Well said, Kirk. Legal (?) Status: Includes those "quarantined" in cages - and by now happy to return from whence they came! They weren't included in...... "Everybody that wants to be tested, can be tested" - like the rest of us. Guess "The Buck" doesn't stop where it used to !! New sign = "The Buck Passed Here" But we should be nice and cut the politicians some slack.....after all one state governor didn't know until a few days ago the virus could be spread by those who are asymptomatic. Toss the residents of that state a couple rolls of paper towels (to make masks) and everything will be OK !! .

Liked it. Some may not appreciate the language - but the message is...... RIGHT ON !! No need to shoot the messenger! .

Try: Engaging grey matter - before engaging keyboard...😉 .

What's the big deal? - - Much ado over *NOTHING* !..😕 Reply online, select the address you like (probably the one on the mailing) - and go for it...😉 Takes all of about two minutes - or less. Then......start a *NEW THREAD* about the USPS financial situation or "whatever" comes to mind. Done.

Many (if not all) dentists in So. CA have shut down - except for "emergency" dental work. Many of the Algodones dentists are USA trained - and stay on top of what's going on with their counterparts (and dental schools) North of the border - and following their lead and/or advice. Obviously - dental work requires patient and provider/s being in close proximity to each other. (IMO) - No bueno. .

Social distancing: Some (even "most") = yes. Markets (etc.) doing very well in So. CA. Lots of space in the aisles, marked distance separation on the floor while waiting for checker - with "directors" telling you when to go to the next avail checker. No = News yesterday (3-24) showed an airport shuttle bus for LAX employees (all types - inc'l flight crews) packed in like sardines! Some are working at/in the airport (baggage handlers, etc.) - others are flying to destinations across the country. Got the attention it deserved - - now more buses with adequate(?) space to separate the passengers. BTW & IMO - the Gov of NY presents *excellent* daily news conferences! .

Smart (not car) decision !! .

"Some day.... the IRS".........combine the two, and you have..... "THEIRS" 😉

Progressive Industries is the "gold standard" - - with a Lifetime Warranty !! .

IMO - "I have to go home to file my taxes" - may just be a "convenient" reason. Taxpayers have always had the option of filing for an extension. If the Feds and/or State "owe" you - it's not a big deal. The "at home" tax preparer should be able to easily coordinate same. Mailed to your house? - Ask for a duplicate 1099 to be mailed to your current location. Maybe it works - maybe not. No harm in trying. .

"Craziness" at the market - whether large or small. - No matter where you are - or where you travel. Some are obvious - kids out of school, mom's at home - cooking, baking etc. Previously - you didn't buy groceries on the weekends if you could help it. Now for "shopping" - every day is a Saturday. Good comparison: The Kohl's (favorite for the women folk) parking lot has lots and lots of open spaces. Markets are just the opposite! Short supply - or none: Milk, eggs, bottled water, TP sugar, rice (like Minute rice, etc), produce, TV dinners. Ask when things like eggs or produce are delivered. Received an e-mail from the county libraries - probably about 20. All are closed (kids would go to the local branch after school) - think the library figures they will be overwhelmed by being school-room replacements. Don't return any items checked out. Ignore the return dates! Don't drop off at/in return bins. BE SURE to check with campgrounds whether .....private, city, county, state, fed - to see if they are open and if there are any possible changes on the horizon. Plan well, good luck - enjoy your trip!

The above is a newbie with "minimalist keyboard" sharing advice, KISSS (Keep It Super Simple Stupid), ROTFL. "NIRVC" Translated = National Indoor RV Centers - dealer, service and storage - with several locations, inc'l Vegas. IMO - considering the dates - outdoor storage might be OK and less $$ ? And........Google might be a *better* friend.

WHERE is the picture/s ?? You should have made their day - asked for a Sports Illustrated pose or three! BTW - carry large zip-lock bag/s with your beach chairs for use as Barf Bags. Reminded me........many years ago one of my pilot friends was trying to build his hours, flying as 2nd Officer on a DC-3 shuffling prospective customers from So. CA (Van Nuys Airport) to a Del Webb development in the desert. The folks in charge "employed" a long-time retired stewardess (before "flight attendants") to ply the passengers with whatever food and libations. Unfortunately, she was a genuine "ornery" PITA - not conductive to a pleasant flying "experience" for passengers -or- congeniality with the pilot & co-pilot. She also had failed the mandatory weigh-ins (of the era) for stews many years previously! So, during the flight......the Capt asked my friend to call her up to the cockpit - and bring a sick sack. She supplied same, then went back to her other duties. A few moments later, the Capt asked the co-pilot to ask her to come back to retrieve the bag - which now contained the contents of a can of beef stew the Capt had deposited in the bag in the interim. After gingerly handing it to her....just as she turned around to leave - he called her back - and asked for the bag again. When she handed it back, he opened it - carefully inspected the contents..... selected a nice chunk of meat which he popped into his mouth - then returned the bag. Problem solved - she quit after that flight. Maybe after the beach photos??? .

