Not many RV’s on the road, the Lazy Days KOA in Tucson was about 1/3 full.
The park lost power on Saturday for about 2 hours in the middle of the day when the temps were in the low 90’s. Got hot inside real quick. Lesson learned, when RV,ing in the summer ALWAYS bring the generator along, just in case!

That is really a good reminder. I'm definitely bringing my generators with me when we travel to Florida this summer.
We had a similar power outage at a campground in NY a couple summers ago, but it was cool at night and no issues keeping the trailer cool. We have done a lot of boondocking over the years. So, I'm used to running on generators. But, they do me no good sitting at home when have an unexpected need.

Finally got around to installing my Brandmotion third brake like cargo camera and harness. It attaches behind and below the brake light. I used one of my Ford 'upfitter' switches to swap views between tailgate and bed cameras. I did have to call Brandmotion as the harness comes with it's own switch, and requires a bit of a change and cutting the switch off to use the truck's own switches. Works like a champ now, though!!

Ouch, We live in S Ca. and yea that will get you to the state line. I retired from Phillips Petro and no one can explain to me why Diesel is so blasted high it's the bottom of the barrel process . The big Truck Stops are worse.

One word "Demand", and then four words, "On time inventory management". Algorithms now keep up with inventory and the warehouses are rolling on the interstates 24/7. I remember in the 60's when diesel was 11˘ a gallon, less than half the price of gas, and that was because demand for diesel was low.

Treated it to an oil and filter change, caliper service, and state inspection. Ready to go out next month for the first time.

Topped up gas from our trip this week. Where I live 2.09/l which equals $7.91 gal (regular).
Didn't even consider premium.

Last night I got the new TV back from the dealer for some warranty work (high pressure fuel pump, and wiper system). Measured up and just ordered a 12" drop shank for the the equalizer hitch. I am sure the 3500 does not need a WDH for the 23B, but I like the idea of sway control.

Found some diesel in Santee, SC just off I-95 for $5.199. Best price around.
When home I spent 30 minutes finding a dealer that would change my oil/filter and rotate tires within the next 3 weeks! They did ask if I wanted DEF topped off.

What did I do to my tv today? I put the battery charger on it. With gas at $6.09 a gallon (regular unleaded) I don’t drive it enough to keep the battery charged.
