    We did A 6 night trip downstate to see what the Catskill/lower
Hudson regions were all about.  Saturday was a joyfull introduction to
driving hilly country in a driving rain.  The week was a lesson on why
the rolling cabin beats a tent!!  Rain every day, cold most.  The main

If you're ever heading north to Oregon from points south (i.e. L.A.
area), forget Interstate 5 unless you like almost 500 miles of b-o-r-i-

What's the best way to clean out the internal city water line in a

indicating they are killing all Usenet as of June 23, 2008.

I'm considering trading in the 2006 F350 PSD 6 liter for an 08 model pickup
with a gas engine.  I pull a 29 foot 5th wheel toy hauler.  No slides, but
it is I Beam construction which adds some weight.  Packed and wet, the
trailer comes in around 13k.

Possibly somebody can help me with this problem, I have the HWH 610 Series
Leveling system, yesterday the left front jack would not retract called

The following was received by my niece in Queen's Creek, AZ, and passed
on to me. She works for the city there. There really is a Chief Deputy
