I just received my order of auto deflators for the truck no more sitting around, waiting for the tires to deflate down to 18-20 lbs. Put these on and go. Thanks Karyn and Suzy for the website

MD...two different places. Dan Gamel does have an indoor showroom, supply place.

As you all can see, I'm back home.

Got a few kills...and received a few. Overall it was an awesome trip.

Had a few...hmmm...not sure of the term...but clusterfsck sounds appropriate Friday morning. We left about 1-1.5 hrs late. Then took WAY too long up in Santa Clara and ended up leaving there at 4pm...on a Friday. At least it was Veteran's weekend. Hopefully the traffic was lighter. But it was still insane. I got some props to Karyn, Suzy, et al for pulling a trailer down through that mess. Was an accident around Trully, or something like that. South of the 280. Was bumper to bumper through that area, but wasn't too bad.

And it was the first road trip with the XM. It was nice to know what was going on when I saw brake lights, turned on the SF traffic station an in about 3 minutes knew what was going on. Reception was perfect except around the 101-280 interchange where it hiccuped. The comedy channel saved me coming home from Los Banos to Fresno. Bro was out cold and I wasn't far behind...

I've had a few clusterfsk's too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Took the youth group to a gathering in Concord and pulled a 14' trailer behind me. I too, couldn't believe all the traffic that was on the road Friday afternoon around 6pm[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] And they were all rude as can be[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Missed a turn off because no one would let me slide over[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] without causing an accident [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Now, a drive between Los Banos and Fresno, that sounds exciting[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] NOT

A little slow in here lately[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Everyone must be busy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I know I will be, have a paper due next week[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] and need to get it done before I leave for Pismo Saturday.

Started getting things together for that trip. Took apart the Raptor 80's carb and cleaned it out, it was stalling on hills[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] had some gum in the float bowl[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Hopefully, that will take care of it. Also, need to clean the foam filter, guess I need to due a search on what works best[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I've only had paper or k&n filters[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And I don't think gasoline is the right choice[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Gas actually works really well... LOL. (Use for starting bon fires.) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Or I used Simple Green with good results. With my UNI I've started using No Toil. Has it's own cleaner which seems much like Oxy Clean....

Gas is the ultimate starting fluid[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] As a matter of fact, my garage smells like gas pretty bad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

On the No Toil cleaner, is it liquid or white powder? Because I do have Oxy Clean[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
