wow, I had a hard time following the electrical discussion, and am very impressed with what David is building.
Multiple systems coordinated by a logic path of operation that hopefully will all work as planned. Of course, just shut down number one
and then see if number two gen turns on. I like it, belt and suspenders.
Have spent the last two hours working on my big trip. I will discuss all the details in the other thread, but having a great deal of fun picking out the best restaurants
in certain towns located about three hours from my starting point. Then I use Google Earth to zoom in on the restaurant and see if it has enough parking.
Downtown street parking is out. Somewhat suburban restaurants with big parking lots or located in a shopping center work best. I also look around the block to see if somewhere else to park. But I did pick a Thai restaurant in Montgomery Alabama, for a change, that was right down near the water in the heart of town. But I saw municipal parking there, so it was a go. Have the home to Panama City Florida first pass done. Going to post chunks of the trip at a time. Next one will be all of Texas and then headed west to Las Vegas. That is a feature rich area to be sure.
kind of killing time waiting for a little more heat outside. Need to get a few more things done before rain comes in later this week.
One of the big travel books I have is called Road Food, a classic, and I'm always checking there first in case I go through the cities they mention.
I intend to eat well on this trip. But I also found a vegan restaurant in Austin that I will try. The Creole food will be fun, need to be careful it's
not too spicy for me. My best friend is a genuine foodie and he is researching good restaurants too. They are likely to take a similar path on a future trip, normally
they have gone the Northern routes since they were headed to Washington, but when you think of all the good food, and different foods, to eat along the way,
my friends are equally interested. I'd much prefer a small local beanery than a fancy restaurant. I'm doing lunch anyway most of the time and if I overeat I'll be sleepy behind the wheel, which is not good. Doggie bags will be used as much as I can.
My wife and I stopped at 23 marinas in 30 days going down to Miami in our boat. We told folks we were eating our way down the coast, as we always sought out any nearby restaurants. Some places were a bit remote and that's when my wife cooked dinner, which she really enjoyed. To make this trip with a woman who liked to cook, man I'd be 300 pounds by the end....
Like being on a cruise ship for 6 weeks. I really need to eat my veggies and salad, and yogurt.
made an appt for rv to get oil changed at 2300 miles, at local european car place. They didn't mind doing it outside if need be. No one has a door it will fit under.
This is just the break in oil, which they say of course doesn't need to be done until 10k miles, but I'm old school and I want all the metal out of there. MB only allows one specific version of Mobil 1, I think 11 or 12 quarts. Plus a cartridge filter which always gets me slimed, glad he is doing it. It's really not hard to do, rv sits up enough you can get in there.
