Both color variations appear in my yard. And each turns into a large grasshopper that can only generally be killed by crushing their bodies.No animal or creature that I know of will eat them and they are to large for fish bait.</div>

Construction of my NOLO Bait station.<br />
<br />
There were many comments about bait stations, but no pictures or drawings so these are my idea.<br />
<br />
I used 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe cut to about 8 inches using alternating 45 degree cuts to provide each end with an overhang hopefully to help keep out water which causes the NOLO Bait to become inert.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Liquid RV Roof by EPDM Coatings. My order consisted of one Liquid Roof -5 Gallon Pail and three Liquid Roof Gallon Kits. Each Gallon Kit included 1 Gallon Liquid Roof, 1 mixer , a 10 foot roll of polyester fabric and a 2-1/2 inch bristle brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My original order from EPDM Coatings was in March of 2016, but I injured my back and was unable to do the job as I intended so in May of 2016 I inquired and was told the shelf life was five (5) years. Much of the year in Florida the temperature prohibits older folks like me from working on the roof, as does various medications I take. </div>

It is now December, 2017 and we have almost finished prepping the roof of the fifth wheel for the Liquid Roof. Any cuts in the roof have been patched with an EPDM tape and caulked with Dicor Self Leveling Sealant.</div>

At the bottom of the picture you can see Dicor Self Leveling Sealant around the tape surrounding a roof vent and the refrigeration vent. the plastic on the roof for every vent was replaced except the ones normally kept under the large vent covers.</div>

The Saga Continues, Part Two of the Liquid Roof Adventure</div>

While the replacement Liquid Roof arrived fairly quickly, my assistant was no longer available. During the roughly two months it took for everyone's schedule to work out, the roof became filthy and in need of another wash and rinse before any painting could be accomplished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The situation also had at least one good point. The Dicor Self Leveling Sealant that was so very fresh in December now had two months to age and it was a lot firmer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was decided that rather than remove the AC unit and paint the area under it; we would loosen the screws that hold it in place, lift the unit and hold it up with 2X4 blocks so a paint roller would fit underneath and we would not be trying to align the AC unit over wet Liquid Roof.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day before my helper arrived, I washed the roof again with a Flow Thru Extendable Brush that allowed me to wash the roof from the scaffolding without getting on the wet roof.<br />
<br />

However, my money (about $20) was wasted with that brush. The connection between the brush and the hose was not made strong enough and it was destroyed by the weight of the hose at about the 90% completed mark. Some ideas work, some don't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Finally, we are ready to do the roof. My partner Reed is taping the roof edges to keep the Liquid Roof on the roof and not the side of the camper. At this point, we only had to tape a line down each side and across the fiberglass at each end; everything inside that area gets painted. All taping and final preps were done the day before the actual painting.</div>

I spent a lot of time reading the questions asked on EPDM Coatings site and found it somewhat confusing. many comments appeared to relate more to building roofs than RV roofs. There were no specific directions on how to lay a 30 mil coat rather than a 20 mil coat. But in the notes I read about dividing up the areas for coverage that would meet the 10 year warranty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my drawing of the roof (without cutouts such as vents and AC units), I took the length and width of the area I wanted to cover and divided it into equal sections of 3.5 feet long and 8 foot wide. We tried to spread one gallon of Liquid RV Roof for every 30 (3.5 X * equals 30) square feet of roof and we had 8 gallons of material to use. Which one note said would give 30 mil coverage.</div>

One problem we an into was getting the Venturi effect in the paint can when mixing the catalyst. A half inch drill was recommended to enable this effect to take place which would create a Venturi effect in the can allowing you to pour the catalyst into instead of on to the paint in the can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter what speed I used on the 1/2 inch drill, I could not really get the Venturi effect demonstrated in the videos shown on the EPDM Coatings website.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also confusing info on how many minutes the paint needed to be stirred to be thoroughly mixed. Bear in mind that your working time starts when the catalyst hits the paint in the can and that time is an unknown variable based on ambient temperature.</div>

There seemed to be TWO types of Gravity Fill/City Water Intake boxes out there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is one difference, the tapered tube that goes into the water fill hose is not an integral part of the Gravity Fill/City Water Intake box (aka box).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This tube passes through the box from the outside and the tapered end fits into the water intake hose which is then clamped in place by a stainless steel hose clamp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tube then rotates in the mounting hole until it twist locks in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note the locking tabs on the large (right) side of the taper tube.</div>

