Can you believe this weather?

 What is your weather, Dianne?  We have Santa Ana s here and it was HOT and windy today.  I m prepared for cold at night and cool during the day.  Think that will cover it??  Our TB is packed almost solid.  We just don t have the same amount of room as we had in the van.  Guess I ll have to learn to travel lighter.  I m exhausted from getting everything ready, but it is ready and we ll be out the door by 7 a.m.  The camper is even hooked up and ready to roll.  I have one more task and then my feet are up for the night.  See you tomorrow Larry & Rita!  See the rest of you on Friday.

We re all packed up except for three things that have to wait until morning.  Actually ONE THING, the electric cooler, has to wait until morning.  The other two things have to go on top of the cooler----do sometimes miss the ROOM in the minivan.
 
 So packed and hooked and have a 7:00 a.m. ETD.
 
 Larry--we ll call you about the time we pass Camping World.  That way we can tool in together and help each other set up between sips of " beer and wine only."   Do we have enough empty beer and wine bottles.  [8D]  I think that we do.

Wow!  If Chabot s weather is anything like here today, Larry, Rita, Scott, & Georgeanne are in for a real treat!  I can t wait until tomorrow!  Except for the cold food, I m loaded up and ready to roll out in the morning.
 
 Just a reminder;
 The last time I checked the PU tires was the day before the Del Valle rally in early November.  They were down to 58 psi & 60 psi today.  The spare was fine.  The stock Coleman tires should be set at 65 psi.  Glad I checked.
 
 Can t wait to try out my Lynx " stop-n-chock"  and the red/silver solar blankets under the mattresses.
 
 See everyone tomorrow and drive safely!

I checked my tires the other day.  They are supposed to be at 50psi and they were at 30 -35 psi.[]

 Nick
Holy smokes Mike!  How long ago did you last check them for them to drop that much?  I hope it was a long time ago or you might consider having them " re-set" , or whatever that s called when they remove & replace the tires from the rims, lol.

[Nick]

 Nick
Its been several months.  Although they have not droped since I filled them last Saturday.

 Hey I told a fellow Avalanche owner about the group, sent him to the nick-neff-cough.org website too so who knows might have an Av owner around once I leave too
 
 Well the camper is in the street just waiting me to come sit in it!

[Red neff Barchetta]

 Nick
Yeah, yeah.  Mine s in the street too.  Unfortunately I can t sit in it though, only crawl.
 Glad to see Y-Guy & Teacher Mom have finally made it!  That Kiwi Family character was too weird.  Glad he/she has moved on.
