I will find it much easier to turn on the stove in our RV, and flip the light switch. :lol:

I will let the younger brothers and nephew deal with the campfire...while supervising! :wink: I will be the Senior Slatten at this event, and I will wield my authority. :mrgreen:

P.S. Tequila will suffice for medicinal purposes, thank you! :thumbup:

Aha...It is not a true camping trip except for the poor youngsters. I guess with your upcoming turn to old age you need as many comforts as possible in the great outdoors. It is wonderful your relatives understand your weaknesses. :mrgreen: 😆 :roll: :lol:

Yeah, the two brothers joining me are 61 & 62, while I turn 65 this Tuesday. My nephew is 34. I guess they are humoring me by letting the 'old guy' come along. :lol:

They are the ones bringing the RV, not me. :mrgreen:

I am there to help them 'rough it' through the experience. :thumbup:

They would probably "rough it" without the RV; however, being considerate of your advancing age decided to bring it. 😆😨

Wilderness sk**ls are still required;

fill propane bottle BEFORE leaving on trip,
open valve on bottle,
open valve on burner,
light immediately,
drop lighter before lighting burner,
being " self lit on booze", take 15 minutes looking for lighter,
strike lighter,
blow up camper,
spend 6 weeks in burn unit,
repeat next spring.

As slatten is taking Tequila for "medicinal" purposes some of the instructions could be a possibility. Hopefully the younger set will keep him safe. 😮😬 :idea:

The only 'advancing' will be my advance upon Caprock Canyon State Park for our rendezvous. :wink:

Once there, I will offer my guidance and wisdom. :mrgreen:

It should take but a second. :shock:

The real problem for me will be to keep my tequila 'safe' from the 'kids'. :lol:

Pour it into an empty Two Fingers bottle. Nobody drinks that crap.

Did we just have a hit and run visitor?

Does it not seem odd our non drinker would provide instruction on such a matter?👿 :?:

Do to his vast wealth of knowledge, I will heed his advice. :mrgreen:

I've never crossed the Alps on an elephant, but I read of Hannibal doing such. I'm sure our friend, Mr. Loki, speaks from acquired knowledge without partaking of the demon rum. :wink: :thumbup:

At least his concerns are for me...and my tequila! :-D

Yes, but he lacks your 'woman's touch', AuntiE. :wink:

(Do I score points with that comment?) :mrgreen:
