So, as I was packing up on my first trip, I was doing a lot of back and forth, loading stuff in the RV. For 2 days, I didn't wear any makeup at all. When I got going and realized I needed to stop at the local hardware store for a chunk of chain, like 6 feet or so. This was purchased to lock the generator to the truck or RV. When I walked into the store without makeup on, everyone kept coming up to me and asking, "Are you OK? Are you sick again? Cancer coming back?" Nope, just was super busy and didn't make up for the days of packing. Then, to find out during the trip, I left both eye shadow palettes at home. After returning home, I was so tired I spent one more day without makeup. Then yesterday, May 14, I was in full Teal makeup and hair. Wearing my ripsaw collar again. Life was back to normal again. Sadly, I didn't take any photos. Yeah, I know, no photo, no proof, right?

We are still camped out in the RV in our front yard. I made a call to DAP for the VP44 injection pump. I've got an injection pump coming on Monday. Perk bonus DAP also found a compressor wheel for my HX35/40 turbo so I can finally rebuild that turbo and use it again. We are thinking of relocating home for a time up to Lost Valley Reservoir. Might have to go fishing for the weekend. I really don't like looking at the shop's direction. Relocation of the RV will be handled by Thor. I've gotta be nice to Thor, because he does have a bad cylinder and the blow-by is present.

I have never heard of this. Could you at least show a photo of what you are talking about, please? Currently, I have aluminum hydraulics on Beast, which are AutoZone lifetime warranty hydraulics. All are made from aluminum and hold up much longer.

ABORT MISSION -REPEAT- ABORT MISSION. We left home here at about 3pm on May 11 2026. We made it down to Emmett ID but the public RV park was closed. We left Emmett and made it to few miles outside of Eagle ID and this Chevron station had a large dirt lot. Perfect! Loaded up with fuel (We aren't going to talk about prices! 🤬) walk inside and asked and gal was like sure. No problem. Got a fairly level spot and shut the truck down and all 3 of us (Mollie the cat) headed for the RV. Next morning. We got ready and head for @Tweety Bird doctor appointment and sure enough they called and reschedule till 1pm. OK lets get food for the RV. Didn't even make it to WinCo and Beast fell on his face full 3 seconds like the key got turned off and back on. Quadzilla was still seeing data. No check engine light. We opted to go back hitch up and abort the trip. Once out of the city area I pulled over got my OBDLink MX code reader. Sure enough there was a P1689 code. Still no check engine light. Clear the codes to make sure it doesn't go into limp mode. Ran for home drove with a light foot and power level still on 2. Just a little bit more than 1/4 tank of fuel ran an average speed of 55MPH home still 141 mile run. Not shabby! Just weird. Im going to hunt the forum for my last pump see how far it went. @Tweety Bird and I are home safe. Beast unhooked from the trailer and we are just camping in the front yard. Too tired to pack stuff out today. Ugh!

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.

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.

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.

@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.

@dieselautopower Possibly might have an idea too.

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.

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.

Might be time to give Quadzilla a call...

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.

@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.