Just "me": Never had anything to do with CW. However, *if* ........The Sky Is Falling !! Duck and Cover !! 😉 .

Call Kali whatever you like..... ..... the CHP will be more than happy to issue formal "Greetings" to the operators of the vehicles in the photos, ROTFL .

Not just a "mess" - a bio-hazard! Don't know where you travel, in many jurisdictions - -city, county, state, fed - - a spill (the mess) could result in a Haz-Mat clean up (and/or citation) and you footing the bill for the response & clean up - as well as the fine...☹️ Accidental discharge *may* (depending on the situation - quantity, etc.) get you off the hook for a fine - but still responsible for a "professional" clean-up. As a former Haz-Mat team member, I can vouch for the above as very factual. .

The last dealer I bought (new) from - provided a PDI via a mobile RV service at their expense. Should add, I had never been to the dealer (in person) previously! "Ordered" the RV via internet & phone, small (reasonable) deposit. Drove 1K miles to pick it up when factory delivered it. (Local CA dealers could not or would not match - or come close to the price). After acceptance (no issues), we "camped" on their lot for two nights - then spent another 4 or 5 days "outfitting" at a local RV campground. During that stay, I (*thought*) I had a problem with the rear stabilizers, called the mobile service that had provided the PDI - they promptly came out to the campground - and showed me that all was OK (my error- operator trouble!) - at no charge. NEVER had any warranty issues (or any others) during the 2 year factory warranty - or since. Would I buy from the same dealer again (even if they are 1,000 miles away)? - You bet !! Don't know if they are still in business - (Marden's in MT) but had been in business for a looooong time when I handed over the check for payment in full! .

A "newbe" poster from Spain (no less) revived it - but you could never find his/the post (ID only) If the OP is still camping there ......he may be under the turf at the 50 Yard line of the new stadium for the Rams and the Chargers, .........waiting for the kickoff of the 2020 NFL season. Sooooo could be time to retire it? 😉

Aztex: Easy answer = No problem! Carry a 50 to 30 adapter (for cg pedestals with only 30 amp) and you're good to go. A surge protector is a "must have" for any RV that connects to an AC source (campground). Check out Progressive Industries. (50 amp PI will work with 30 amp also.) Expensive - but worth every penny! Wouldn't have an RV without 50 amp - besides handling various electrical "loads", like the 2 A/Cs - think *resale*! BTW - for everything Airstream - visit "Airforums" ...... (Airstream forums). https://www.airforums.com .

"Professor95": How about....... video record (via camera at the event) - then put on YouTube. Would be MUCH appreciated !! .

Thank you (??) It's a "regional" thing. Zero benefit *unless* you travel in areas where it's good - - and are willing to shell out the $$. Happy tolls to you - and you're welcome (also). .

Steps are still steps! (Stairs are stairs?) There is more than one outfit that makes a (relatively simple) folding chair type of lift (attaches to the side) of/for Motor Homes which would also work for HDT & MDT. There are variations for farm tractors, etc. IIRC one of them is based in AZ. Google is your friend. On edit: Google should lead you to several on YouTube for both non-ambulatory (folks requiring a wheel chair) - and ambulatory (bad knees, etc.) one of which is a "stand-on" type ("Burr Lift"). Note: Re-injury of (any) knee surgery may require total knee replacement! Makes those lifts look like an excellent idea...🙂 .

Suggest: Maybe a processor problem (the "brains" for the system) - resulting in the "Dreaded Blue Screen"? *If* you can connect only one "off system" item to the monitor by whatever input - check to see if the monitor is OK. You might try posting in the "Technical Tips and Tricks" forum (here). And - try the same in the "Technology Corner" forum on RV. Net Open Roads Forums - LOTS more "computer related" info & discussion/s. Also individual (separate) forums for class A & C Motor Homes (someone with same brand / problem-solution may reply) as well as a "Tech Issues" forum. .

Check Amazon for - "12Volt inline submersible pump" (or "water"pumps) - many, many choices - including the Rule brand at 280 gph for $28.47 The OP (or buyer) would have to decide how to apply "potable" to the choices, as many are intended for a variety of fluids. (Apparently one is stainless steel). IMO - the pumps utilized in RV applications are "nothing special" - could just as easily be for decorative fountains, etc. For me it would be "sanitize and use". .

"If you let the residue dry out........" - AKA...The Mountain of Doom !!...😕 Also - Ditto on the Mtn & the Veggie oil info - - (from my first TT in 1976!) .
