Nope not since an adjoining property owner upstream sold off lots and made a housing subdivision. Since I sold the cattle and horses only wildlife drink from the stream. That bottom abounds with deer, turkey, and raccoons today. BTW, the creek originates from a spring on that neighbors property. You've peaked my curiosity, I'll test the stream water when it warms up some, to see what is actually in that water now.

Whatever insurance you have, TFL always pays last. Express-scripts co-pay is $14/3 mos supply, for generic brands eff Jan. 1 2024. DW is on Eliquis for a blood clot in her heart; Express-scripts charges $54 for a 3-month supply,much much less than civilian ins. I cannot fathom any of the "advantage plans" being better than standard gov. Medicare and TFL. I spent a month in hospital and nursing home, with kidney dialysis 3X week. I never received a bill for any medical related expenses.

I went on a hunting/fishing trip in the Beartooth mountains of WY. The Guide told us to only drink from our canteens, never drink from the mountains streams as it had a bacteria in it that caused severe intestinal problems. Meanwhile back at my small ranch i always drank from the stream/creek that ran through the bottom land without any ill effects. I just remembered to drink upstream of where the cow plops were.

agesailus addressed water quality very well. To simplify this for the general public, the CDC published this: https://www.cdc.gov/safewater/publications_pages/chlorineresidual.pdf Chlorine dissipates from exposure to air and light, so if you add 1 tsp standard chorine/household bleach per gallon of water in your tank it will keep it safe for drinking for at least a month. You can buy a swimming pool test kit to test for residual chlorine in your onboard tank, but IMO that is overkill. Personally I normally keep my 100G water tank full year; sometimes it sits for 3-4 months and when I've tested it the chlorine residual is still around .2ppm. I do something different though, I use Sodium Dichlor instead of household bleach, which is a different subject.

Indiana vigorously enforces that move over, or slow to 40mph state law for emergency vehicles. It doesn't address POV's but like you I think it prudent if possible.

My MH sat for 2 years without being started. When I did start the main engine everything was normal. I knew the MH would not be started, so I added a biocide to the tank when topping it off to prevent the growth of algae. Diesel fuel does not "go bad" per se. Now if biodiesel sits for years it will stratify, the pure diesel will rise to the top of the tank, leaving 100% biodiesel near the bottom. That is not normally a problem unless you also have water in the tank; that situation allows for this condition: https://criticalfueltech.com/faq.html If your tank has sediment and algae in it, the fuel filters most likely are plugged up and must be replaced,thus the no-start condition. If the algae is bad you may have a tough time remedying the problem. As Randy said, heavy construction equipment is rarely worked on in a garage. Mobile mechanics perform the work at the jobsite unless major engine/transmission work is required. Time for a story. I once bought a diesel farm tractor that had been parked in a fence-row for so long a 4" diameter tree was growing through the frame. I cut the tree, towed the tractor to the road, loaded it and brought it home. I then drained the fuel tank, poured the fuel off the top of the water through a strainer.. I replaced both fuel filters and drained the carb. Next day I poured the fuel back into the tank,primed the system the turned the key. The engine started about the 3rd revolution and ran fine the rest of that tank of fuel. The next year I sold that tractor for a $2,000 profit.

I agree, there are differences in doctors and their treatment methods. I suggest if you are not satisfied with your present doctor, look around and get a 2nd opinion. I too lost about 5#, resulting in the heart Dr. taking me off all my BP and pulse meds because the numbers fell too low; BP is now 117/58, pulse 72 after being off heart meds for a month now. I've changed how I eat so much I'm almost a vegetarian now, and take fish oil caps 3x a day per an internist Dr. Hang in there.

That is a great idea, It's available in Canads, not in the U.S.A. https://www.bmf.ee/products/accessories/robson-drive-system

There are valid reasons the present administration banned tictok from gov. issued devices.

I suspect that function is assigned to the oil pressure sensor.

Cummins diesel engines built in the last 20 years have an oil pressure sensor circuit that will not allow an engine start until the ECM sees oil pressure in the system.

That might be true. I know what happens when you fail in your timing when shifting without using the clutch climbing a steep grade_ not good at all.

duplicate reply, sorry.

Amsoil says their bypass oil filters filter 5% of the oil flowing. Bypass oil filters extend oil life .

The main reason is, N2 is inert with no moisture, will not add to a fire. NASCAR uses N2 for the same reason.

That, if true, would apply to DP MH's too then. Whoever told you that was proudly displaying their ignorance.

When you get near St. Louis, you'll have a great time just North at St. Charles. It's a river town with a lot to see and do.

Yes, I really like the free Samsung TV. Since our Dish Network basic package is now $113.80/month, we're considering dropping dish and just watching free Samsung streaming, and it has more channels (1,400+) than Dish upgrade packages.

Tina-Jim, the M2-112 is a class 7-8 heavy duty truck, it is not a medium=duty truck. The M2-106, depending on configuration can be a medium-duty truck (class 6) or a HDT (class 7-8) reference: https://www.freightliner.com/trucks/m2-112-plus/

Lets get this accurate. Truck classifications explained. Once you read that you can decide if you want/need a medium-duty truck or a class 7-8 truck. The state of registration somewhat dictates which California laws and rules you must follow.

Use this guide for installing a 30Amp 120VAC service receptacle. https://www.myrv.us/electric/ Thanks for reminding me neighbor John.

Some long-term RV parks require you to possess a tow vehicle if you are living in a towable trailer. I'd bet virtually all RV sales and service stores maintain a list of moving companies for RV's. You can even rent a truck set-up for towing a 5er if you wish. https://rvshare.com/ also has a moving section. You can expect to pay about $5 per loaded mile for a move in todays current conditions.

I find it curious that the DoD uses and pushes Chrome browser. Every time I have trouble with one of their websites and call in, they insist I switch to Chrome. (not happening) ?????? I've used FireFox since the version number was in the single digits, it's now 119.
