Dennis, just because you're the number one talker doesn't mean you're the number on poster.

No! Don't boil them, grill them on the Barbie.

Grilling them to perfection is so much better. Just a tint of grill marks and so succulent. Instructions: Put the lobstahhh belly down on a table. Use a good knife to split it right down the middle. Clean out the nasty part but leave the shell and tail intact. Place on grill meaty side down for about 3-4 minutes (might be shorter) and turn the lobstahhhh over. Put some butter in the shell and on top of the meat of the tail. If you like different spices, use a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika or to your taste and brush the meaty part with the concoction. Continue grilling for 3-4 minutes (may be shorter or longer depending on the lobstahhhh) and enjoy a delicious treat.

Wow! Is your math off. You have over 6500 posts. (Don't look at mine as they exceed yours, but then I have important things to say.)

=========================================

Barb, I saw your sigh and don't fret, I had breakfast a short time ago and can't remember what I had. Luckily I have some coffee left in my cup so I know I'm drinking that but ask me in an hour or so.

Well, when we set up this time and the little slide on the driver's side (12+ ft) went out there was a loud clicking as it reached the end limit. I finally got a mobile rv tech to come out. We tried running it in and out and it is really messed up. It was determined that it is the gear box on the motor assembly.

Part is on order and is supposed to be here on Friday. Expensive part, expensive shipping, frustrating etc., etc., etc. but if this fixes it I'll be a happy camper.

BTW, on level surfaces the jacks seem to be holding the stabilization although there is a definite hydraulic leak on the front passenger jack. One that was not replaced.

Back at the park. Bonita had a spa day at CIT (Central Illinois Trucks ). She got a new air filter, 2 oil filters, 1 fuel filter, fresh oil, new tranny filter and Transynd, radiator degreased and washed, one of two license plate bulbs and the passenger head light replaced.
She will have to go back before we leave town for a new air dryer. The air has been popping off too often so I had them run it down. The safety valve on the dryer is "warn out, failing, tried to get it out and stopped before I broke it."

They were willing to drill it out, but didn't have a dryer on hand which could have stranded us there. The air line between the the compressor and dryer is also rusting out so that will be replaced as well.

Today's total = $1,362.75. About 1.5 hours of that was running through the air system.

The new air dryer is $423. Not sure on the air line part - but the two will probably be about 4 hours labor. So pushing another $grand.

I know. Some of you would be flabbergasted. Personally, I think it was reasonable. And when you consider the heat and humidity in central Illinois - and my unwillingness to do the job if I had a place to do it, a bargain. Tranny good for 2 years, oil and filters for 10,000 miles.

Well don't all post at once!

So... what's your take on air filters for DPs? I'm thinking at $123 (or there bouts depending on make) they're annual no matter what the gauge says.
