Okay, got me a camping site here in Joliet..$28.00 a night, check out at 12 noon...Plugged into the 30 amp service....my meter says it is putting out 110 volts...the generator puts out 122 volts...But sure am glad I let Dave at RV One talk me into letting him wire the power up this way, so I could plug in to 30 amp service at a campground! I'll have to do this more often.It seems the a/c is not working as well, unless it is going to take a while to coool the van down on the inside again...nice place, here, real quiet...No pool, but close to the restrooms and shower house..Outside thermometer reads 105 out there....can't wait till fall! Enjoy the e-mail, Ken??? lol....I was in a dream world, but thought it was funny....lol...

If my memory serves me correct, last years numbers for both of us was real close, which is what this post's information is based on..As far as the trashy blond goes,Just an honest, faithful, trustworthy woman who knows how to communicate without yelling or screaming will suit me fine..am I asking for too much?...It's what is in the inside that matters the most to me.As far as a new truck is concerned, this one is doing fine.Paid for, dependable, as long as I keep up on it.Have a few upgrades to do to the outside, to keep it looking as new as possible, but other than that, it does fine.When it hits 500k I will think about replacing it.At that time, other things in my life should be things of the past, enabling me to get another one.Nothing sucks more than having a truck payment and repairs along with it when it is out of warranty.

Was over on FB earlier today and seen a picture of a guy that the poster said something about back in the day bein the "Gangsta of Law"...then also seen the same guy in a picture with a very attractive young lady....Hmmm maybe he was the "Gamgsta....:D

In a motel in McAllen, Tx. I usually refer to it as a break with indoor plumbing & cable tv, and usually, the plumbing is better than what's on tv, but today I watched the entire 'John Adams' miniseries, and it was good. Very good.
It'll be very good to get away from the border, too: last night, an ICE agent was shot a few miles from here - the lawlessness in Mexico is too close for comfort, sometimes.

In Houston, thinking a motel is on par for the day. Then hopefully a load to the yard. Couldn't buy one out of nm. To the yard. Any other time we would have. That's always the way it goes when you need to get there.

lost the alternator on the apu on Mon. So we get empty and I tear it all apart and get this new hipo one I had build for it out to put it on and the dang power lead is 45* off so it won't fit. That was the only thing I never paid attention to when I got it back. Things been in the side box since last fall. Its always the small stuff so we need to run so we don't have to idle.

On another note, picked this hot load up an got 10 miles and started leaking air from an amu. Over the rear end. Called in and was told to get it fixed ASAP. Ya, rite. So we thought. Called Istate truck center in blaine, nm. And to my suprise, got us rite in fixed the gasket between the Amu's charged me 92 bucks and sent me on my way in an hour. Even still made the del on time. Well got there on time didn't del for an hour. Seems I had an hours worth of tv to watch b4 I could get through the gate and a test to take to boot. Made Tina and daisy wait outside cause " no dogs allowed ". 100* and would let them inside. What do ya do , sweat. Poor little daisy's tongue was dragging. But anyway, props to Istate truck center for their understanding. They were full up with repairs but took the time. They are even a frtlnr. Dealer. Couldn't believe it. Restored my faith in frtlnr, a little.

Enjoy the holiday everyone and take a few minutes to remember. I am as I lost an uncle monday. WW2 vet and he was a pilot and belly gunner. Oh the stories he use to tell all us kids.

Sorry to hear of your sad lost tom & my best wishes go to you & the family on this sad news ...
