I also start the engine every time I stop to 1) make sure battery is good and 2) they recommend it in the manual to keep the tranny lubed (they say each fuel stop but doing it more often doesn't hurt).



I've towed it thousands of miles at this point without any issue so I'm very happy with the setup and the car itself.

We also pull an Equinox, and we love ours. Pull fuse 32, follow a checklist (double checked by both of us) and pull away in about five minutes.

We have saved up our KOA rewards and this will be our last weekend camping until Spring. Boo hoo😥

Many ohms for you all......

So Wayne - where did you stay in Sedona? I see there is a landscape photographer there that does private sessions. And only about a million other things to see and do.
We did not stay in Sedona, we stayed at the KOA in Flagstaff. There may be other CG's in the area but the people we were traveling with wanted to stay at the KOA. Sites are not level, except for some.

Any input would be very much appreciated. This is important stuff.

Many thanks,

Barry and Pat, RVM114
Barry, we keep our wine costs down to $10 and under a bottle, so why care.

Still...it is a pretty nice place as a guest for a week and they aren't even pushy about being pitched to buy a lot. Pretty nice.

We have some family to visit. First is Sandee's brother who flew all the way from IL just to visit us...LOL...actually he had a business trip to Sarasota so we are going to have lunch tomorrow near the Tampa airport before he and his wife fly back. Pretty cool still. The other is that I have an aunt I haven't seen in 4 decades and a couple first cousins too.

Just got back from a long walk around the place with Sandee and Zeus. Still 80* at 7:30 but dark. Tomorrow looks good but the next few days have chances of rain each day...it's FLORIDA! LOL

So....it is nice to land in a place like this

Nice!

Dr; Steve your overweight you need to go on a diet!

Steve; Well doc no offense but I'd like a second opinion.

Dr; Well ok, your fat and ugly too!
Tim, that was real bad. You should always pay someone a compliment. Steve, for a fat person you don't sweat to much. See Tim - compliments, not ugly remarks like you made at Steve. Sheesh!

Ommms for the whole fambly, puppy and all! That w@%#k thing has its uses, income being only one, and I wish both Mary and your son a speedy access to more of it. Perhaps a change of direction is in the cards, something unexpected ... and good. More ommms for puppy. Too sweet to be in pain or danger!

What a gem! When you two gonna make it legal? I need ta know so I can plan to get there if the mutant family is invited( no hotel bills! we bring food...and provide party atmosphere, surely someone of our mutants is qualified to make the matrimony bond....)
OK, enough from me, won't mention it again for ~ half a year. And remember, I look like this at weddings...( well, ok, that was 60 some pounds ago... but you get the drift...)

An unofficial official RV Mutant Matrimonial Bonding Ceremony. Hmmmm.....I think something can be contrived by the RVM Improv Ministry.
Perhaps an opportunity for a gathering?

Suspicious, I goggled the number on my old iPad and read that this is a scam. The operator who answers requests your credit card information before any information can be given.



The only fix to get the gray stripe to go away is to reboot and then clear your browser history and cookies. Be careful!

Good catch Sis!
My history and a sundry of patries are cleared each time I close my browser.
The threat you averted is simply WOWSER.
Hi Lily and Sena!

It was karaoke night at the Tucson Estates AmVets tonight. My versions of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Bobby Darin, and Kermit The Frog were roundly reviled.
Hope I spelled that right.
