Stuckeys!

 February 14, 2026

Most of us that are older can remember stopping at a Stuckey's while traveling. I liked them better than an regular ol' gas station because Stuckey's had souvenirs, candy, and other things to see. I think Dad didn't like them as much because he knew he'd end up buying something or other in addition to fuel!

Stuckey's kind of died out for awhile; but in 2019-2020, granddaughter Stephanie took over the board. The corporation purchased a pecan processing plant and has once more started making Stuckey's pecan candies in house. They currently have 50 licensed locations. We stopped by their processing plant and retail store in Wren, GA. 

How is that pronounced?

Slide Out Topper Repair

When our motorhome was built, Newmar installed Slide Out Toppers on our rig. The toppers help keep leaves and other debris off the top of the slide. Travel days are easier as I don't have to drag out a ladder to clean them before retracting them.

Note The Fabric Topper Keeping The Snow Off The Top Of The Full Wall Slide Out.

The other evening we heard an odd sound that took me a couple of days to figure out what the noise was. Come to find out the aft end of our full wall slide out topper had pulled out of the track.

Mind The Gap!!!!

It took me some time on a ladder to squeeze the topper back into the track, regrettably I did scar the track some with my plyers.  Bummer.

Squeezing It Back Into The Track.

Once back in. I then closed up the channel a little.

Hulk Smash It Shut

I still need to find a replacement stainless steel finishing washer so I can reinsert the screw.

Job Mostly done.
