RE: Finally some cold weather coming.
I don't like sitting inside. Doesn't make any difference if I'm inside because it's too cold or too hot and humid.
Currently, it's 71 here in Crystal River, FL. I'm going outside and do some chores.

RE: Tips when Fueling at truck stops
I just put in my Pilot/Flying J credit card and then type in the control number.
Control number? What is that?
I just fueled at a FJ early this week. I put in my FJ card, then my credit card and fueled. I received 3 cents off per gallon.

RE: Western Pa / NY & Eastern Ohio
I just drove from Pittsburgh to Crystal River, FL earlier this week. Left Pgh Mon. arrived FL Wed.
I stayed at the Walmart in Elkins, NC just off I-77. This is a new Walmart with little traffic. Then the Cracker Barrel at Pooler, GA.
I would not take 301 south of Columbia. I've taken this route. It is 10 miles further than I-95. All of I-95 in GA is now 3 lanes.
The highways down were in great condition. Traffic was very light. The best I've seen in almost 40 years. I drove this route years ago when the WV turnpike was only 2 lanes and I-77 wasn't completed.

RE: Crock Pot Cubed Steak with Gravy
Deb,
I can't envision how this retains the chicken fried steak coating after soaking in gravy for 7 - 8 hours.
This isn't chicken fried steak, it's Crock Pot Cubed Steak with Gravy.

RE: Leaving browsers open
You should only have one browser open. Then open other websites in a new tab. When you close your browser all the tab close. But, the websites you've visited can be seen by looking at your history. No passwords will be saved in your history. Password required websites will open, but at the password required screen. You can also clear your history but NCIS could easily track your browsing habits.

RE: Using elbow fitting for water hookup
I use a brass 90° elbow. I've been using the same one since 1974!

RE: FMCA Michelin Program
When I bought my tires I told my Michelin truck tire dealer that I wanted tires no more than 8 weeks old.

Batteries are like tires.

RE: Suggestions for Thanksgiving dinner for two?
If my mother was alive she would suggest a capon.
My wife would do a turkey breast.
Since we're home in PA my wife has a fresh turkey ordered from the local turkey farm.
We leave for 4 months in FL Black Friday.
Here's a thought. Maybe someone here from NM will invite you for Thanksgiving dinner. That would be a nice gesture.

We stay home in the summers.

RE: Natures Resort in Homasassa Springs
I spent the last 11 winters in this area, but at another RV park. I've driven through Nature's Resort quite a few times. I have friends that stayed there and they liked it. They have a little restaurant and bar overlooking the water.
We'll be in the area after Thanksgiving.

RE: Calif. Purchase by Oregon buyer - Sales Tax ?
Request an "intransit" permit from the CA dealer to take the motorhome back to OR. You'll need proof of insurance. You'll pay your sales tax to OR, which I know has none. You may need some paperwork to prove to the dealer that you are a resident of OR such as utility bills, tax return, etc.

RE: flat towing
From the 2013 Honda Fir Owners Manual.
Pages 159-160
Towing Your Vehicle
Your vehicle can be towed behind a motorhome.
Perform the following procedure before towing your vehicle.
1. Check the transmission fluid level. Make sure the fluid level is between the upper and lower marks.
2. Start the engine.
3. Depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever through all its positions.
4. Shift to (D) and hold for five seconds, then to (N). Let the engine run for three minutes, then turn it off.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Leave the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I). Make sure the steering wheel does not lock.
7. Turn off all the electric devices. Do not use any accessory power sockets.
This can prevent the battery from running down.
1. Shift to (N.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I). Make sure the steering wheel does not lock.
4. Turn off all the electric devices. Do not use any accessory power sockets.
This can prevent the battery from running down.
Extended Towing
If you tow more than 8 hours in one day, you should repeat the “before towing your vehicle procedure” at least every 8 hours.
You also need to perform the following procedure to prevent the battery from running down.
1. Remove the 30 A accessory radio fuse. This fuse is located in the interior fuse box.
2. Store the fuse in a safe place so you do not lose it.
Make sure to reinstall the fuse before you start driving your vehicle.

RE: $US in Canada?
I would get a credit card that charges no foreign transaction fee. See:
http://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards.aspx
http://www.comparecards.com/compare-credit-cards?category=47
There are other comparison websites. Use Google.
