keyhole51walleye Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 On the up side of my hospital stay my roommate was a druggie and her visitors were all gang bangers (neck tattoos and all) from listening to their conversations through the curtain I learned so much about prison, probation and how to freebase oxycontin (sp?) to get a 6 hour high -- so much more than I ever wanted to know. Norah Hmmm, sounds like a typical discussion when I taught high school. Glad to hear you recivered from your hamburger diet, my daughter is a vegetarian or was and is slowly changing her diet back by introducing a little meat, She did always eat fish so maybe a better name is pescatarian.

chiefneon Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Howdy! Don't post much but do monitor the site daily to keep up with what going on with classmates. We do have great news. We got our 5er out of the repair shop yesterday and repairs and new tires and rims look good. Its great to be back into our home after a two week stay in a Hotel. We are staying in Reno until after the 4th of July holidays to make sure all repairs are correct, and receive some mail. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July holiday.

JoeandMarcia Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hey Gary< Did you check on the nitrogen?

lelandschliep Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Did you ever have a slow parts clerk cost you amost $500? I just did. Boy oh boy. We went to the RV parts place to get some camper tape (should be about$10). While I was waiting for this slow clerk, Cathy was looking around the store. That's what did it. She found a perfect replacement microwave oven for only $$$$. No helping it once she had spotted it. The nice, but slow clerk even helped haul it out to the car! Now if he'd been up to speed and I'd have gotten my camper tape and escaped.... But it was not to be. Of course the reality is that we've been looking for a new convection microwave ever since I blew up the old one. Now that chore is over.

I ask my cousin who runs a tire shop and he said it holds a constant temp, not letting them get too hot so it might be worth checking out. Howdy! Joe, have not checked on putting nitrogen in the tires. The new tires G114 H are rated at 4,805 lbs single weight, and have a speed rating of 75 mph. So we will see how they due, but will keep the nitrogen in mind. The Goodyear G614 tire we had is the heaviest "Special Trailer" tire made but with all the problems everyone has had including us I just don't think they handle the weight they are rated at. That's not saying we may be a little over our GWR, and you know I'm not going to talk Karen out of any rocks anytime soon.

And what makes you think her plan to spend the money before I get a chance to is a new thing?? I have a notion that was the plan over 43 years ago when she married me.

nana25k Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well after a lot of fussing, fuming, research and asking questions we took the truck to a different dealer and paid for a second opinion with out them knowing what the other mechanic told us. Turns out they could not in any way find the things wrong that we were told. This mechanic did find a tech notice about the air flow sensor so they checked it out found it not set right and then updated the computer. Darn thing runs like a top again so we shall see. Its hot hot hot but fortunately we have apool here at the farm so you can guess where we have been. Everyone try and stay cool.

norahg Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Anyone out there finding our 70'S???? 80's will do, but 95+ has got to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only 89 here in Hemet, CA today and no humidity -- not even running the air conditioning. But then there was that 5.4 earthquake that rattled us about an hour ago. Sure glad we have air leveling and don't have to worry about being shaken off the jacks.

We see the surgeon next Wednesday for the results of the tumor/lymph node pathology and to learn what comes next. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

JoeandMarcia Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 PNW sounds do-able one summer, but not this summer. If we took off now it would be snowing there by the time we got there. SE Wis sounds like most of the east now. CA, wild fires, earthquakes, mud slides, high prices, I think I'll pass on that one. We got the oil changed, the fuel filters changed, and a lube job. Had the rig back around 1 so we did lunch with dad,lScott Corey, and Miss Jaelynn before hitting the road! I'm getting rid of the itching!!!!! We made it to Bardstown KY today, sitting in W_M parking lot. We will check out "My old KY Home State Park" tomorrow and if we like it we will hang out there until after the dr appointments Monday. Thinking Fort Knox next week, (looking for the gold). Everyone stay comfortable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
