Crimson Trace Laser Sight Dennis

Just bought the DW a Smith M&P 9mm compact... Sweet shooting gun, and fairly small. I like the gun so much, I'm going to buy one in .40 cal, just trying to figure out if I want the compact or full size (same capacity magazine in the Peoples Republic of California). Yepuhuh, how do like the...

John I totally agree with Boatdoc, I live in Lancaster, and if I was at Edwards, I'd do the 58 to 395 to I-15 to I-10. Dennis

PJ If you are staying at Flag City in Lodi, make sure you get one of the newer modified, wider spots. The old spots that haven't been widened yet are to narrow! They shouls have most of the spots done by now. See you at Buelton. Dennis

Hannah It is either 3 good travel days or 4 real easy days. I prefer to do the 4 days when I have the time, but I have also done it in 3. Dennis

Hannah We live in Lancaster, so that is a route we use all the time. It won't be much longer for you to go up either 15 or 215 to the 138, or you can go a little furthe up 15 to Palmdale Road, you will have a climb either way, I think the climb going to Palmdale Road is a shorter climb, but the...

Jim You sure you got a Boston Butt, not a Whole hog, thats one big Butt. You might have to slice that big boy up to get it to fit... What times dinner?? Dennis

Jim I've been thinking of trying to make the So Cal Rally in Buelton, have to see what my back to work schedule looks like during that time, but I should be able to make it. I retired at the end of April, but I'm going back to work part time for a few months next month, so we'll see haow it...

Tom Glad to see you like the Orion, not many that don't! My favorite ribs are pork baby backs or Saint Louis Style (Jims look like either big baby backs or small St Louis), both cook in about the same time. I did a 9 lb boston butt last weekend for pulled pork, man it was goooood! Sounds like...

Tom Actually cherry chips are my second favorite for ribs, so not a bad choice. Enjoy them ribs. Dennis

Tom Make sure you read the manual... For doing ribs and other pork, I like to use apple wood chips. The instructions call for I think 1 cup of chips, that is just about right. Some types of wood give stronger smoke than others. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine, folks just cant get...

Tom You really do get a nice smoke flavor in the meat. If you look at the community forums ( http://www.orionoutdoors.com/community/forums/viewforum.php?id=1 ), you will get a good idea of what the unit will do. I don't think I will go back to a water smoker again (had 3 different ones). Good...

Tom I kind of gave up on the water smokers. I saw an Orion cooker at Home Depot a couple of years ago and tried one out. It is a really nice unit, and smokes meat in a fraction of the time a conventional smoker does. The website is www.orioncooker.com Bass Pro Shops and Ace Hardware both carry...

If big Al is a retired LEO, he can legally carry concealed in any state under the protection of HR 218 that was passed several years ago. It has a few catches, but for the most part any LEO or retired LEO can carry concealed. Dennis

Chris No problem, but my dogs not a chewer... Dennis

Chris We use a folding crate similar to this one for our dog, they are light weight and take very little space when the slides are pulled in and easisly go thru the door, they are only about 6" thick when folded up...

WalMart just started to carry the 9 x 12 woven mats in the RV section of Automotive. They were either $45 or $50. Dennis

I just got an E-mail from Good Sam about their 2010 Rally, its the weekend after our 2010 rally in Nashville, and theirs is in Louisville, KY, only about 175 miles from Nashville. It might be nice to have a big Heartland showing at their rally also. Dennis

I pull my 3055 with a 2001 F-350 with 3.73 gears, a 4" exhaust and a power tuner. I get a very consistant 10.2 to 10.5, it doesn't seem to matter if I'm going up and down hills or on flat land, the average is about the same. I usually pull at about 62 mph, it seems like a sweet spot on the power...

I solved my 2 "problem" doors by installing the old style RV cabinet door locks. These locks replace the existing door knob and require you to pull the knob out to release the lock. I've customized 2 of my doors, the first was the door under the kitchen counter that the entertainment slide took...

Pete Like Smokey said, there needs to be a minimum of outlets per system, the ideal number is between 8 and 12, with 8 being the minimum. Here is a link that is for the installation of a ducted system with all the specifications. I added 3 extra vents in the living area, and installed vents that...

I had a similar problem with my 2007 BH, the inside edge of the RH rear tire was wearing on the edge. I took it to a frame shop and they measured everything out and told me the alignment was perfect, and that the problem was with the china bombs I had on the unit. I purchased a set of G614's...

Ray I thought the shoes on my BH were worn out when I pulled the drums and saw how thin the backing was. Upon further investigation, I discovered that they were almost still in new condition. If you look at sites that sell trailer brakes, you will find that the thickness of the pads aren't...

I just replaced the recliners in my 3055 last weekend with a couple of La-Z-Boy Rialto model recliners. I got them on sale last weekend for $1040 for the pair out the door. The specs say they are 32" wide, but they are really 31". When the slides pull in, there is about a 2" gap to clear the...

Larry Go to Home Depot, they have the 5 & 11 lb tanks at about 1/2 of what CW gets for them. I use the 11 lb tank with a manifols so I can run the BBQ, a stove and a light at the same time. I stow my tank in the bed of the truck between the wheel well and the hitch. Dennis

I have the Ultra Fabs on my 3055 and they take out almost all the movement. Another thing that helps with the shimmy of being on the tires are either BAL chocks or Roto chocks, they lock the wheels into a semi rigid condition and help a lot with the shimmy. Dennis

I put G614's on my 2007 3055, and the BAL locks work fine, really like the tires. Dennis

Retired by then or not, I'm going to go... Been wanting to go to Nashville, this make a good excuse to go. Dennis

Bob I just went to HF this afternoon, and the lights are on sale for $13.99, they may only be 5 LEDS, but they are much brighter than the original lights. Dennis

John Don't waste your time on the Walmart Camera, many of us have tried them without any luck. There are some good units on the market, Here's a link to the guy I bought mine from, lots of choices, good prices and great service. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/interceptinc Dennis

Bob I got my LED rear lights at Harbor Freight for $12.95 on sale, they do the sale all the time and they work great. I don't know if this is the same guy on E-bay, but here is a link for 13 light for $60...

Patrick I actually made one from a piece of oak that looks like a double version of the handhold next to the entry door. Sorry I don't have picture, the unit is back in storage. Dennis

Patrick I just added a grab handle to my 3055 last week in the same location. There isn't anything behind that wall that will get in the way of installing the handle. I had to use 3/16 toggle bolts to hold the handle securely, as the wall material isn't strong enough to hold the load with just...

Lefty What say Yea on the flourescent lights?? What are the good ones and bad ones, pricey nes and cheap ones?? Thanks Dennis

Cris The place is very kid friendly, and there is plenty of lawn area for the dogs. As long as the dogs don't fit into one of the agressive breeds, they are welcome at the park. This is one of my favorite 'in close' parks. Dennis

Dave A really nice place we stayed a couple of summers ago was just west of Port Angeles, WA at Salt Creek County Park. The spots are first come first served, but we were able to get 3 spots on a weekend in July. The cost is $22 per night with water and electric hook-ups. The view is GREAT...

Gus That does fall under that catagory, also under the don't send the wife out to turn off the water, do it yourself, you might remember to latch the door. Dennis

Chris The Bighorns do not come with a battery cutoff switch. The antenna amp should be drawing something less than 100ma, usually much less. I doubt if that is your problem, your solar should have more than enough power to have fully charged everything by now. Dennis

Steve The door on a 12 gal WH and the 10 gal WH are the same door, so a screnn that fits the 10 gal model will work (don't ask how I know, $58 later for a new door) Dennis

Mike Love the new Avatar!!! Dennis
