Shrimp, Shrimp, and, of course, Shrimp . . .
After a quiet morning, me doing web site stuff and Jan reading, I went out about 2pm to add air to the rig’s tires.
I used my Sears 150 psi Air Compressor to quickly air up all my tires, the front ones to 105# and the rear duals to 100#. All of the tires were in the 90# range when I started, not because they had leaked down in the last 5 months, but because when I last topped them off the temperature was in the high 90’s, while today it was in the low 70’s.
I’ve had this compressor since January 2011 and it’s never had a problem. It can air up the big RV tires to 120# plus without breathing hard. The one I have came from Sears but they no longer sell it. (Do they still sell anything?) But you can get the same one under the Porter-Cable brand from Amazon, probably who made it for Sears.

I did add this Power Tank TIG-8170 Digital Inflator with a locking chuck to make it easier to air up the tires without bending over the entire time. Just lock the chuck on the tire valve and go to it.
The only other thing I’ve done to it in the last 7 years was to replace the compressor’s air hose with a longer one.
I also planned to add water to the rig’s house batteries, but discovered that I was out of distilled water. So it got put on the WalMart list for tonight.
About 4:15 Jan and I headed up to Webster to meet up with Chris, Linda, and Miss Piper at the East Star Chinese Buffet for dinner.
We’ve never eaten here, but a number of our friends have recommended it, and it turns out Chris and Linda have eaten here too.
How did we get left out?
I ended up getting the shrimp, the shrimp, and, of course, the shrimp. And some veggies too.
Cold Boiled Shrimp, Hot Pepper Shrimp, and Shrimp with Veggies.
The Trifecta.
Everything was really good, although Jan didn’t like the Hot & Sour Soup as much as I did.
But we’ll go back.
Coming home we made a WalMart stop for a few things before getting home about 8.
Tomorrow, more work, and probably more machine repairs.
Thought for the Day:
Exercise. Eat Right. Die Anyway. What’s the point?
