Another Monday, Another Problem . . .
I’ve been running through my head what to check next on my AC problem. But my first question is why the control box shorted out when it did. All I had done was take the inside cover off of the unit, and I was just looking up at the box when it Snap-Crackle-Popped right in front of me.
I knew that this was the first time it had happened since once it burned through, it wasn’t doing it again.
Jan and I have been planning our upcoming trip in June. All of the Texas family are meeting up in Vandalia, IL with Jan’s sister, Debbie and all her bunch. And it takes a lot more planning going by Jeep rather than in our RV.
First off, fuel. With the 150 gallons of diesel in the rig, we could go about 1200 miles. So this 950 mile trip wouldn’t have involved any fuel stops.
But with the Jeep, the 18 gallon tank gets us about 250 miles, so that’s a data point.
And then there’s potty breaks. With the rig, our potty traveled with us, so all we needed was a wide shoulder on the side of the road. Of course fuel stops are also potty breaks, but they don’t always match up.
We plan to spend the night in Jackson, MS going up to Illinois, where, coincidentally a Sonny’s BBQ is located about two miles from Red Roof Inn where we plan to stay.
Then coming home we’ll loop back down through Alabama to catch up with family and friends before finally making our way back to Santa Fe.
Really looking forward to the trip.
Recently the long-awaited trailer for the long-delayed new Top Gun movie with Tom Cruise reprising his role as Maverick.
And what could be better than this trailer?
How about the same trailer, done in Legos?
And even better, how about a comparison of the two trailers.
Really neat, but do you ever get the feeling that some people have too much time on their hands?
And here’s a really amazing video of an artist who paints 3D illusions, on trees. Almost unbelievable.
