Yeah, it's almost jacket weather in the morning at 5100 feet until late June, usually.

The Moorvair got some work in!

I've been feeling slight chest pains today that mimic an anxiety attack, and been wondering why. I just remembered that when I take Mucinex for a couple days, that happens. I certainly hope I can stop taking it soon!!

When I pulled the MH out of storage the other day you would have all died laughing at the other guys trying to get their's out. The ground was very soft. Some of the rigs were sunk to the axles. Mine was only 11 inches deep in the rear and 9 ish on the front. Still too deep to drive out of without assistance.

Anyways, an older couple (even older than me, lol) couldn't get their 31" out. He decided to hook up his 2019 Dodge and pull it out. That thing just spun its wheels. COuldn't grip the ground at all. All this time I've got Red hooked to mine and my son driving him. I'm the motorhome. Red never spun the wheels at all. Just pulled mine out easily. I went down to ask them if they wanted help. They said sure. Then the realy comedy started. Their Dodge wouldn't move in reverse. 4800 miles. No reverse.
After much playing with the shift control know and the rear emergency brake he called the dealer.

DId you know that you cant put a Dodge in reverse without a seat belt being on? Won't let you back up without a seat belt attached. Comedy of errors right there

After we got that truck figured out, I pulled Red up and hooked on it. Again. Never broke traction. Pulled that big boy right out. I really think it was that he had the Ram in 4Lo. Red was just in 4H and not a problem.

Whitey...here is why I use for a clear coat. True auto finish clean. Not Duplicolor or Rustoleum or Krylon. This stuff is almost indestructible. I buy mine at the local Axalta (Dupont) dealer. The button on the bottom mixed the hardener etc

I've been wondering why I don't have one either. Maybe I need to make more posts? LOL

That's the exact same stuff I used on the 3 of the wheels.... well, I did 4 to start with, but the crack. That stuff is only good for about 36 hours after you push in the bottom.

You too Brew.... spent all day pissing around Frankie. Getting wheel studs in a virgin hole is a royal bitc4. I've got to figure out something to get the rest in there with what I've got.

I made a mistake, and I'm not happy about it. Lets go back three years. I bought the Cobra R wheels, and immediately stashed them away. In 2018, I ordered tires for them. I really like the way the 225/50-16's fit in The Eight Nine, so I got out the tire calculator and calculated a 225/45-17 was dang near identical. Win, right?



Nope.... I thought both pony wheels, and the Cobra R's were 8 inches in width. Turns out.... the pony wheels are 7's and the Cobra R's are 9's. What I don't get though is, the width on the calculator has the, at 8.9" wide, so it should be so noticeable, eh? Well... this happened and I'm not so happy.

I guess I've seen worse... but I hate the way the sidewall is.



The math on the width doesn't line up either. These are under 8 inches wide.
