    That happens occasionally but usually only after several adult beverages, hopefully you aren’t hitting it that hard this early in the day. :salute:

    Very happy you folks had a safe trip.

    Guess what, I bought "imperfect" mattresses from eBay years ago. Somehow I got two orders of them. They were too heavy n big to return n too cheap to bother ( $39 n & $69 ). He said he put them in the pole barn so I assumed ruined. Nope, in garage all wrapped up in compressed rolls in packaging so they are on moving truck. Just need platform frames n we,re set!
