They are out there and they are waiting for juicy brains !

Well we got hit by a severe storm last night, Lightning, Thunder, heavy
rain.  Yep it is Florida the Lightning Capitol.  All of a sudden I heard
Fire Trucks, Rescue etc.  All on my street.  Saw this after I looked out
the window to see what was going on.  Seems a lightning bolt ...

Wasn't Don of guitar fame giving Vioxx credit for his relief from arthritis?
For those who may have missed the news, it's being pulled off the market.
Hope you can find a replacement, Don.  Have you tried Celebrex?

What's your favorite San Francisco to Yosemite route if you're dragging
a trailer?  And why?
Thanks,

Once again I find myself challenged by my battery potential and
dry-camping (funny term, dry camping, given that my trailer has water,
heat, stove, oven, shower, toilet, and a bed).
Using my Vector battery charger, I charged my battery before heading out.

One comment out of many great replies to my dry-camping battery life
thread made me think one of my problems is that I might not understand
how my refrigerator works!
I've got the Dometic which has a freezer on top and the fridge below.

The last week or so, I've noticed the inside lights blinking yet the
television or any other 110 appliances continue to work normally.  Well
except for the roof A/C since it is controlled by a low voltage wall
mounted thermostat.

I am wondering what the impact of these hurricanes is going to have on
Snowbirds this winter.
I know in Pensacola around 300 (off the top of my head) RV-Sites have
been lost for this winter.  

We have been "no toad" for the last 2 years but decided to try the drive
shaft disconnect on the 2K 4Runner.  Since we needed a complete package we
went to Eagles Pride RV Service at TGO since they were a Remco dealer.  We
are getting the drive shaft disconnect, a Roadmaster ...

Has anyone used the new SA enough to give a review?  I currently have
2004 but would consider buying 2005 if indeed it did provide more
campground info.
TIA,

I don't own an RV but thought maybe this is a good
place to post my question
Id like to buy some kind of folding chair to keep in
trunk of my car

Early next week we plan to travel from Spartanburg NC to near
Nashville TN.  We read here (and had it confirmed by others) that I-40
is closed by storm damage between Asheville & Knoxville.   Anyone know
where, and what detour is suggested?  We hate interstates anyway, but

Has anyone recently made the trip to the Colorado area on I70 recently?
What is the road like and how high are diesel prices through the Midwest
into Colorado?
