Good morning all, 49 out now going up to unusually warm 82 today. 82 in the middle of April will sure get things growing, maybe my lettuce will say hello today.
Putting TPMS sensors on rv duallies is a real treat. You have that long extension pipe for the air and then you put this not lightweight hunk of plastic on the end. Have to wonder how that weight flying around might affect tire balance but those are big heavy wheels. I had one for 8 tires, six on rv and two on pulled trailer. If you get a flat on your trailer, often the much heavier rv can't feel anything inside. Most units alarm at ten percent below the amount set as normal at the correct temperature. I usually ran two pounds over recommended but never full pressure on tire, like 65psi. My last rv only required low 40's for air vs tires rated much higher. Big difference running an rv in New England vs near Ted's home.
I wonder how all the visiting rv's are doing in New Mexico cleaning out their a/c filters due to the flying dirt. Reminds me of sucking up jellyfish in the a/c strainers on my boat. And I'd have to swim under the boat in the pitch black and clean off the white guck jammed in the slots, and then clean out the filters inside. Sometimes packed with tiny jellyfish. Got that in the South part of the Chesapeake bay one August. That engine room took two days to cool off all that hot iron, so any filter checking or cleaning was a very sweaty affair.
Filters in rv a/cs aren't very high quality, bet there will be a lot of service calls.
going to pick up check for my truck this morning. Nice to get that money back in retirement fund. It sold for a little more than I paid for it.
by putting down a 5x7 tarp in rear of volvo I can haul a fair amount. Just can't tie stuff down easily so need to figure out that part. I have lots of straps, the question
is there anything to hook them to. Needs to be strong enough to keep wet dirty bags of mulch from sliding forward or sideways. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised to find a some little chrome tie downs hiding in there. I now have room for a small trailer behind the house so I might consider getting a hitch put on the back of the SUV. One ton trailer would be fine. The only real reason to have it for me is to get mulch and take my lawn mower to church to help mow the graveyard.
Friend is picking up 20 bags of cheap sale mulch at Lowes today in his full size truck, and will drop it off at church for me. Downside is all those non recyclable mulch bags. I've decided having a friend with a big truck is just fine, easier to borrow his and I give him 50 bucks for gas at least each time. He just ordered a new GMC Sierra with the small diesel. His Dad has the smaller GMC Denali with the baby diesel and I found it fairly unpleasant and noisy. Fine on a farm or around town but not a very comfortable vehicle regardless of the trim badge. The larger Sierra with the new big screen dashboard looks a lot nicer inside, better materials, am sure my friend will be very happy with it. Am thinking a Ford Maverick makes sense for me, if ever, and it would actually fit here which a full size truck doesn't.
