That's exactly what they do when I get my tanks refilled at both a propane supplier or Tractor Supply. However, they both are filling them while sitting them on a scale as the scale is required by Texas law.

Yes, indeed, but my comment was made in reply to a comment about composite tanks. /sigh/

Well, no that is not true at least according to the manufacturer I linked to.

Interesting! First I guess I did not know there was such a thing. They look interesting. They need to be recertified every five years and for one company at least they have a look up map.

Do you have an AT&T store near you? They also can help with DirecTv stuff.

In following this thread and doing a little research of my own the RVIA currently uses three documents: NFPA 1192-2021, ANSI A119.5, and NEC 552-2020. These cover RVs and park model RVs. If you have $485 laying around you can purchase both handbooks that provide all the guidance for your own viewing. There are actually two states (NE and WA) that have code requirements for RVs. I think that the RVIA members do try to comply as the inspections are supposedly random and as a self-governing organization they don't want to get shut down by the NHTSA which does have authority.

It has been a while since I got a tank recertified and I thought this was about normal, however.... In doing some research I found the that the price varies based on the type of recertification done and can go as much as $3-$4 per pound of propane held. Well, heck that could make it cost more to recertify than the cost of a new tank which has a 12 year certification. 30# tanks at Tractor Supply run $110. In some locations selling propane in an expire tank comes with some very heavy penalties which is why places where you get them refilled will decline to fill an expired tank. Those same penalties also apply to places the Blue Rhino and Amerigas so if you are getting an expired tank I would call them on it or at least examine the tank before taking it to check the date. Here is how to read the dates on the tanks for certification and recertification.

Not quite. You have to take two Shingrix shots separated by 2 - 6 months and the new pneumonia shot requires two shots as well separated by one year. That is for us folks 65 and over.

The only electric trolleys I recall had overhead electric lines that they connected to for power. That is still current technology using overhead lines like the Denver Light Rail or an electrified third rail like the New York subways.

Very true, but they do not refer to the diesel portion as "backup", the two components operate as one.

'm not a firefighter but 2 hours to arrive on scene, fight the fire, and return to the fire house doesn't seem like enough time. I'm not sure I see the value in this fire truck when it can operate 3 times longer on diesel "backup". https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1135900_lafd-electric-fire-engine-delivered?ta=&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A Trending Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1Qc6KIplUd39GWnj97kwfVCdyzrc0vsiERVMHNF1Ll0Dmwfr2mEWDVn8g

I checked where my son goes boondocking a lot and the coverage looks accurate for Verizon which provides his service.

Here is a picture.

Yes. Don't be afraid to manually shift your automatic transmission. Let the gearing and back pressure on the engine do as much of the braking as you can. If you feel the need to brake to slow down lightly PUMP your brakes. That will prevent them from overheating.

I was told there were relays in the front basement. I know there are a ton of wires in the compartment housing the batteries so I will look for that too. It is not the Montana inCommand system so it does have switches. They are rocker type - one way out the other in. The slides are electric although I have no idea where the motor might be. How do I identify the type of slide? They have a black strip in both sides that almost looks like it is meant to engage a gear - does it? There is no sign of a mechanism under the slides save for some visible rollers.

So I am getting a dish out of a cabinet and all of a sudden I hear a noise and the wife starts yelling. Turns out the slide in the den on the road side started to come in on its own. It came in about 10" and then quit. All the other slides work but that one will not come in or go out now. I have no idea where to go beyond what I have done. None of the 12v fuses are showing the light like they do when one blows. No 120v circuit breakers have tripped. The only 12v fuse that is labeled for a slide is the kitchen slide. I know that the wire should be purple/white and labeled #3 (I think) but I have no idea where it might be. Any and all ideas are welcome! If nothing else I would like to get the slide out manually if possible before we get anymore rain, which thankfully is not forecast until Friday.

Windows -Alt-R gives me the recording function and Windows-R brings up the Run Command.

What Linda said although you don't have to go that far south. If you cross them on I-80 it hardly seems like mountain driving. Don't forget that you will have to cross the Sierras as well. Personally I would go with US-2 from the UP to Duluth, I-35 to Mission Creek, the cut the corner to St. Cloud and pick up I-94, then on to Billings and pick up I-90. You will see some fantastic scenery along the way.

Well the sad part was that his truck was made in Kentucky by UAW employees but it was badged Toyota and therefore a foreign car.

To this I say maybe or maybe not. It would likely depend on how the union those workers belonged to felt about it. A number of years back my son had the unpleasant experience of the union he belonged to not allowing him to park at the union hall because he bought a truck that "was not made in the USA". Is this the same? Sort of. The union may not approve of mingling with something that is trying to end what they are working on. Is that logical? I don't know.

That is interesting! I hope the technology pans out.

She was a great lady and I can not remember a time when she was not the Queen. She will be missed. I had opportunity a number of years ago to see her fairly up close when we attended the Highland Games at Balmoral. My son swears she was looking directly at and waving to us specifically. Whether she was or wasn't that remains one of his most vivid memories of our time in Scotland.

And in Colorado you would be incorrect. Colorado Revised Statute section 44-20-302 (2020) says: No person, firm, or corporation, whether owner, proprietor, agent, or employee, shall keep open, operate, or assist in keeping open or operating any place or premises or residences, whether open or closed, for the purpose of selling, bartering, or exchanging or offering for sale, barter, or exchange any motor vehicle, whether new, used, or secondhand, on the first day of the week commonly called Sunday. Here in Texas a car dealer can be open on Sunday but they can not be open on both Saturday and Sunday. They need to be close one day or the other. Every state has their own set of regulations.

Not exactly. There are showrooms here in Texas that let you kick the tires so to speak and then they help you make your purchase online. Your car is delivered somewhere outside of the state where you "take delivery" and then Tesla will truck it to your residence. I also read there is a recent update to New Mexico where Tesla struck a deal with a reservation and they are going to sell them and have a service center on tribal lands where the state of New Mexico can't touch them. Who knows, maybe Tesla will use that loophole here in Texas.
