Isn't this how life goes, you have lane and highway closures for several years a maybe 15 miles west. That project is winding down at this time, I believe Those possible detours are graveled but many miles of dust and wash-board in the months ahead. A good chance to made those Toll roads giving locals a free pass and others a $XXX.xx toll. Clay, My suggestion to limit traffic.

New Price: $17,350 Send me an email if you have any questions.

I guess the solution is just to get out of California.

The EPA can not levy criminal fines but it can take states to court and win civil fines. While the EPA generally lets the states administer air pollution programs to meet the standards it can overrule or take over the programs if it is not satisfied the targets are being met. Personally I would like to see Texas take a page from Colorado where gas engines are only required to take emissions tests in certain counties whereas diesel engines are required to statewide. Maybe it would get rid of all these folks that think giant exhaust pipes blowing massive clouds of black smoke is fun.

Many times these warnings, whether there is cause for concern or not, are at the behest of the lawyers thanks to our litigious society. It seems like virtually anything that is sold in California carries a Prop 65 warning which we all see no matter where else we are.

I'm so happy to report Tuna came back on Saturday and just passed her post walk-a-bout in the wild Vet exam. I was told I am a very lucky Cat Person. Thanks to my Daughter in reminding me to apply the "Tick and Flea" medication right away to both Cats and I also gave them their first "Heart Worm" meds for the season. I'm not on the search for the right "Collar" that will accept some sort of a 'Tracking' device. I am less than happy with the "Microchip". The reader has to be within a few millimeters of the implant to pick it up. Does not help at all with finding a lost animal. Only if they are turned into an Animal Shelter or taken to a responsible Vet Clinic and are scanned. I don't think "Pet Link" is informed about the scans unless there is a question about ownership of the pet. None of the Vet's have verified the address I have listed for my Pet's because it's always different from what I give them as my personal address. Will never pay for a Microchip implant again. Rod

Yep, the link works now. I sort of miss my Mini at times, but the Jeep loads much easier. I also can't to a dark colored car. ' Good luck with the sale. Rod

Loss of federal highway funds, true but not fines, or at least none were ever reported in the Dallas area. Can you share some sort of documentation about those fines? Highway money is a pretty good hammer and is used by Congress over states quite frequently.

Semantics. The Federal government EPA sets the air quality standards and then delegates the responsibility of enforcement to the States. Texas, for example, was threatened with fines and loss of fed money if they didn't comply. Before they could build out all the emissions testing stations, some counties were removed from the mandate because of new pollution data.

I believe this is what I used for the 3rd air bag.

I use a Y however I have it is after the water filter. The water filter with it's flexible hose is connected to the parks water, then the pressure regulator and then the Y. Just last week I replaced my regulator with one I bought new 3 years ago. I noticed on the package it said "Lead Free" but on the back warning label it said it may contain lead. 🙃 My Y is brass.

I fixed the link. It should work now.

I was commenting more in general regarding the earlier Medicare Advantage comments. I'm glad you got your situation worked out.

Couldn't get the Facebook link to work.

We are selling because we no longer own the RV. We switched from a Class A to a 5th Wheel. Mini Cooper has 46600 miles. Super easy to tow. Hook the car up using the Blue Ox towing system that is included in the price, put the car into neutral, and lock the door. I don't think it gets much easier that that. It only weighs approximately 2500 lbs so it is easy to tow. We couldn't even tell it was behind us even in the mountains out west. Price includes the Blue Ox Tow bar. If you are interested in the Thule bike rack, we can work out a price. Price is 20,500 and it is negotiable. See Facebook posting for pictures. I couldn't get pictures to load. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/955955332668325/

I was already familiar with Morefine as a little known manufacturer for other big name SSD brands and I picked up several of their 1TB 2.5" SATA SSDs to use as 2nd storage drives on my Dell micro 5080 i5 10th gen six core which I upgraded to a WD Black 1TB M.2 NVMe drive and one of those Morefine 1TB SSDs on the piggyback drive slot inside. The Dell micro is bigger than the Morefine but is still amazing how much they cram in there that runs cool and fast.This pic is the Dell5080 Micro with the M.2 already installed and the 32GB RAM under the fan which you can't see.This pic I took when I installed the 1TB storage drive in the blue carrier. The upgrades: And as the backup storage drive on my 24" Dell AIO touchscreen i7/2TB/32GB, in which I also installed a WD Black SN770 M.2 and an identical piggyback drive bracket filled with a Morefine 1TB SSD for a second drive 2.5" SATA like laptops use/used to use. I have upgraded my external drive cases from HDDs to SSDs and now have two M.2 NVMe drive enclosures that are screaming fast transfers as long as the computer is recent and has USB C and USB A 3.0/3.1/3.2 fast ports. The Morefine SSDs were so well done I didn't hesitate to try their M8s Micro computer.They even can play games in lower settings Here are two reviews, the first is a review in depth of the Morefine M8s I have, and the second is a review of the top five Micro computers using the newish Intel N100 processor. The only thing I can't upgrade is RAM as when they get this small it is soldered to the Motherboard. But the main drive and speeds cane tweaked easily. Morefine M8S review: Top five Micro N100 computers using the N100 processor and one is the Firebat with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is only $122! But it is from Ali Express which I hate using. I prefer Amazon or even TEMU over Ali Express, YMMV: In summary the micro computer have come of age and are great values for the average user. Hey it's my hobby and is way cheaper than any one of my old hobbies, Skiing/Scuba/Hunting, which I can't do anymore because - Old Fart. And no travel to play with tech toys before selling for some new toys.

Think 48 inches. Same as my last truck. Didn’t quite get it done yesterday. Should be able to get that part done today.

I have been using it for 3+ years. One long trip a year and a few short ones. We love it. I set the amount of hours I want to travel (6) and set the average speed to 50mph. I also choose non interstate. Then I see what town falls around the 6 hour mark and look for a place to stay...Usually I look at Harvest Host and find one in that area. With the setting I choose I like the fact that we usually arrive earlier than predicted (opposite of what Google maps would predict) We use the website for planning, the app on the phone when driving....The app sometimes use to glitch out, but not lately.

Stumbled upon this thread. Very true that facebook is not as good as forums. Times a changing. This is my first post here. Maybe I will go look for an introduction section.

Not to mention we are to "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's". I heard a man say one time, "there will be more people in Hell because of stinginess than any other reason." I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised.

We measured it today at 50 1/2 inches. Just saying. If you stop by some day we can measure mine to see what it is.

Kirk we would have loved to take you further into the bush and shown you "real" boondocking. But that would have required more time and a "real" setup. Next time! For those interested in what is now quite common in Australia Google ' All Terrain Warriors Australia' on Facebook. Another source of what is common in Australia is Molly Dixon on YouTube. Ignore Molly if you can but look at her setup. No her RV setup! Yeah I know it's hard to take your eyes off Molly but her rig is a very typical setup. No a/c. No shower. No toilets. But lots of fun. Keep in mind that just like food, we all like something different.
