    camper was awesome. i settled right in and it was cozy. since it was so stormy/windy i was glad to be able to cook / eat inside for a change!

    why didnt you get it last time you were there if you didnt want to make another trip?

    got a call from the company they hire for their customer satisfaction surveys. no return call from the dealer. not surprised really

    Morning all

    Going from business to business has us worried, but the higher ups are sitting at home counting money and telling is how concerned they are for our safety.


    Done that. Both kidney stones and forgot vacations.
    I have 6 years to go if the economy has recovered. My wife thinks I can start a new career making more money. She is always chasing the money over happiness thing, it bothers me.

    Dad gave up his career for a higher paying job, hated it.

    Told me and my brother, "do what you like but like what you do".

    Me, I love my job, I am comfortable and will figure it out when I get there.

    Google "Optima batteries are not the same as they use to be". You will find lots of "my battery is 8 years old and still works" but more my battery is less than two years old and I'm only third one".

    It looks like something changed in the last few years not for the good. That is what lead to me buying the Walmart platinum battery.

    OH man, old fart eyes didn't make out the arms. Looked like a couple bites missing from each edge of the emblem. I can see the blatantly obvious now!

    Hi :wave:

    Waiting at tire place to get tires swapped over on wife's Highlander. Thinking an investment in a second set of rims for it might be worth it.
    x2
    @MTgirl tire crap happens. You should look at your jack capability, maybe a heavy duty bottle jack in your kit might come in handy. We had to change a tire on Randy's big dually truck once with the camper on, it was quite a task and a heavier duty bottle jack would have been helpful.

    But... super happy for you with the new camper. Glad you got out with it! :woot:

    It is for me tonight's shift...but that doesn't help you. :sorry:

    Check craigslist and facebook for rims if you dont want anything fancy.
    Tire issues were something that concerned me about getting the camper. I guess I just have to hope that whatever happens, wherever it happens, is in a spot that I can undo the tiedowns and jack the camper up so its supporting itself while dealing with the truck.

    just getting tired of having to remind certain individuals that they need to do their own jobs and be accountable for their part in everything.

    messy hair, dont care

    try me!

    see above...same old, same old

    I'm gonna start looking, finding spare rims for the Tacomas has always been pretty easy, the Highlanders not so much. Might be worth the cost of new, although my frugal wife will disagree. Probably just do it and shrug when she sees the receipt. ;)
    A heavy duty bottle jack will keep you from having to go through all the work of undoing tie-downs and so forth. The scariest part of Randy's camper was always putting it on and off the truck. That heavy camper jacked up high on those little jack legs always made us both nervous as hell. Just sayin'... ;)

    No, were running but operators took control and said we will work on our own line as a crew.we know each other and have discused it as a crew,nobody will come in sick or exposed.or we will take a leave.our supv. has had us on our line ever since.would rather get some production than chase the PC forcast.3 out of 6 lines are running except one shuts down some for lack of people.they run the thicker softcover books the require more people.I feel pretty safe where im at nobody near me.still still scary stuff,havnt seen grandbaby since it started.wife went up yesterday,i didnt go because im around so much of this crap.baby June face timed me..she is semi talking now,wife said we got to go and June blew me some kisses and said love you popop.i had to hang up cause i may have teared up a good bit. hell, ant afraid to admit it..
