The &^%%$## bird only weighs about l lb but the cage weighs about 60lbs plus all the *&%$$# bird food and toys Oh the 8CF feezer that holds @ 200lbs of food is onboard. @ 200lbs of firearms and ammo and of course my @ 12 lbs of clothing onboard.Printers. Laptops, sewing machines, various electronic devices, cook books, and general "stuff" I think when we get home I am going to empty this thing and have it weighed. I can not beleive it weighs so much//// 15,372lbs at Keystone...12,450 on the axles 2922 pin weight. We did empty out more stuff when we got home.

"@ 200lbs of firearms and ammo"

Rich,
Wow! Are you a gun runner or an RVer?! Two hundred pounds seems like some big time weapons. But it's been a long time since I handled any firearm.

If Rich could keep the bird in flight all of the time when he was weighing, he wouldn't weigh as much... Wonder if that would work??...JB

Dennis.. I have always been a hunter having grown up in the PA mountains where firearms were a way of life. They were always around and no big thing. My hobby has been sport shooting and reloadng for many years including shooting at Camp Perry. Since we have been traveling most of my firearms and equipment have ben sold been passed on to kids or stored at the SIL's place. We do keep a few around as we still sport shoot when we can. 200lbs is a exaggeration but we do have a few of my favorites around
and when I see cheap ammo at a gun show I buy it up. ...50 cal is a bit large Rondo ..never fired one of those execpt for the military.

Rondo,
I was wondering what that extra thing sticking out the back was!? Now I know.

Rich,
I had forgotten that you were a sport shooter. Now it makes more sense to me. Thanks for reminding me about that.

Later,
Dennis

Has anybody talked about using Loctite? I know from experence that using the red kind correctly you will have to heat the nut with a torch to get it loose again.
