I was the ugly one, who where you. Small world. I picked them up in Weathford, TX. I wanted to go to the West Coast and make the whole trip but the accident happened and put riding days behind me. Oh! I won't tell how fast I had to go to catch up with my group! I did keep my mouth shut though, first time ever and last!

How 'bout non-political pile of ..... wood!

Okay! I just have to tell this. Back in 2006 on a Run For The Wall (think hundreds of motorcycles) we were traveling along side by side and there were about 200 or so bikes in 3 different formations, side by side, staggered and trikes. I was in the first formation about 5 back of about 50 or so and side by side. I looked over at my side partner and started to shout something. Picture this; teeth flew out and I watch as it crossed in front of me from wind and was gone - over my shoulder. I pulled over to the side and stopped. I was probably 100 feet or so from where they flew out. I had to wait for the rest of the bikes to go by. I started walking along the side of the road. About 75 feet or so, lo and behold, sitting on a tuft of grass smiling up at me was my full plate. I picked it up and it was covered in sand. No way was I going to put THAT in my mouth. I walked back to my bike thinking I would just put them in my saddle bag when I saw, just across from where my bike was, a little "pull-in park" AND IT HAD a water fountain. Went over, washed the teeth off, stuck them in my mouth and started running my tongue around. Found one tooth on the right side that has a small chip. Must have it the grass hard. Yes, I was very, very luck that I did not have to eat soup for the next week. I subsequently purchases some dental stick-em stuff. True story!

RV Log Book on Amazon Lot of other ones out there also.

MIke, it is such a travesty that you even have to ask that question. Personally I'd say fly whatever you want. You are going to be among other RV'ers and hopefully will not have a problem. If a group does come by and it looks bad you can always take it down, but I would never take down the U.S. Flag, never.

You can satisfy some people some of the time, but you can't satisfy all the people all the time.

Good, she'll keep you in line!

Wear big shoes when you reboot the computer. Don't want to stub your toes.

I'd like to see you start grading his posts. Hee hee!

Yep! And I take it out of "overdrive" but if it is still shifting up and down I'll drop it down a gear. Thanks.

Testing edit, okay, edit worked. Now where is the delete button. I may save something I really shouldn't save and would like to delete it. Oh, and now you let everyone know I edited it. I may have wanted to keep that to myself. Sheesh!

Doc, If the grade is consistent and not up and down I use the throttle method, but as you said if the speed and grade are changing it is better to downshift. In my last life I had a Cummins 340 and towing a LIncoln MKX it didn't like the grades to much. Don't remember the specific grade going out west but on one of them I was in 2nd and 20 mph. In my present life it is a Cummins 450. Haven't been on any real steep ones but on the rolling hills it doesn't even hiccup.

You really think I'm supposed to trust Herman!! Carl, glad it worked out. Now just stop ogling the ladies. At least, don't let Linda catch you.

Still no edit.

I learned long ago that if you see the grade coming, press on the accelerator until you are matching the cruise control speed then take it off of cruise control and never, I say never, move your foot. As you climb the grade you will slow down and you transmission will do what it is supposed to do and down shift keeping the rpm's around 2000 or a little higher and keeping the temperature down. Hey, works for me.

It merged my reply.

Exactly how NC QuickPass/EZPass works and only $7.50 for transponder.

I didn't know what to do with myself for the first hour after I got up. Frustrating!

Carl, how did the second cataract surgery go??

My coach, the jacks go down, level, then slides out. Revers is slides in, jacks up. However I could do it either way as they are independent of each other. It's just better to have the coach level as to not catiwampus the slide.

Glad it's back. I miss all my friends that live in here.

Only for diesel and I think only in truck lanes.

I think closing the slides is the better option. We always do. I don't understand why putting the jacks up is a necessity, could someone explain.?

Oh wow! All my friends are running around in my little computer again. Great!
