#2 son and wife just arrived and brought me a big box containing a
device smaller than my thumb.  The new Sprint Sierra "Compass" 597.
Plugged it in and it shows an 80% signal inside the motorhome here at

Another thread and the cost of fuel has me thinking about towing
behind my small C.  I understand automatic transmissions do not
respond well to being towed and was pleasantly surprised to see that
some have a modification available.  I assume if they have a mod they

About three  weeks ago I posted about the fuel pump in my MH on a 91 Ford
F53 chassis.  A quick recap.  3 or 4 times over the past 3 years  the engine
has died.  Symptoms the same:  hot outside, hard driving.  Engine acts like

appears to be missing a part.  There is a water hose coming through
the wall but is not attached to anything.  There is also a pipe that
comes out of the top of the toilet and has a short piece of rubber

Yesterday we drove to Cody for groceries. It's a 76 mile trip that took over
2 hours.
Still lots of snow on the way up to Sylvan Pass, but the roads are clear and
the grade down to the East Gate was re-paved last year, so it's a smooth

Can I take my dog into Mexico (and bring him back)?  He has all
required shots.

We hit the road for the summer on Monday and have been having a good
time so far.  The good times started when we arrived in Tennessee.

"We just came back from a quick trip to Sacramento, CA and were
reminded, again, about the "BIG FIX" for I-5 through Sacramento. If

For the globull warming advocates, take note that as I sit here in
Holbrook in a slight drizzle, I see it snowed 5"+ in Flagstaff, AZ
today.  I believe this is the latest measureable snow ever in Flag,
and it might snow in Holbrook tonight.  Normal temp for the date is in
