That makes me shiver!

I had to turn the heat on looking at that.

My 2 cents: 2013 Lincoln MKX. Start and run for 5 minutes while hooking up. Stop 2 hours later and run for 5 minutes while stretching legs. Final stop, start and run while unhooking. More serious to do this if in mountainous country as the jake/exhaust brake activates the brake lights on the toad and can run down the battery more quickly. Been towing the MKX since new and only time I had problems was when I did not stop and run it for 5 minutes. Now-a-days I carry a USB Battery Jumper similar to this. It works well. They have others with more capacity.

I got rid of the $70 a month phone bill from AT&T years ago and went with Magic Jack. The app on the cell phone does not need Wifi to operate. As DocJ stated, and my iPhone will call over WiFi when connected. This past year we went from MiFi to unlimited on iPhone. I have noticed a large reduction in speed when using the AT&T Hot Spot.

Absolutely saw him move. When we pulled up alongside of hm at a light I put the window down and exclaimed, "Cute." The driver nodded his head and the dog looked at me. At one point on the highway the dog put his head on the left shoulder of the rider. My friend is a veterinarian and when he saw the picture he said he had seen that combination before. He thought it might be the same owner and dog.

Joe, that is just the strap from the pack that he is carring. It goes around his head. The other leg of the dog did not have anything on it. My assumption would be that rider gets on, dog gets on and in position (whatever order), and the the pack is lifted and slung over the head, capturing lightly the dog's leg. Just my observation of how I would do it.

Safety observation, that's all. Since there is a law for back of a pickup, is there one for on the back of a motorcycle, that's all.

Texas doesn't have a helmet law - but not sure for dogs. I do know that in Galveston County it is unlawful to have a dog in the back of a pick-up truck that is not tethered. In my past lifetime I worked for a veterinarian and one day a dog was carried in. His back paws were bloody and raw. He was tethered but either fell out or jumped out of the truck only to have the tether hold his body up all except his hind feet. For shame. Tethering is to make sure the dog can only go so far in either direction and not give enough slack that he can get out of of the bed of the truck. Like I said, the dog on the MC was cute but dangerous. The MC driver didn't have a care in the world but the rubber neckers sure could have caused an accident.

Herman, does that price include phone calls and messaging also, or is it just for data using a MiFi or other hot spot?

Yesterday was 74?, and today it's 48?, we are already in the roller coaster weather pattern. I posted this on another forum but just had to share it here: You will not believe this picture. As we were headed out of town I caught this guy pulling out of the Vet's clinic and I had to pull into a lot and wait for him to get through the light. Earlene took the picture. He left Texas City and took I-45N to Dickinson, about 8-10 miles and on the freeway it was a steady 60 mph (in the 55 mph construction zone) The dog sat behind him with his front paws on the guy's shoulders and stayed there the entire time. He was taller than the driver so he was looking over the drier's head. Real cool - but dangerous.

The longer you look at them the less obtrusive they become.

Do you get HD with the dome? In my heyday DirecTV could not provide HD to any Dome antenna and that is what I went with Dish. Never regretted it. I have the Hopper 3 at the house and if I want to I can record 16 channels at one time. In the MH I have the Wally, only record 2, but I got all the HD in the previous with a Dome and now with the Traveler it's a piece of cake.

Roland, prayers for your son and you. We presently are thinking of going down to Port Aransas in the middle of January for two weeks then maybe down to Mission for two weeks. Might be a coffee day somewhere in the neighborhood.

I used a BLue Ox tow screen for several years on my 2007 Saturn, and then on my 2013 MKX. Not much of a hassle connecting it but eventually it wore out. However, during that time chips still appeared on the cars, not so much the hood, but the side of the car around the door. Most likely from passing trucks. I'm not sure if there is a 100% cure all. Since I have had the 2013 MKX since 2013, it has a few dings but most likely some are from the MH but the majority are probably from traffic in front of me. Depreciation on the MKX will be so much by the time I sell it or trade it that I'm no longer worried about it.

Ross, have you unplugged and plug the cables a number of times? If so, sometimes they will loosen and lose connectivity or cause problems. Next time it happens see if applying a little pressure on the cable connection in any direction clears it up. Also check the back of the TV. Otherwise, you may have a bad receiver.

Sorry to hear that. Get well, and soon.

Wow! Quite some time and no new unread content. What is everyone doing, sleeping, eating, or what?

"But officer, I got in the HOV lane by accident and the double line will not let me get out." I mean gosh, breaking two laws would make it right, right?

Roger that Ken. Not for big guys.

Correct on many parks do not have HC sites, but many keep a site open close to the wash house to accommodate HC. Many travelers in RV's don't have TOADS, might have a class C or a mini-van, and can have HC plates. Also, rest stops are now having more HC sites so a plate would be good to have. On the other hand, my TOAD has HC plates and the MH has "Disabled Veteran" plates. Gives me the same advantage, if I decided to take the advantage, of paring in an HC spot. Also, many departments of motor vehicles give a good monetary break for HC.

Wow! They are sure proud of their campground. You went over 800 miles in a day's drive! That's 4 days for me!

Texas City, TX, 14 miles from Galveston. Itchin' to go.

Personally it is not the discount that I am after, it is the convenience of not having to stop at toll booth, after toll booth. Discounts are nice, but to me not as nice as the convenience.

John, the key word there is "workED." How long has this family member been retired? Things chage. Personally if I wanted to know something specific about anything I would call that entity and ask questions. There are to many he said, she said things on the Internet and in email. Happy trails!

Can't imagine why anyone would want to go back North until April!?
