  1. In the video it shows an alternate part number, though it is not a Workhorse part number.
  2. Here is a link to a youtube video.
  3. I wonder how many people have had a similar experience, but never said anything, just left the Escapees?
  4. Just watched a video on "AZ Expert" youtube channel where he watched two men replace the fabric on an awning in about 20 minutes. They used awning fabric from Rec Pro. https://www.recpro.com/search.php?search_query=awning fabric&section=product When we replaced our awning fabric a few years ago, we got the fabric from Dometic, but I dont recommend them as from the time it was new it allowed water to come through the stitching on the RV side attachment and has since started ripping from one end of the stitching.
  5. Two doors down from our favorite laundromat in Yuma is a bar. One drink to wash, and two, if you want, to dry.
  6. Why didnt Musk solve this issue BEFORE he started launching satellites?
  7. Mail from any particular business, or type of mail that is missing?
  8. I agree, but EVs are improving everyday and will become primetime.
  9. So if something is in the past we shouldnt be bothered with it? So if someone is murdered, we shouldnt hunt for the killer because that happened in the past? In a somewhat free market there is not much the government can do. In the US we could place an excess profits tax on those who seem to "gouging" as we did during WWII. Something like that is only a bandaid to cover the real problem of demand for gasoline and diesel exceeding supply.
  10. Here are three of the three main reasons we are seeing high fuel prices and the subsequent high inflation. One, oil companies all but stopped drilling for oil in 2020 decreasing drilling for new oil by 80% between November 2018 and August of 2020. Second, oil companies shut down five refineries in the USA in 2020. Third, because of the pandemic there is a shortage of chips for vehicles which drove up the cost of both new and used vehicles. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_oil_rotary_rigs https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-refining-capacity-shrinks-45-pandemic-shuts-plants-2021-06-25/
  11. Or he may be wrong. As I have said many times, "It is no accident that virtually all pessimists are buried in unmarked graves."
  12. No way these drivers were guilty of driving at an unsafe speed if they were going 55. Did they fight the tickets in court? If not, they were fools.
  13. The answer to that is easy. If you are one of the 23 year olds who is not grown up, you dont make it in the military.
  14. These trucks got ticketed for going 55 mph? What law were they breaking? Where is 55 mph below the minimum speed?
  15. This is one of my pet peeves when travelling.
  16. Yes, I am sure it is not easy to get all the help the drillers need. After thousands were laid of when drilling was drastically reduced I would guess that many of those laid off workers went other places to find other types of jobs, and may not want to go back to the oil patch.
  17. Here is a chart that shows how drastic oil drilling dropped between November 2018 and August 2020, and how drilling recovering, albeit slowly. The 5 year chart is the most informative. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_oil_rotary_rigs
  18. Oil companies have plenty of leases they could be drilling on. This move has no effect of the lack new wells being drilled. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/oil-gas-companies-lying-much-oil-control-u-s-public-lands/
  19. The question, is not what the government should do, the question is what can the government do? The problem is that drilling for oil nearly stopped in 2020, and it was going to take quite some time to recover in the best of scenarios but with the oil companies not so willing to drill for more oil, it will take the country another year or two to get back where we were in 2018 before the drilling for oil started to decline. If you believe in capitalism then you dont want the government to do anything and let the "market" determine prices. As far as what the government has done in the past during times of fast rising gasoline and diesel prices was to institute wage and price controls that haunt us to this day as well as a 55 mph national speed limit. Does anyone want to return to those days?
  20. Had this been a deer, and not a tire, the advice would be, "dont veer for deer." However, with nanoseconds to make a decision, no one should second guess your decision.
  21. A really great description of what all went into this project, but I didnt see the final price, or did I miss it?
  22. Again, from what you have posted the problem is with the provider not using the correct address when filing the claim, and GEHA can not arbitrarily change the address on the claim from the provider. Contact the provider and tell them they used the wrong address on the claim and resubmit, or update the claim. If anyone is pulling as fast one, I believe it is the provider. It seems to me that the provider has agreed to accept an allowed amount for a physical when in network, which was the $353.00 that GEHA would pay, however, if a provider is out of network then the provider can charge more than the $353.00, and is why the charge was $404.00, and the provider wants you to pay the extra $51.00.
  23. If I were in this situation, I would go back to the provider and tell them that they used the wrong address in filing your claim, and that they should refile or correct the claim using the correct address. Then the provider would accept the $353.00 as paid in full or GEHA would then pay the extra $51.00. In my view, if anyone is scamming you it is the provider by using an incorrect address when they filed the claim with your insurance.
  24. Was your provider in or out of network? Did the bill for the $51.00 come from the provider? From the GEHA website. Does GEHA pay out-of-network? You will pay less if you use a provider in the plan's network. You will pay the most if you use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive a bill from a provider for the difference between the provider's charge and what your plan pays (balance billing).
