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
