jceman 1 #1 May 5, 2003 The tent has been reserved again this year. If you would like to help with the $495 cost, PM or email me for payment options. I have a Paypal account, but I will also accept cash or check via snail mail for those who have had less than satisfying experiences with Paypal. Other donation options are subject to negotiation, i.e., make an offer and we'll talk. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #6 May 5, 2003 As I stated back in that "other" thread that I'm too lazy to go a find, I'm in for $50 for the tent. I'll also be bringing the giant dry erase board to sign in on, and a 13" TV/VCR combo. Mark me for that $50 Jack, I'll be able to zap it too you in a week (unless the wife lets me send it today).It's your life, live it!

Vallerina 2 #14 May 5, 2003 Hi! I'm all preregistered, and I even bought myself a few jumps! I want to bring a slip and slide, but I don't know how readily available a hose is. I'm also wanting to set up some sort of fun air conditioner to my tent...has anyone here done that? What have been your methods? I'm thinking I need to do another costume jump, too....hmm...so many fun things....so much time to still plan!

billvon 3,107 #16 May 5, 2003 >I'm also wanting to set up some sort of fun air conditioner to my tent Like what? I can think of a few ways: 1. Put an aluminum tube through an ice chest. Fill ice chest with ice. Have a little fan to blow through ice chest. 2. Build one with Peltier modules and use a battery. (Note - not easy.) 3. Buy/borrow/steal a cheapo A/C, run the vent out into your tent, plug in somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if it was a "fun" air conditioner, but it kept my tent pretty comfy in Quincy two years ago. I have a fairly large tent that divides into two rooms. I brought the biggest window unit I could find that ran on 110volts (regular plug). It came from the pawn shop I used to work at, and ran very nicely for the $105 I'd invested. I used two register ducts, two flexible dryer vent hoses (the aluminum kind), and lots of duct tape. The register ducts reduced the output of the A/C unit down to the hoses, and they ran in one corner of the tent to each "room" in the tent. During the day, it could only keep one side cool, but the sweetest daytime slumber could be had by running one of the ducts under the covers, and the other pointed at your noggin'. One lesson learned after much retaping the hose/duct connection and taping the duct to the output of the A/C - duct tape is not waterproof. The condensation that gathered on the ductwork caused the ducting system to fall apart after the first few days. Insulating everything with cardboard and towels made it cool better, and kept it from falling apart. Of course, you have to have access to power, too - that's a different issue. - Cajones The laws of physics are strictly enforced.
