Don't break up your links. Some of us aren't inclined to fix them.




--------------------------------------------




I learned a little trick a while back. When using a long link


putting a before it and a after it will keep the link


together.




So, the broken link (above) should be entered as:




http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/politifact-on-trayvon-martin-chain-email-yo-photos-of-rapper-game-not/1243178












Are you soaking this in, Iboaterer?




I don't need to, I've known how to copy and paste forever!




---------------------------------------------------




That's not simply "copy and paste". Quite often when you copy and


paste a long link


it will wrap around and the link will become broken as it was in the


original post.


Adding the and the before and after the long link will prevent


it from being


broken due to a wrap around. You could then have a link as big as a


paragraph and


it will remain unbroken and usable.

Please. Don't encourage him to post more links - unless they're about


boats.




Or recipes, or campers, or guitars, etc. right, Mr. better than anybody


else?








I was enthralled by the video of the inside of his sardine can, er,


camper trailer. Yep, it's just the place where I'd want to stay for


weeks at a time. Right.




How long would it take to drive your boat to the Grand Canyon?




I'm wondering where he finds hotel rooms with a lot more room than my trailer!


Not only that, but RV's have generally nicer furniture, a refrigerator, oven and cooktop, all your own stuff, grill, outdoor furniture, better food than most places (at least when we cook!), etc. And no bedbugs!

Now he's pretending to have been in a fifth wheel such as mine, which makes him knowledgeable. The
bedbug issue isn't just a joke either!

We has a 25' class A Winnebago for a few years, it was a lot of fun. Not as much room as yours, but fine for the two us. Longest trip we took was a week, had the car on a tow dolly behind us. We went from SC to Bel Aire, MD for a couple of days to visit my wife's sister, then to PA Omish Country for a couple of days, then on to Wright Patterson AFB for the museum, and back home over a couple of days. Lots of long weekend trips to the mountains, beach, lake, etc.

When I retire I could handle doing a 6 month ramble across the US. But, I do love the outdoors and seeing this great land of ours.


If I could get someone to live here and take care of the place for a few months, I'd take off in a
heartbeat. There is a lot of beautiful country that many dolts just fly over on their way to a hotel
somewhere.

Damn shame.
