Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I always put the level on the floor of the coach. I don’t trust that a countertop is level . Just something I’ve alway done

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I'm no expert but that's where the sink is, drains and all
carpet, linoleum, underlayment, etc. aren't as consistently flat as formica, corian, etc. in a house anyway, wouldn't expect flooring to be any flatter in a 20yo motorhome either way, as long as I don't spill my beer or fall out of bed I don't really care ********* yesterday the good Lord was smiling on us though! along about nowhere kansas we lost the left inner inner dual limped onto the shoulder, and an exit was just 2 miles down grainfield kansas now of course I have a spare, tools, etc. but if I can hire a little help - why not? first place we spot is a gas station with a service garage, walked inside, didn't have the time of day for us spotted a small truck shop across the street and they were happy to help so I asked how far to a town that might have a pair of tires (always best to replace both duals after running one flat) "oh, just down there by the grain elevators, grey building on the left at the stop sign" really? ok, so off we go, limped it over to Jack's Automotive Repair and Towing (Napa store too) nicest folks you could ever meet, three generation business, had a new pair of good tires, and willing get on right away went to their local market for a few grocery items while we waited - nice little town! when he was finished, he even asked me to spin around town and stop back for re-torque! definitely recommend! ![]() and later, about 30 minutes from the farm on i70, near missed an accident right in front of us thankfully just squeezed by, mostly on the shoulder but kept control and got back up on the road Mrs. Bee was concerned so she ran back to help with a first aid kit driver wandered off but passenger's foot went through the windshield Mrs. Bee wrapped her up and got her out of the car, it was smoking and really hammered FD showed up, took the injured gal into an ambulance, shut down the freeway, and we split thank goodness we were passed it! two events could have been really bad, we just climbed the rocky mountains and the tire blows on ruler flat kansas then those two new duals went off pavement when I narrowly missed the accident and kept the shiny side up!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
More interesting than left CA, drove RV to MO. I always look for that silver lining and it's always there somewhere. Doing that enriches or lives. You got to experience rural Kansas (people) while others blasted on by bored by the interstate.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
some of our forest service roads are not suitable for cars...this guy found out the hard way this was not one of them....
looks like he took a run at a 40 degree hill but didn't see the cross ditch at the bottom |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
this car is like the energizer bunny of throwing oil...it just keeps going and going.....
you would think the oil light or check engine would have come on by now... he gave it a good run wit no oil, prob made it down the road 'bout 1/2 a mile contact point. prob bounced the oil pan into this rock going thru the cross ditch too fast... actually surprised he made it thru this 2 ft deep cross ditch earlier without hanging up......... |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Out there in Driesville you need to build your shade. A simple carport. All the nice rust free 67-72s I've bought out of the arid S/W have had the woodgrain trim on one side burned off and the other side looked great. I figure parked under a carport with faded side facing west or south. Sun all day or late day heat and lower sun angle

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
The coran may be flat but in my motorhome when its level the countertop is pitched towards the wall to keep any spills from going to the front and running g down the cabinets. It has the automatic hydrolic leveling Jack's but I always check it with the bubble level but it's not all the critical. It's like horse shoes and handgranades close is good enough

The woodgrain on my CST is chicken fried and my trailer turned pink. I need some concrete and cover.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
let the dawgs out this morn, heard a rustle in my garbage can.
a rat was digging around in it. Rumble ran right over to it and the rat jumped out of the can and Rumbledawg deftly and beautifully snagged it in mid air...heck of a good catch on his part. went to get a bag to dispose of it and the crows ticked off Rumble by swooping in and grabbing his kill....at least i didn't have to dispose of it... ![]() |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Nature was at work in your yard.
You have the best GMT400 real life photos I've seen. Backgrounds not too shabby either! The sky opened up for you a bit. Looks beautiful

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
thanks Tim, but it's all more luck than skill on my part.
![]() my cam is an old 2005 canon powershot sx. the one thing about it that screws me up is there is a second or 2 delay when ya hit the shutter button so you hafta kinda pre-judge your shot and hit the button earlier.....which can lead to some "interesting" photos... after cajoling Roxie for 10 mins to "stay", "don't move" "hold it", finally got her looking all pretty and proud in front of the truck, hit the button, again the delay thing, and Rumbledawg came running over and photo-bombed my pic.... |
