Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

I just came in from searching for the 2 cube lights...No joy. Guess I will use the rectangular ones and mount them vertically. I can angle them downwards.

Travel and pet pics… this place is special.

Yes

safe and sound in Onawa Iowa, just South of Sioux City
longish drive here, lots of traffic around major cities, crept along for a while.
Now in middle of nowhere out in a corn field. Dusty dirt road to get here and gravel roads inside campground. Squirted the dust off but will get covered again going out.

This place has a rather grandiose name, Sunset at Blue Oasis. The only oasis is from the fields of corn. At least the site is level, all hooked up and going to try to take a nap.

I think midwest drivers are better. No one doing crazy stuff or going 20 over the limit.

Saw some crazy driving coming into town. BMW blows a stop sign, he stops at next red light, but kept inching out to where he was directly under the light when it turned green. Then he weaved over in front of truck in turn lane as he took off. Pretty soon a car was turning right from in front of him, he passes in oncoming lane, and almost crashed head first into an oncoming car, that fortunately jerked his vehicle to the shoulder. then this guy passes another on yellow line.. Pulled up next to him at the next light, he was hunched way down in the seat. at next light, which had 5-6 cars backed up, he passed and went straight from the right turn lane. Last I saw of that fool.

just to the East of me is the Winnebago reservation, population about 2600.
and if they owned an rv, you just know which one they would buy...

The Winnebago were farmers of corn, hunters and fishers, who believed in spiritual beings and a reverence for nature. They had rituals dedicated to war, and were quite dangerous enemies. They were involved in the Winnebago War in 1827 and the Black Hawk War of 1832

not much around here and the wind started to blow hard enough I had to put the awning in. I could feel the rv move. Nope, don't want that bent.
I bet the afternoons have higher winds in the plains, good reason to drive in the morning. I wish I had a weather station on the rv. At least while parked. Trick is for it to survive while moving 65mph and bouncing around.

put 76 in fronts and 78 in rears this morning while cold. Put in at least five pounds. I could feel it in the ride, but steering was a little tighter.
tpms says they all were about 85 to 86 psi while running, which makes me wonder about the max 80psi on sidewall

I wonder how much temp creep they design for. I'm getting at least five or six degrees.

225/75/16 tires, they were smaller than I thought just isn't much for the steering wheels. I can understand the smaller twins in back because of size limitations and doubling up. But a "super single" approach to the front with 265's would sure handle a lot better. But one always worries about faking out ABS and speedometer error possibly.

next stop is in South Dakota and it looks a little sketchy, kinda like this one, lots of permanents and only a few transients.

Love reading all the cool temps you guys are having. Been nice here, too.

Yesterday it took me over 3 hours to lube the zero turn. I don't think I'm slow, and pretty sure I didn't fall asleep when I crawled underneath part of it. It has 2 drive shafts, and they can be a bear to line up and reach. Then mowed another 2 hours.

So, today I took Della on her first true mountain climb to the top. Great 50s hiking weather. Great other hikers and their dogs.

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

Soak up those days for the day light getting shorter etc. and we all know what that means.
