You guys are right.....we do stay at decent parks. I didn't retire to live like Grizzly Adams out in the sticks, however, it is nice to go thru the parks to see all the wildlife, and etc. Did that when we were young. Been there done that.

And you're right.......I am full of bull.....but what do you think the little round man with the overhauls does in his fancy smancy HDT and big ol' toyhauler. He a show off big time.....big fish in a little pond syndrome!!! There I feels a whole lots better!!! rockin'

Gotta live like Grizzly Adams out in the sticks. Too much Oak Poop when I was young and now we don't even have a home to call our own. Woe is me!!

And, I really think old W. C. Fields was a pretty bright guy. He seemed to have plenty of clever (smart) things to say. That being the case, I would consider his quotation above to be a compliment. Ho, ho, ho.

SKIA is still da man. No BS.

Book, I always thought that's what this forum was supposed to be, a cybernet campfire for all us other ones to sit around and shoot the bull.

OMG!!!! I can certainly tell by this thread that y'all have certainly taken advantage of me not being here as an Admin/Moderator

Maybe it is a blessing in disguise that I can no longer get notifications of every post. I think I woulda had a stroke by now if I had seen all this "Off-Topic" stuff in a great thread and not been able to fix it.

...now that I have gotten that off my chest...I can go back to this post..

My vote (drum-roll please...) would be based on who had the most posts like this each day - which seems to vary, so there may be one day that Book has the crown and another day when "Still" is wearing it, going right down the line with each of you ...BUT I had no idea that Rockin had taken on split personalities and got to be named twice ...once as SKIA and another as himself...or have I gotten so far outa the loop that we have a new SKIA??

Mama, I think the reason Still named Rockin (SKIA) twice is because: It is a battle of wits with an unarmed person!

"A new SKIA" Never, no way, impossible, can't be, who could beat Tom out of that title. What were you thinking? With all that said, he does have several assistants and backups.

Exclamation Back On Topic!

Heads Up, Gentlemen and Ladies! My second fix on the errant solenoid valve did improve the situation for about TEN DAYS. Then the sag returned. Remember that I turned the screw at the top of the valve approximately 140* clockwise, cycled the jack several times and returned the screw to the original position. Maybe this is something I'll just have to live with, as Tom seems to be doing. However, since this business didn't start until my trailer was 2 1/2 years old I'm inclined to believe that it's not normal (at least for the particular valve in my unit). And, while I understand that this is supposed to be normal in the newer (2010) trailers, Jack did give me instructions on the fix.

I repeated the flushing process again today, cycling the jack as far as possible three times, without putting a load on it, while the trailer was hitched to the truck. Let's hope this works. Or will I be replacing the valve?

Stand by.

Jim
