Mopar1973Man's Travel Log 2026
Fixed it for you. First leg down. We ran down hwy 55 figured on Emmett ID but that failed when we got there we found the RV park closed. I head down towards Eagle ID but found a Chevron with a dirt lot besides the store.I did the polite thing walked in and asked if I could park here. Gal said, "No problem.". Wife and I are going to dry camp as much as possible. Scaled the truck bit heavy 8,880 pounds, trailer getting close 8,360 pounds. Total weight 17,240 pounds. Running my custom tow tune. Level 2. Plenty of pulling power and roughly 12 MPG with the weight.

We are out of here for a time.
Consider this a learning experience now to get the RV packed and to spend up to 2 weeks away. We will see how this all works out very soon. Post more later on.

Quadzilla Adrenaline with iquad installed!
Might try to get the name right... Mopar1973Man, there are no imitations. I'll post up some info on my trip south. We (wife and I) are going to get rolling in a bit today, heading south. Taking a bit to get everything packed for an extended stay in the RV.

We are out of here for a time.
@Tweety Bird has some shoulder issues we need to deal with. She has a few medical appointments to handle down in the Treasure Valley Idaho. Don't fret, we have packed up the RV today and are nearly ready to start a travel trip down south. This is like a practice run because eventually we want to travel cross-country to see some of the members of this website. I know I have a spot with @Doubletrouble. I know I need to rattle some other members in the future. We are going to do as much as we can as a stand-alone RV, no RV parks, etc. Yesterday and today have been very busy, loading personal stuff in the RV and getting everything tucked away. As for Titanium, I've taken most of the wigs out of the house and loaded nearly all my makeup supplies with me. This is not just a few-day trip; it's going to be a long 2 to 3-week trip. Instead of driving back and forth, I'm going to rough it in the RV and do the best we can on our own. This will give us a break from the house and the mess here. Then handle the medical appointments. In the same token, get the RV ready for travel more so. More to come as Titanium Travels the state of Idaho down south. There is even discussion of "fishing" yup the fishing poles are packed.

24V 2nd Gen Axles - Hydrobooster - Purchasing a replacement hydrobooster the right way!
Yeah new switch isn't expensive. For me its a 2 to 3 hour loss to drive 100 miles to just purchase a 22 dollar brake switch cost half a day and fuel. Hence the knowledge to self reset these switches. Im glad it worked out for you anyways.

Using Google Gemini AI on Ubuntu 24.04
I opted for installing a AI app of Google Gemini AI on my workstation. This is done typing the below command into your terminal sudo snap install gemini-desktopNow I've been using Google Gemini AI quite a bit to solve server errors on my personal server here at home. Now, if you start a conversation using AI, make sure to explain what is going on. Example. "My home server website is throwing a 500 code. My server is Ubuntu 24.04" Now read over the response. You might catch errors in answers. Like in my case, I was asking about a software issue in Invision Community. I gave the version 4 answer. I had to tell AI, "Wrong. I'm using Invison community 5" Now AI corrects and shows proper information. In this case, the location of a control switch is relocated in version 5. Give it a try and start with a simple task. As I did above, I asked: "How do I install the Google Gemini app on Ubuntu 24.04?" The above answer was given, quick and to the point.

Website Issue - Uploading photos
I've been testing and doing photo work here on the website to see if the server still chokes, but so far, it's doing better.

Black & White
@Tweety Bird asked me what color today. She paused a bit, then said do something with a color you have not used in a while. Black and white hasn't been used in a long while. She asked me to do something to reverse the colors on the wig. Well, I came up with a wild idea using liquid makeup. It's a wild idea and just doing the crazy thoughts.

Titanium
My adventure of having a second run at bladder cancer and going back and forth to chemo treatments and surgeries. "Titanium" the character, kept me going and helped me with depression and stress of the idea I might not make it. I've made several new friends and found a new way to enjoy life as I continue to dress up and do my Titanium makeup. I'm always taking my adventure out into the public and share my artwork with everyone!

Quadzilla Adrenaline - iQuad not powering on?
This is the battery hot pin (Red wire). Typically you need the bluetooth(Android) or WiFi (iPhone) then you should see it fire up. The red-white wire should be keyed hot. Red Wire location Red / white location keyed hot.

24V 2nd Gen Axles - Hydrobooster - Purchasing a replacement hydrobooster the right way!
Yeah, ATF is not compatible with the seals in the system. 2002 back to 1988 is all power steering fluid. 2003 forward is all ATF+4. I took those apart, and I can tell you you can pull the plunger out carefully, just a few clicks, and try the switch again. It's like a one-time ratchet system, but if you pull carefully straight out, you will pull the plunger out just enough to get the brake pedal to turn off the lights.

RED - To constant battery power - I typically hook that wire to the stud in the PDC with the red wire from the battery. RED/WHITE - To keyed Hot typically in the fuse panel #12 (IIRC). This is the trigger on to fire up the Quadzilla. Now the Quadzilla has the ooldown timer, which makes a connection between the red and red/white to keep the truck running. When the cooldown is reached, the connection is dropped.
