Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

And yet I feel so empty inside. Goodnight.

So my expressions of teen angst have been reduced to a historical comedy routine?!?!

See what happens when we get older?

Just as we crossed under the interchange for Hwy 429 on I-4 on our way into FW Thursday, I had my first blow out on the TT. We had stopped at the Rest Area just minutes before, and the tires looked fine, and were cool. Of course I didn't see the blowout, but passing drivers were waving and honking. I looked in the mirror and could see the flat tire and lots of smoke. I pulled off on the shoulder just a few yards ahead of a family with a blow out their 5th wheel. He said he had just checked his tires before leaving Tampa. We agreed something must have been in the road, but who knows. My smoke detector was going off inside the TT, but had no damage to the TT except for the tire which just came all apart. His tore up his brake wiring and some of his moulding on the side of the rig. He thought he had everything he needed to change a tire, but didn't have the correct lug wrench. Happily I have a 4 way that fit his too. Could've been much worse, (I have heard of some having the tire pound right through the floor of the rig), and only delayed us a half hour or so. I went to Camping World on Saturday while my Dd took her nephew to the pool, and got a new tire and looked through the 'toy store'. I ended up changing it in the overflow lot before we headed home.

Yikes!! We've not had a blowout yet and I hope it doesn't ever happen. To be so close to arrival to be delayed would just suck! Glad to hear everything turned out alright and you even got a trip to the "toy store" out of it!

Those blowouts can be nasty. A fellow T@B owner had TWO blowouts on a trip last summer. The first one killed the wheel well and some of the interior cabinets. The next one a few hundred miles later killed the other wheel well, the cabinets on that side, and most of his electrical system.

They had the tires analyzed after it was over, but could not find any defect. The investigators attributed it to extreme heat. He was parked at a Casino parking lot in Vegas for about 3 days and this was in August.

Ok for a complete explanation of the rog thing, please see my post on the will rog return thread.

Tony, I was really depressed that we missed each other, I would have loved to meet more dis'rs because it will be a while before we get back to the fort.

Gatordad, sorry to hear about your truck, that sucks. My last truck was always in the shop, that is why we traded it in on the new POS.

Why would the fort say they were booked up and not let us stay 1 more night? It doesn't make sense. OH well we are home now and time to start planning the next trip. First thing, pick a bank to rob to pay for the fuel!

Thanks for the clarification John.

BTW, the ECV worked out well for you? You should post something on the disABILITIES board.

I don't know about Tungpo and Lawnspecialties. But since we're keeping tabs on people I guess I'll let you know about CottontailCurl in case you all start wondering why she hasn't posted in awhile. There is a possibility that her husband will be deployed soon, so she is spending a lot of QT with her family. The Dis boards just hasn't been top priority lately. Maybe Momaloya can drop her a note of support?
