Pretty sure this Wilkins is in NY up by Bath. I haven't been there since they opened their new shop a few years ago, but they were very nice folks in their old location!

We have a set of nice, wineglasses that we wanted to keep with us while we travel. When we are on the move we put a glass inside an old (clean!) sock. Haven't lost one yet! Our regular stuff is corelle

I do not know Heartland's position on this, but many RV manufacturer's do not like the 5th airborne for some reason. Our manufacture has stated that they do not recommend use of the airborne hitch. We own a Demco Glide-Ride hitch, but I like the looks of the Trailer Air (2 shock unit)

I visit this site about every two months (to check for new files and updates) It pretty much covers all the popular GPS software programs, and has many useful POI's http://www.discoveryowners.com/cginfolinks.htm but I have found a few inaccuracies with the Walmart and Flying J info

I had the pleasure of using one of these a few weeks ago http://www.pressureprosystem.com/powertank.aspx My neighbors have one, (Dale and Mark Bruss) so I was able to borrow Mark's tank to give it a try. It has an excellent fill handle and accurate gage. I haven't contacted Pat about ordering...

How well do they work with the winds in Mission??? None

a little un-related, but there is another identity scam that has surfaced that is working well for the scammers. Folks are getting phone calls asking as to why the callee did not report for jury duty. (of course, jury duty is something most folks take seriously!) The caller then asks for...

The engines are made by International. International installs the element in all engines. I paid 8.64 for the cable at an International dealer in NJ. Maybe I should buy some more and sell them on Ebay for 24 bucks!

I was in a Velerro station in New Braunsfels this morning that the sign said 3.239, but when I filled up (52 gallons) the receipt said 3.079!! Computer error in my favor!!!!!!!:D

2.96 here in Austin today

I found an excellent guide that explains how to properly weigh your truck and trailer. The thing I like most about it is that it has lots of pictures and diagrams so you can understand the process!! http://www.trucktires.com/bridgestone/us_eng/press/zip/WeighForm.pdf

Pat, are there still lots for sale in Mission?? I don't have an HDT, but maybe my F550 is good enough??!!?? None I bought my Pressure Pro system from Mike and Pat, and it was a pleasure doing business with them! Doug
