Re: Long shot, anyone used WA state as home base?
While now a resident of WA, when we fulltimed we were residents of Nevada. Used a UPS store and they would forward our mail wherever, whenever, however (UPS, US mail) when we sent them an e-mail requesting it. They would also toss all ads/circulars. Worked very well for us for 4+ years including for DMV, insurance, etc. At the time -- don't know about current rules -- we were allowed to us an address that listed the box number without stating that it was a box, so most people just assumed it was an apartment or condo #.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Scientists discover dogs' preferred bathroom position
Well, one of ours doesn't care and the other doesn't care about direction but will only do her business after she turns counter-clockwise at least twice...no exceptions and we have no idea why...maybe we can get a grant to study this behavior as it must have some benefit worth the research.297Views0likes0CommentsRe: Steering/Ride Quality of Big Three HD trucks
I've got an '11 DMax (2500HD; 3/4 ton) pulling my airstream @ 11,000 lb on a regular basis. Steering is fine with regard to the problem your having regarding excessive movement. Very happy with everything on the truck and the engine braking/hill holder/towing brake/etc have been great. Taken it from Seattle to San Diego a couple of times and never downshifted...left it in cruise (tow mode) whenever possible.89Views0likes0CommentsRivet missing - Light Fixture
I noticed that one of my overhead fluorescent fixtures was dim, so thinking that a bulb had burned out I pulled the plastic cover and a bulb -- as well as some plastic bits -- fell out :h Short story is that there are 4 rivets that attach the fixture sides to the base and one was missing. Also, the fixture was secured to the ceiling with only 3 rather than 4 possible screws. The combination allowed one tube to vibrate enough that the plastic socket covers for the tubes eventually failed. I ended up replacing it entirely with LED's. The long version of this is on my blog if you're interested.643Views0likes1Comment
