I believe there might be a magnet or two hidden inside!

I'm trying to keep my camp TT from getting that musty smell. Someone told my
girlfriend I should put a few small bags of charcoal around the TT and it'll
absorb the smell. She didn't know to ask if it was activated carbon like you
find in fish tanks or just old fashioned BBQ ...

We've had a cancellation for the gathering in Wenatchee, so site 17 is

I have Dish which uses sats 110-119-129. The antenna usually points about
south. The question is if I am only getting sat 119 which way is sat 110 ?
Left or right of 119. Are they lined up in the sky 110-119-129 from left to
right or are they 129-119-110 left to right. I have ...

Or at least for a while. We left Hagerman, ID this morning at about 8:30,
and got into Gardiner at 4:30. The time included a stop for breakfast in
Burley, ID, and gas in Ashton, ID @$3.399. I just can't get in the habit of
checking diesel, but I'll try to remember, or maybe not.

Does anyone else also have a Costco AMEX credit card and use it to purchase
gas?  If so, have you noticed a purchasing limit per swipe?  I believe this
is what I encountered when the pump shut off at $99.00.  My tank wasn't all
the way empty when I filled up so the $99.00 gave me ...

My friend Ken died suddenly this week, and now his widow is wrestling
with sale of their diesel pusher Alpa Motor Home.  She can't (or
won't) learn to drive it and doesn't intend to keep it.
A consignment sale seems to be the better way to go for her rather

We need to leave the Bulgemobile parked somewhere in the Vancouver area
for three or four weeks.  We plan to empty the fridge, so we don't need
any hookups.
Since everything we own is in the rig, we need a location with some

I reported a few days back about trying to cancel my Good Sam GMAC
insurance. When I called them on March 24 to cancel the policy that
expired on April 11, they tried to charge me $50 to cancel the policy. I
informed that that I wasn't asking for a refund, but did not desire to

.....At least a happy ending from my POV.
Last June 17, 2007, while on the road in Bend, Oregon, I
bought a Garmin C340 GPS. Great unit and worked well
until last Thursday when it took a dump while southbound

Jackie and I went to this campground in the upper Skagit Valley last weekend
and took a few pics. If you're bored to tears and your latest beer delivery
hasn't arrived, yet, you can see a few them here:

Great!  Middle of the day on April 18th, and it's snowing as I type this...
Okay, howz about one of you global warming loonies 'splain this for
me...(:-o)!
Dusty -- on a low hill south-west of Lake Stevens, Wa.

an all time record 24 hour snowfall of 19 inches was set at
Watertown SD on Saturday, April 26th. This breaks the old all time 24
hour snowfall record of 16.0 inches set on March 24, 1937.

We left Lon and Carolyn in Bartow, Fl last Sat., (not yesterday,) and
traveled the back roads to the Panhandle to visit with the oldest son and
family.  We left Santa Rosa Beach Sat., and overnighter in Birmingham, AL
before coming in to Raccoon Valley today at 3 PM ... Lon and ...

Does anybody know the site from where I can download draw files that can be
inserted in to the Street Atlas mapping program?
Thank you,
