It was a good day - NOT!

Had a low tire on the camper. Used my compressor and tried to fill. The valve stem blew out! Checking the spare tire and took off the cover. Wasp nest and stung once. Found out bees made a nest in the wall where the frig cover is outside. Found two more wasp nests in the furnace vent and water heater vent. So, $420 spent today on 4 new camper tires, and 4 cans of wasp killer. The redeeming part is I have 4 cans of 24oz Labatt's in the frig, so I guess you'll never know what I'm having for dinner tonight? Did I mention it's HOT outside too! ha!

That's being prepared! This was definitely a day that needed more than 12 oz. cans. Good work.

After you kick that cold one down I'd get your RV into a tire shop and REPLACE all those rubber valve stems with stainless steel valve stems before heading out with it! :C

Been there done that. Day after I bought my first used MH I had one blowout on the road and 2 more flats the next day while driving in Houston with 112 degree temps. Long running time and high heat just melted those **** rubber valve stems. Tow truck driver was the one that pointed out the rubber valve stems where melting. Pulled into the first tire shop and had them all replaced with stainless steel ones.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Look at it this way. No blow out on the road.

Ya the "adult sodas" help.

Might need some Crown Royal to go with that, and chase it with the Labatts. What a day!
