We went over to Pleasanton to the RV show. We shared a breakfast at our usual stop, the Rising Loafer in the village (428 Main St) nearby. An Italian sausage, green pepper and Swiss omelet along with a nice blueberry muffin.
We entered the show about 11:15. It’s a big mostly indoor show. Motorhomes , 5th […]

Saturday:

I spent most of the morning tweaking websites.
I didn’t get really moving until mid afternoon.
Our RV has a loose wall panel in the bedroom. It’s been working loose from the top. Turns out there were several reasons for the failure. The panel was only stapled, not glued to the framing. It’s an interior wall at […]

Got the new RV tires at Costco in Gilroy. There are closer Costco’s but none of them would install the tires on an RV. Camping World couldn’t even get the tires in the near future.

Time to get the tires replaced on the RV. They’re still round, but time has passed and even quite a bit of extra time. While they look good, 7.5 years for a tire is like 105 in human years. The south bay area isn’t a great place to find good RV tire sources. Looks like […]

I completed some more caulking. Only the right side roof line remains but it looks OK so should wait until another time soon.
Lou used the RV as a quit space to do the taxes last week. Funny how easily little messes add up. We finally completed cleanup and reorganization inside.
A couple of days ago the […]

I tried out the new NetZero phone service. I’ve been using Vonage in the RV and at home but sometimes it doesn’t work too well in the RV due to the satellite uplink bandwidth. Has worked best at night, sometimes not too well during the day. NetZero has a satellite setting that seemed to work […]

I finally installed the Link 10 Meter. I got it last winter shortly after being in Quartzsite. After I installed the solar panels which I got at the same time, I didn’t get around to installing the Link 10 battery monitor meter as I should have. It’s great. Now I can see what’s going […]

One more day here in the LTVA, then I guess I’ll move East of town and maybe drop by the Escapee Boomers Birds Of A Feather group campsite. Then?

Today I went by the hardware store to get some small wood screws to finish installing the new LED light fixture in the bathroom. I installed it […]

Thursday: Since we were in Blythe, Ca to see the vet, Lou and Dawn departed from there to head home. I did some shopping at the hardware store. I want to rig up a better mount for the solar so that all panels can have the best exposure to the sun, what there is of […]

Another day at the markets. We started at the Main Event, the vendors in Northwest Quartzsite. This is the better market. Right now there are an awful lot of rock vendors at all the other markets. The RV Show begins the 21st, next Saturday.
Lou and Dawn thoroughly examined the market while I casually looked and […]
