Last evening, we were driving our car on I-10 towards Quartzsite at 75 mph,
passing a truck. Just as we crested a hill, still beside the truck, the Olds
Alero (V-6) lost power. Speed dropped like a rock. I slipped it into neutral,
hit my right turn signal and drove to the shoulder ...

This isn't exactly off topic since it is an OUTDOOR forum.  Son-in-law
says some deer are invading his freshly planted grass in Virginia and
he wants to know how to keep them away.  Shooting not permitted in the
area.  Thought some of you folks might know of good suggestions.  May

gas hits $1.52 on the I-20 corridor in Dallas,  a gas war has been
going on between the flying J and others near the Lancaster area,
keep this in mind as you head out on your next trip and gas up at one
of these places on your way out of town, you can check the "gas buddy"

I had to move the motorhome this morning because propane was about
empty.  This is the second day of snow in Amarillo.  The fun began
with curling up the ice and snow covered electric cable.  Then the
slides had ice and snow trying to hold on tight.  The awning dumped

I have my new 5th wheel trailer.  Bought last week in Oregon.  I'm now in the
San Diego area.  I'm looking over the information on licensing the trailer (and
the truck) in South Dakota.  It appears that because no "Manufacturers Certificate

We are selling the 1993 Chrysler LeBaron GTC white convertible that we
used to tow behind the Allegro Bay.  It only has 44000 miles on it,
DeLores bought it new so she is original owner.  It has full REMCO
equipment already installed on it, although we took the tow bar off to

doesn't need a phone line, works from sat, cable, or OTA/etc, does High Def

Looks like I got some water in the fuel in my new 04 cumins Ram, 2500.
Thought it had been running different, drove the fuel down to near
empty and put 5 gallons in and drove 3 or 4 miles then opened the
filter drain valve , some fuel came out. I closed it, drove another

Several months ago, (I don't think it was over a year ago but when your
fulltime time flies.) There was a few post about how to measure you current
usage of your motor home by using cheap parts from Radio Shack and a few from
someplace else.

This story is, you understand, only hypothetical. A person would have
to be a complete fool to do something like what I'm about to
describe.
Let's say that a tired Class 'A' RV driver fueled up in Kingman,

It got rather cold last night, 19 degrees.
This morning we awoke to the strangest white stuff all over things.  It's
really cold, powdery stuff. About 2 inches deep.  But it's melting with the
bright sunshine we have now.  Strange for El Paso.

Minus 13.9 when I hopped in the truck this morning.  Turned over
slowwwwlllllyyyyy but started.  Took forever to warm up.  Scraped off a
thick layer of frost.  Fortunately the sun was shining and I had
windshield wiper fluid good to minus 20.

for the governor of WA. It looks like he will not bring the lawyers

Do any of you know a magic tric for removing the "clip" end of a GM fuel filter
without the special tool they sell for the purpose?
