RE: Ram Towing Mirrors Extended While Bobtailing

Pretty much the same, BUT what's with the excercise gig and cutting out the donuts:h How am I gonna survive, I work for the police:B
My mirrors stay out 'cause I'm too lazy to re-adjust AND I think they look cool.

RE: Dually in Snow???

Just coming out of an 18 inch snow fall in the flats of Delaware. My opinion: Duals in the snow suck. Thankful that I have a 4x4. Better part of the last week going to and from work has been in 4H at about 25/30 mph on a 50 MPH road. Have good tires, but not a mud/snow tread. Now the wife's Durango has done just fine.
Maybe my problem is the CTD and the 4:10 rears???? :h NAH, that can't be the problem.

RE: Here's your special card!!

Man, that's just sick:B:B Some of us up here in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic couldn't get our rigs out with a MACK truck. Too much ice and snow. And those up in the midwest are worse off than we are. At least they're used to this stuff.
But I do appreciate the sentiment. thanks.:W

RE: Christmas Bonus?

The bus company I work for (part-time), gives everyone a gift card, usually $35.00. Sometimes WAL-MART, sometimes the Mall. Been doing it the past 20 years that I've been with them

RE: The "Big One"

Our rig stays stocked with basics year round. Our threat here would be a hurricane, and we have a plan for that. Wife, kids and grandkids head "inland/up country" with my TV and the rig and one of the girls veh. Me and son in laws tough it out at the home front. We're fighters/medic's/911 dispatchers, so will be needed and DO have facilities to remain in. The girls and grandkids may be a little snug, but at least safe. A hurricane thru here will be gone in 48 hours or less

RE: Travelling in Bad Weather

IF you opt for I-95, there's a campground east side of the DC beltway that is open year round, and from there you can make South of the Border in a day. From there on, you should be OK.

RE: brake problems

dog bone, can't offer any solutions, but I've been using the same Prodigy on my last 3 trailers, last two have been Cedar Creek, 34 & 36 ft. Haven't had any problem, except the one time I forgot to connect the plug into the truck. I'm pulling 8 - 10 thousand miles a year, and no problems. I only have to adjust for pulling SIL's 16 ft garden trailer.

RE: washer/dryer pluming for alumilite 33ckt fiver

Is there a closet that "might of " been for a washer and or washer/dryer?. Would your positioning be close to an area you could tap for water and drain: Gonna be about a 2" drain line. I might suggest 2 seperate 20A circuits, if your doing a washer and a dryer. Make sure you get a dryer that vents to the outside. it can be done, just depends on you cabilities.

RE: HD TV question

That "attachment" to your current batwing MIGHT help draw in a picture if you were in a weak signal area, like 40/50 miles from the transmitter antenna. Again, MIGHT.

RE: Funny Turkey-day stories, (and/or disasters)

Well, he DID post the bird is done (meaning cooked), and I did NOT see mention of any fire, so....... waiting for another chapter. Now me, I inject a little Cajun seasoning when I deep fry.

RE: Funny true story...

Coolbreeze, how long is that tag good for at that rate? Is that an annual fee, or what? I thought I was getting taken for a ride at $120. a year.

RE: TV bed liner or spray liner

Spray in. But check around for which type. Some are like sandpaper when dry, others (mine) have a softer texture. Don't tear up your knees/clothes when kneeling or crawling in the bed. Mine is from a local no-name dealer, so can't give you a brand.

RE: Swine Flu Vaccine?

Being a "first responder", ambulance jockey and firefighter, I've had my H1N1 shot and will get my flu shot next week. Just as a track record, I've been getting a flu shot for the past 12-13 years. I can be "guarenteed" a head cold for 3-4 days sometime every year, but have never had the flue. Do they work? Does for me or I'm very lucky.
Maybe I believe too much, but got my cholera and yellow fever shots when in S/E Asia, and never contracted either one. (Spent 5 years there, most of it on the economy).
Guess I just don't understand the hype for NOT getting protection/prevention.

RE: Storage cupboard strength

Just my 2 cents, but I'd try to keep the weight under 10 pounds per running foot. The problem you might have is that books are heavy, in and of themselves.

RE: The "non-essential must-have" items - What's on your list?

Weather alert radio. Not mandatory, but if your in an area where severe weather might occur, it's nice to have a 20 or 30 minute warning. I found it VERY USEFUL while in Indiana in May and June.
