They fixed the problem with trying to type I and getting A2 with a square and question mark. That was an ios11 issue that would happen on the phone end of things. The problem with the apostrophes is the encoding Apple uses vs what garagetalk uses. I type it out fine and even when I post and read it’s fine... wait so now that I think about it I have no clue where the problem lies. Cz if it was solely garage talk I would then see the issue once I posted. Maybe it is the Between Apple and android. I am assuming android uses a different encoding language and thus the issue. Did android have a major update recently? You all reported that problem back when I was still on iOS10 and had not updated anything in a while.

Edit* or maybe still it’s garagetalk and the way its encoding talks to both Operating systems

Well a friend took some pictures of Juneau's area today, so I thought I would post these two. I thought he did a nice job. Thanks Viliame K.

Adrian I was thinking that as well. Number 2 is by far my favorite. I took that one and deepened the colors. Glad you like them.

Good Sunday morning fellers!- ive been spending the weekend at my f-i-l's in western Pa.- its his birthday-85-(old fart)- good to get away from the salt mine for a couple of days.
Yes- AK, thanks for asking, i still get a touch of aches in my new knee- but the dr. said that would happen- the arthritis that was in the joint is gone with the old joint,but the synovitis and the tendonitis that is in the tendon tissues is still there- but its not nearly as bad as before!

Successful stay in travel trailer this weekend, it's pretty impressive.. impressed me anyway. The tanks are huge on this thing, 52 gal of fresh water, 40 gal and 71 gal waste water tanks...heated tanks/heated basement with an electric backup when the furnace isn't being used . Most everything runs on battery through an inverter. The only devices that draw AC through shore power is the fireplace and in the summer, both air conditioning units on top. Of course the inverter keeps the battery up, that draws up to 7 amps when running.

I didn't get the windows done as planned, too many interuptions making mama happy, but figured out how I'm going to insulate them. 3M thinsulate directly on the glass, -it's like adding dual pane windows but better. While the suns shinning they will now heat the trailer. At night we'll use a reflectix double bubble heat reflector/insulator. All this will be out of site and should work very well. The return, -the windows will achieve more R-value than the walls at night and again heat while the suns out. We have 4 sky lights I'll be using that 3M stuff on as well.

That should make it comfy/functional enough for a get away in the winter and won't hurt the looks any.

As soon as I get to know this thing inside and out, I can get back to finding a truck that will pull it...that's just a damn delema since I can't see purchasing a new one. It would suck too much from the pocket for sure. Buying used is difficult.

Soooooo.... I did the plugs in the old truck this weekend. Found that my misfire was caused by water getting into the cylinder 6 plug hole. Pretty sure I have a leaky cowl. It was actual water, not coolant. It had rained off and on for a few days before I drove it.

So, since I was in there, I decided to go ahead and do the whole deal. On cylinder 4, it took me 1.5 hours alone because this is how my spark plug boot came out:



Then cylinder 3.... I got this little pebble in there somehow. This pic was taken AFTER the pebble had become dislodged from between the cylinder wall and the spark plug. Didn't realize it was in there until I got my borescope out. That was a whole ball of fun, lol. Finally had to tape a straw into my my ShopVac and suck it out.