When the box is removed all of the years worth of sealant will need to be cleaned off and screw holes inspected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not all screw holes may be reusable, plus some may be so close to the edge to be unusable.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The really bad news was, THERE WAS NO EXCESS HOSE OR PIPE AVAILABLE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The instant the box was clear of the hull, that was the space you had to work in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything at this point was difficult, disconnecting the city water connection, the vent and the fill hose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the other hand, the disconnection was so much easier than the re-connection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inside the hull was an area bout the size a large pair of boots would fit into.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But there was NO PLAY in anything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two inches extra length would have allowed my hands to fit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The vent and water lines were basically a very stiff type of (I think) PEX pipe which is very stiff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, I had no problem reattaching the vent and city water lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The taper tube and the water inlet hose for the water tank were the problem. I could not put pressure holding the taper tube into the water hose while screwing the hose clamp tight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
II had it once but when I attempted to twist lock the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
taper tube into the box mount the fill hose came loose from the taper tube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I solved the problem by first connecting the taper tube into the fill hose with the box rotated clockwise so that it pointed to about the 4 o'clock position. Then I managed to get the hose up the taper tube and very care fully tighten the hose clamp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I slowly twisted the box counterclockwise to twist lock the taper tube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that I carefully connected the vent and then the city water hose connection (left to right).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a pain in the &^*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I filled the fresh water tank so I could run the water pump to check proper operation of the City Water connection check valve as well as checking each connection and or joint for leakage.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWyXl0ES-i7xgjpy7n15NeK-zN5sdI-ibCdc1Ov8-IOkkHn5i2VIFz8y__BcPazAqpSLRvgVtgk2-La2J-aua90BPljJFqGN9xHMFRTEZwv7_JhVU008SFWh0_gBFgIq5zLTNqww/s1600/IMG_5351+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1144" data-original-width="1600" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWyXl0ES-i7xgjpy7n15NeK-zN5sdI-ibCdc1Ov8-IOkkHn5i2VIFz8y__BcPazAqpSLRvgVtgk2-La2J-aua90BPljJFqGN9xHMFRTEZwv7_JhVU008SFWh0_gBFgIq5zLTNqww/s400/IMG_5351+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I re-installed the box into the RV hull. On the left side there were two screw holes that time had got the better of. I put screw back in after placing some toothpicks in the holes. However, you can see that I also added three new screws on the left side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before installing the box, I placed a strip of Butyl caulking tape around the outside edge of the box to keep water out of the RV.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also placed the Fresh Water warning label inside the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finished.</div>

This is not a Dometic part, they want about $60 for theirs. The original was labeled 35/5uf, 370 volts, protected 10,000 and I upgraded to a 35/5 uf, 440 volt capacitor, protected 10,000 and with all other parameters matching or exceeded for about $12</div>

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last weekend, we camped in Bushnell, FL and it rained. It rained inches of water. My first indication of an Ohh Oooooooo was water on the floor by the kitchen drawers. I found the water coming down the grey water tank vent and then dripping down the front of the refrigerator and puddling on the floor. a towel was strategically placed to prevent damage (soak up water).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next morning while working under the nose cap I realized water was dripping on me from an area where no water should be. Pushing on the underside of the nose piece revealed water in the nose piece. I tried reaching in through the hitch but no luck. I then drilled three holes to let the water out, but I did not get a free flow until I made the drilled hole 1/4 inch. I have to thank my SweetheartFace for the suggestion to use a larger drill bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now we are moored alongside our quarters and roof maintenance has begun. Between 95 degree days, and parts runs to Revels Nationwide RV Accessory, Starke, FL. this job could go on for ever!</div>

One of my favorite tools for working on my RV. The screws that were factory installed are square drive steel. Since I find many that were badly rusted, I change them out for a slightly larger stainless steel Phillips screw. If you set them with a power driver, I recommend final tightening with a manual screwdriver. </div>

At this point, I have already removed all of the old Dicor sealant from the seam. Some previous owner had also used some form of silicone sealant on the seams leading edge, between the seam and the fiberglass nose piece.<b> Never use silicone sealant on your RV.</b> Since I have a rubber roof membrane, I always use Dicor sealants. I have started laying the Dicor Lap Sealant from the far side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the back of the picture there is a small dent in the roof and the seam, With the Dicor in the shape it was in, that would make an excellent place for water to pool and seep into the nose cap. Since I will never know exactly how the water entered I must seal every possible avenue that water could flow or seep.<br />

