Good morning!!!!

Good morning, the low is 55 and going to a high of 73°F. Wind SSE 11 mph. Mainly sunny! I can handle that.

It used to cost me $106.oo for a return trip to work in gas alone. Then there is the time factor of a total of 7 hours this is for a round trip, but I only went down in Spring and back in Fall in my 4 wheeler. The rest of the time I was in the big truck and getting paid to do it. You can use $30.oo/hour for a hourly rate. $210.oo X 106.oo = $316.oo/round trip. But you can be guaranteed I made that back in spades before the summer was over.

I might get after the light today, it depends on how Juniors' knees are. I can stand on the platform of the hoe to do the technical stuff.
I have 2 pairs of LED lights. One pair is designed to be mounted horizontally with a spot in the middle and flood on either end. The pair we will be searching for are cubes with 4 LEDs in a 6" square. They are spots only. They are the ones I want to use. I don't hook up implements in the dark and will be using them as backup lights to get into the shelter at night. There is no light in the shelter other than what is on the tractor.

Time will tell what I get done today.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
some of you guys are up early
58 in Lees Summit, chilly enough I put electric heater on for a few minutes in living room.

this is a lovely Jackson Co county campsite with a set of problems that never should have been. Whoever built this place did a terrible job of leveling the sites. You saw how far off mine was. So with all my height
blocks used, I still was in alarm stage on autoleveling.
Well it looks like I"m not the only one, check out this recent review:
Biggest issue is how unlevel the sites are, front to back and side to side. I didnt see one RV that didn't have to level extensively in some way, even the brand new paved sites had an incredible amount of fall in one direction or another.

Headed North on rt 29 following the Missouri River past Kansas City and Omaha, and will wind up in Onawa Iowa this afternoon, just east of the River. 4+ hour drive,I'd leave early but I go right through Kansas City, not sure what that's like in rush hour. Likely will find out.
going to stop for gas in Faucett MO, regular is about $3 everywhere here.
My last tank at 2.80 was a deal.

need to clean windshield when I go out, plus dump the tanks.
My nice clean rv is ready for another day of killing bugs.
onward

Good morning,
47° now highs in the upper 70’s by afternoon. Humidity is staying low, light winds.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for sitting outside and watching the world go by, which is what I did most of the day.

Heading out for groceries shortly and that’s about it, maybe putter around some.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Drew, proper way to determine tire pressure on a motorhome is have each tire weight weighed. On dual rears. Each pair is weighed. After weighing my Motorhome found that rear tires needed to be set at 90 psi. Front tires had to be dropped to 80 psi. This stopped steering from wandering. Here is a chart for proper tire pressure on Michelin tires. Should be similar chart for your tires.

they wanted ten bucks more for a concrete pad.
Drew, never seen an RV do a "wheelie"-- wow! At $10/night I wonder how many times they have paid for that concrete pad? 😄

Let Rigby out at 3:30 and immediately smelled smoke. This is from the Bear fire in CA, which is close to 2,000 acres now. Weather conditions will be better for a few days so I hope they get it contained. Rough work fighting fires.

Rigby is now "master" of the Teeter-Totter. We place a dog treat at the far side, he walks up it, it pivots, and he's down the other side to get the treat. Then do it in reverse. Fast action means lots of treats so it's his favorite thing now. You can see in the picture he is starting to get his adult fur now.

Everyone have a great day !!!

Good Morning,
Milford,Ct, 56 to start going to 75, totally sunny now and the tide is out !

Plowhog, Rigby is getting big now, good looking boy !

Drew, I don’t have a lot of time spent in Mo , but we did fly into St Louis and drove west out to Columbia for a wedding a few years back ! I would like to see the Ozarks but have not yet !

Probably another lazy day on the beach, along with some reading.

Hope all have a blessed and safe day ! 🙏

Drew, never seen an RV do a "wheelie"-- wow!

not being level screws up two things, and both can be expensive.
I have a gas absorbtion fridge that is known not to like angles and the extra
torque on the slideout mechanism is a concern. I have a small slide with only a couch on it, so not much weight and my inspected and repaired
Swintek slide seems to work fine. Swinteks have mostly failed on larger slides but even mine started making unhappy noises. To the dealer it went and they loctited the failure point. Idiotic they would make a motor mount held on with a set screw. of course this is the same industry that seems to like wire nuts...

I think of Popgadget and his planes and why regular maintenance is so critical. Something tells me critical parts are not attached with set screws in an airplane.
