Thanks, yeah I’ve wanted a Highboy for as long as I can remember. Wife was not thrilled when she learned they did not have airbags and I plan to daily drive it once it’s cleaned up

2100 you don't need air bags in that. You just run over the obstacle. No Problem.

Thats what I said! I told her what am I worried about? This thing is solid steel to the bone; I feel sorry for anyone who has the misfortune of running into me lol

Look at the weather over Michigan right now. Staying in the camper this weekend, getting pummeled. 60 MPH winds and some hard rain.

Crap Tornado warning, I'm getting out of here lol.

It's gone, whipped thru in and out quickly, -one touch down about 2 miles east of here.

Of course, -this is no comparison of what's been going on in the south...glad I pulled the awnings in though....they seen to be pretty tough, didn't want to test. Roof doesn't leak.

Lost power as I was typing this, surprisingly it didn't delete this half typed post once the power came back on...huh!

It was , took cover in a garage. The garage is half underground here. The forecast was for 60 mph winds but only seen 45 mph. Cold front, it went from 83* to 65* real quick lol.

Yowza.... I'm glad you made it without having issue Brew. Weather is scary!

So yesterday I went to the wrecking yard. Couldn't find one of those unicorns.... I mean ballast resistors. So I went over to NAPA and asked if I could go through the book and find a 1.3 ohm ballast resistor. Found that Mopar used a double ballast on some of their vehicles with a 1.28 ohms on one side, and 5.X on the other. So, I bought one of them for 8 dollars and put it in. I measured it with a meter in the store, and measured 1.3 ohms on it anyway.... so I'm happy, lol. Thanks for the help my friends....

Is that a little Klien Meter White, how do you like it ? Have you used all it's functions. Seems like I never get to use them all.

On my second can of Pringles since last night, think I like them, this ones Buffalo Ranch flavor. Kind of liked the Cheddar Sour Cream a little better. I can stash a lot of food in this camper...currently whatever I want lol. Sure does get messy in here though. Guess I should clean it before I leave lol. Pretty cool weekend though!
