RE: Saints game in Atlanta
GOOD LORD NO!!! Don't do it!
But on second thought... If you can survive NO then you can probably handle the Atlanta criminals.

RE: Motor home jacks
We have hydraulic jacks on the 08 Damon Essence. When extended and leveled, we have a popping noise that seems to be the front settling (sp?) a bit. It apparently is from one of the front jacks and is pretty loud. I thought for a while it was the jacks sitting on gravel and that was giving way and causing this. Then we set up on a concrete pad - same thing.
It seems to have become less frequent.
I have no idea what the cause is.

RE: Impossible to find please help
How could the tank collapse if the toilet is vented from the roof? This must be sorta like the tale of the thief that tried to siphon gas and got into the black tank - interesting thought but very unlikely.

Don't mess with a 'good ole boy'
Friend of mine, Ole Bob, is a deer hunter and has just leased some new property for this season. Now he is not a spring chicken and has been around deer camps for years. There is a brand new rookie game warden in the area and he was very anxious to make a name for himself and write some citations. On this particular morning Bob was hunting deep in the woods near a swamp, some half to three quarter mile from the road where his truck was parked.
He saw the biggest buck he has ever seen and immediately dropped him where he stood. As luck would have it, the new warden was driving down the road and heard the shot. He saw Bob's truck and figured he would check his license and make sure he was legal. Well the newbie warden wanders in the woods until he finds Bob, just finished field dressing the monster buck. Mr Warden marches up to Bob and announces, "I am Warden Elwood Newbie. I am an agent of the State of Georgia Fish and Wildlife Division and I am a Peace Officer. I can arrest you for any violation of the State Game and Fish laws and am here to check your license and safety equipment."
"Well go ahead", says Bob. "Here is the lease agreement for the property we are on. I have the proper amount of hunter orange and I believe I comply with all the regulations"
Well Warden Newbie carefully measures the number of square inches of the orange vest and cap, looks carefully at the lease agreement and says, "this is in order, but I need to see your license". Now Bob was not impressed by Mr Newbie, who was trying his best to find a violation to write Bob up for.
Well ole Bob starts searching and checking his pockets and wallet looking for the license and deer tags. "I got them, I promise you, but...". "I am not having any excuses like that, I want to SEE them" said the warden. "I got them someplace I promise you", said Bob.
"I am going to confiscate that deer as evidence and take your rifle. You will come with me." said Warden Newbie
"I guess I have to do what you say", said Bob, "but I got that license here someplace. I won't give you no problems and I'll go peacefully."
With that Warden Newbie shouldered Bob's rifle and grabbed the big buck by the horns and started dragging him towards the road and parked trucks. Bob followed behind with his head hung low, saying he was sure he had a license. Some two hours later Warden Newbie struggled into the clearing where the trucks were parked, still dragging the monster buck and carrying the rifle - his uniform ripped from the briars and thorn bushes. He was muddy and gasping for air when he finally took the rifle from his shoulder after dropping the buck. Ole Bob walked in behind him. Still fresh from the stroll in the woods and carrying nothing.
"Warden Newbie", said Bob, "I know I have a license and I am going to look one more time." With that Bob reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out his license and deer tags. "Here it is".
It is not nice to mess with a Good Ole Boy.

RE: Retired, may I ask your opinion
I had an assistant chief that was giving me fits. I was on my way to a heart attack, trying to do my job and part of his. One of those, "when you get through with that, this is what I need you to do", situations. This was a daily thing and I never got caught up. Anyway, I saw the writing on my tombstone and decided to get out at 55. You would not believe how easy it is to be retired. We travel about 3-4 months per year and basically do what we want to.
If you have no health issues and enjoy what you are doing, then by all means continue to work. However if you are stressing then take the short road out the door. It does not take a lot of money to be retired, even if you don't do any P/T stuff to get out of the house. (I deliver automobiles for a couple of the local dealerships)
Unless you have a huge demand for a rich lifestyle, your finances will be great.
Enjoy while you still can get around and do a lot of physical things.
see you on the road

RE: Home Remedies -- Please post yours!
My papa (grand dad - born in the late 1800's) used a half pint of white liquor and a few sticks of peppermint candy dissolved in it (until it was a syrup texture) as a cough syrup. I can recall when I was a little kid trying very hard not to cough because that was a nasty taste. It worked however.

RE: Blue Ox Aventa tow bar
We have the Aventa II as well. Have towed with it for multiple thousands of miles and have had little or no problem. Would like to have the LX, but cannot figure why I should get rid of a great bar just to get a later model of basically the same thing.

RE: Transmission problems from towing Honda's?
I think trop-a-cal's answer might be the reason for some failures. You have to get the steps as well as the procedure in the right order. You do not run it in drive for three minutes then shift to neutral and turn it off. Disaster ahead!
You run through the Honda gears, then shift from drive to neutral and THEN let the engine run for three minutes (at least) Then simply turn the switch off. This lets the transmission fluid circulate and warm up. It takes about 6 hours for the fluid to drain back down. At about 3 hours of towing, we do the procedure again. We have towed all around the nation and have never had a problem with the transmission on our 03 Element

RE: Camping a 43' RV in National Parks
Trailer Village at Grand Canyon will allow big rigs. Sites are pull through and we have had plenty of room for big rigs.
Glacier has small sites - might be tough for a rig your size
Yellowstone > have only stayed at Fishing Bridge. There is space for big rigs, but getting them parked w/o scratching the rig is something of a challenge

With the tremendous price jump of ammunition it will take a very short time to run up a huge ticket when you flip the switch on something like a Mac 10 or such.
