  1. Thanks for sharing your test results Zulu. https://www.facebook.com/CaptBillPerkinsUNRescuePilot https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipO9JW8F-f-A3EH816G5Nny_EYtDmHAfvKcF-uEq
  2. Thanks Rickjones for sharing your solution. Cheers https://www.facebook.com/CaptBillPerkinsUNRescuePilot
  3. I towed a 28 foot TT weighing 4000 to 4500 lbs MGW with a 5.2 V8 2 wheel rear drive in flatlands of Texas using WDH with no problems. HOWEVER, I towed the same trailer in the Rockies and mountains of west coast Oregon, Calif and Nevada with a Dodge 2500 V10 4X4 for several years. No way would I try to tow same trailer in mountains with a small V8. Better safe than sorry for my own comfort level. The V10 was a towing monster and YES I could easily afford the gas. Gone fishing now and will check back next month. Happy Camping. https://www.facebook.com/CaptBillPerkinsUNRescuePilot
  4. No surprise. Thanks for the info and warning. Cheers Gone fishing now and will miss your replies, will check back next month. https://www.facebook.com/Pilot-Bill-Perkins-Exotic-Living-And-Travels-in-Far-East-and-SE-Asia-1425108021122523
  5. K4rs. Maybe their original intent is for young people, others first intro to computing, internet, etc and reason for budget low price. So I heard once upon a time many years ago in a land far far away. Just saying. Gone fishing now will check back next month.

  6. You jumped the gun RV. My comment was meant for a few others that always like to snipe my replies because of their j. I normally don't view comments of certain others after I have posted. Cheers. P.S. I thank you for posting the news article but only certain Americans will be allowed to buy the $25,000 car IMHO.
  7. Be interesting to see if this tesla car will actually be allowed for sale in USA at $25,000 price if at all. I would think this would greatly undercut the sales of more expensive teslas and other EV cars now and planned for future. Americans have always been forced to pay higher prices for most everything in the world economy such as drugs for just one example. Just saying. Checking out now. P.S. I have no concern or continuing interest in this topic. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMrizp_KeKkbM7x8OLx6wi-K-XB9fcDPbwmLHwM
  8. I do love spell checkers as they are free very useful idiots like FB and G. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMrizp_KeKkbM7x8OLx6wi-K-XB9fcDPbwmLHwM
  9. I was not aware of a paid Allstays app as I use a free Allstays website constantly to obtain a lot of info on many types of campgrounds and RV parks. Very useful. Never heard of the second app but will check it out. https://www.facebook.com/Pilot-Bill-Perkins-Exotic-Living-And-Travels-in-Far-East-and-SE-Asia-1425108021122523 https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMrizp_KeKkbM7x8OLx6wi-K-XB9fcDPbwmLHwM
  10. I love hydrocortisone and Neosporin. Both have saved the day for me many times over the years on holidays and remote camping, fishing and hiking adventures. For me they work fast within a few days or hours. Cheers and checking out now. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMrizp_KeKkbM7x8OLx6wi-K-XB9fcDPbwmLHwM https://pin.it/5Oa2KKJ
  11. ROTFLMAO!!!!! TB SAT I love watching old color movies filmed inside Glacier NP. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1739912699644241&type=3
  12. In addition to true backwoods of the NF in north california and Oregon I have found many remote almost excellent boondocking spots in north and central Nevada, NE Calif, western Utah and eastern Oregon. These are mostly high desert BLM areas that are far from large towns and away from 4 wheel off road rock climbing areas that are mostly flat non sandy terrain with no appeal to the hell raising dirt bikers and 4 wheelers. Very little snow or ice in winter months but does get cold and very windy often so no tents or shade brellas some times. Although camping in the dirt I use cheap throw away tarps for ground cloths and keep important items off the ground. Bring extra water, batteries, food, winter clothing, etc. Happy trails to all and checking out for now.

  13. I just completed an in person visit with my VA primary care doctor for routine checkup that included labs at main VA hospital campus. Also have AARP Medicare supplemental that also use for travel everywhere plus any VA med facilities along my route of travel (if needed). Both private hospital and VA contact me for in person health care exams/checkups such as VA dental work next week. VA dentist wears both a mask and faceplate. Good for her and me. Many years ago in SE Asia I developed a stubborn rash that would not go away after playing tennis in the heat of day. Pink spots all over me. Local doctor prescribed a cream and rash eventually disappeared. Other rashes have come and gone since then. Best of luck to you and I'm checking out for now. P.S. NYT and post news articles. As of 39 minutes ago CDC corrected their director and now says some vaccinated people can still carry the virus. https://www.facebook.com/william.perkins.79274
  14. Sorry I posted my comment by mistake in this thread and meant to reply to another thread. Cheers
  15. I use different browsers for different websites and different purposes. Works for me. Cannot see comments. Happy Trails
  16. Bears and coons have quite a bit in common along with some two legged critters. "Happy Trails To You" sang Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. This kid's delight and yes I personally met Roy and shook his hand at a Waco rodeo. Still have great color photo of him on Trigger. Will not be viewing further comments.

I used my GI Bill in the 70s for additional FAA advanced pilot license and training at Jet Fleet Corporation in Dallas and night business courses at UT Austin, TX campus Also used the VA VOCAB program to complete my degree in Management Finance and Accounting from 87 to 89. Some nice payback there sports. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1739912699644241&type=3 Bill Perkins as personal civilian and Army Guard pilot to Texas Governor 71 to 74.

  19. Sounds like impending doom to me RV. I still have my yellow shot and health cards from all my years of overseas work and travels plus blank ones never filled out given to me by Singapore health official or maybe embassy staff. The shot card was compact and easy to carry inside the passport. Common sense there folks. I Will not be viewing additional comments.
