Thermo Tech Digital Thermometer


I got one of these to check the temperature of my tires. Why you may ask? If you know that your tire pressure is correct you can use this gadget to check the temp in your tires and know that they are accurate. This works great for the inside tires. I checked today and my back tires are within .1 of ea other. Whew!
It comes in a nice little case to protect the infrared laser. As we know, tire pressure is important for better gas mileage and to extend the life of our tires.

Thanks, Jack! Got it on Amazon.com for $44. If it saves my frustration with checking tires then it's money well spent.

Quick n Brite update. It is terrific for windows and black streaks. Yep those horrible black streaks, now granted you have to use a little elbow grease but what cleaner don't you for black streaks. Also, I've used it on a spot that I have been working on for several month on my carpet. Yep, did the trick too. I'll continue to update you as I use it on different things. So far, so good.

RV Show in Jacksonville FL

Yesterday I drove up to Jacksonville to the RV show to see what vendors were there and I wanted to look around at the new coaches. I bought some QuicknBrite cleaning products (supposed to be the only cleaner one ever needs) and as soon as I use it I'll give you feedback. Then I purchased some tape and Velcro strips and when I use those I'll let you know too. The one thing I bought that I've been looking for is a motion light for my porch light. It's LED so when I get that installed (means I have to take my ladder down from the back) I'll take a picture and post it. Only thing about the motion light is when my little critters visit again, my light will go on and off during the night. LOL

I'm now a member of Passport America which provides a 50% discount on campsites at certain member campgrounds. Should pay for the membership of $44. within a couple of stays in RV parks. By signing up at the RV show I got 6 months additional and the book which I would have paid $5 to have it shipped. If anyone signs up and mentions my member # I get $10 referral fee for ea new member. I only joined for 1 year because I want to make sure I'll be using the campgrounds listed in the book.

Next at the RV show is the LazyDays seminar that focused on RV maintenance. I was the only one at the seminar so it was like having my own private RV service technician for an hour to ask questions and take notes. It was just so cool and Steve was patient and very helpful. LazyDays is more than a place to sell RVs, it's a lifestyle. When I'm in the Tampa area I'll definitely stop by, they gave me a 2 night free site so what the heck. I will check it out.

So today, I took my notes out and flushed my water heater, cleaned around my refrigerator and furnace. I also put dog flea collar strips in each of those things 'cause Steve told me it will keep the spiders and dirt dobbers out of those areas. So I'm ready to repel the little varmints. Steve also told me that when I'm parked for a long period of time to have a full tank of gas and put a product called Stabil in the gas tank. So I picked up some today at Walmart to use when I'm in Key West for 3 months and they asked for my ID, seems you have to be over 18 to buy the stuff. I asked why and the young clerk said it's used for huffing. Oh, well.

My black & grey tanks are about full and I so hate to break down and go dump before Monday. I leave here then and am trying to hold out until then to dump. So I've been going to the bathhouse for the bathroom and showers. Now that it's turning a little colder and Fl State Park bathhouses are NOT heated I sure do hate the idea of going down there tomorrow for my shower. Guess it might just be a sink bath tomorrow.

I know, too much information (TMI) so sorry about that.

It's bike week and this park has filled up quickly today. No more room for anyone else. Nice bikes and nice rigs carrying them in. I'm sure that they don't like riding those shinny bikes on this dirt road.

Okay I digressed from the topic of this post but when I finally got started on this post I couldn't stop. I appreciate everyone making comments, I read every one, in fact I have to read them and approve they be posted. There is just no way for me to email back to you to respond to your comment. So if you ask questions, check back at the post and see if I have answered them. Several of us have the same problem with commenting back to our readers, seems that blogger.com hasn't come up with a way for us to do that. Anyway, keep you comments coming, I like them.

Also, I don't know if I have mentioned the ads on my page, guess I could look back at my posts and see if I have mentioned Google Ads but this will just serve as a reminder. If you see something that interests you on my site, clicking into the ads will give me a few cents. After I get enough clicks, Google will deposit those added cents to my bank account. You don't have to buy anything but just clicking helps.