I use a battery operated caulking gun made by Ryobi. It was relatively inexpensive and uses the same batteries as my drill. You have to manually take the pressure off the caulking tube but you can set the speed for expelling the caulking with a switch on the gun. I am not one who can regulate flow in a manually operated caulking gun; I have a hard enough time with this one. Also, when running a bead you can not see behind you. When you hit an obstacle it is reflected in the bead.</div>

Two vents and the refrigerator roof vent to replace. The vent in the middle is the one the water appeared to flow down into the coach, but the Dicor around that vent appears to be in good health. However, the refrigerator vent on the left of the picture is holed on the front left side and may have allowed water to leak in. Once water is in, it finds it's own path to flow.</div>

The Dicor on the right side (nose piece) was laid down first. This Dicor is self leveling so it flows some and levels itself out. However, the self leveling Dicor can NOT be used on the vertical surface. I stopped at this point to allow the Dicor to level out. Hopefully if it rains before I am done, the water on the vertical side will fall to the ground. Eventually, this seam will be covered from end to end with EternaSeam.<br />

Mastic and Dicor held the base in place. When you see this gray mastic, it means you are going to be doing some real WORK. removing whatever is held down by the gray mastic.

Quick Roof Extreme (QRE) 4 inch tape around the refrigerator vent hole. While removing the old vent base, I did manage to cut some of the roof membrane. This tape goes from the inside of the access hole out 4 inches and is laid over the gray mastic and the old Dicor after wiping them clean with mineral spirits. The tape was then rolled using a large 1 inch socket o apply pressure as well as my hands.</div>

Today's roof working costume for playing in the sun. Exposed areas are covered with judicious amounts Ocean Potion. I started using Ocean Potion years ago while working on the various police firearms ranges. Ocean Potion does not run into your eyes when you sweat. I put it on in the morning as soon as I dry from the shower. while you are still damp. Then dress and by the time you arrive at the range it will not run when you sweat. Skip the shaving, it stings a little on a fresh shave. I carefully wipe off any on my lips or the palms of my hands and fingers.</div>

Bummer, it has rained and more water appears to be dripping out of the nose cap. I looked over everything and I am sure the water is NOT coming from the rubber roof nose cap joint. The trailer clearance lights along the top of the nose cap lenses are somewhat cracked and some of the lights appear to have water in them. I have more on order, but the supply place is waiting for their supplier.</div>

Drivers side rear complete. At this point, all of my really bad Dicor joints have been resolved so I have to now start sealing the joints on the side of the RV. I also have ordered and am awaiting shipment for all new LED clearance lights. I think some of the water in the nose cap area is coming from either a side joint or a clearance light.<br />
<br />
When I started this particular adventure I thought it might run into two weeks. It has now been over three weeks but I know the roof is secure. later I will go back up and tape around the roof vent covers and do the remaining brackets.<br />
<br />
Then I plan to change the air conditioner gasket and perhaps the air conditioner before painting the entire roof with EPDM rubber roof paint<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What is not discussed clearly in the paperwork is there is no real connection between the gas side and the electric side of the Atwood RV Gas/Electric Combo Water Heater. If you lose water on the electric side, you do not need to waste time on the gas side... they do not interconnect. If your gas problem is anything besides changing the E.C.O. and T'stat, you need to see a certified propane gas technician.</div>

Replacement E.C.O. (Emergency Cut Off) and T'Stat (Thermostat) for the gas side of the water heater. The you tube video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYzqP2BFrMk explains how to replace the gas side ECO and T'Stat. Both twist under tabs in the sheet metal frame of the water heater. On mine someone previos had pounded the tabs flat. DO NOT POUND TABS FLAT!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The electric E.C.O. and T'Stat are very similar but different as they are 110 volts and the gas side is 12 volts.</div>

My rig uses a Romex 14-2 cable to provide power to the electric side of the hot water heater. In mine, the excess cable is firmly stuck under the water heater. Therefore, I had to install a metal junction box in order to have enough Romex to reconnect the water heater.<br />

The electric heating element measures 10 ohms of resistance if it is good. Mine did not need replacement.<br />

I purchased a 15 foot section of 14-2 Romex and used that to extend my wire through a junction box. I also cut and stripped the cable as required to make the jumper and connecting wires that I needed. The ECO and T'stat require the use of insulated Flag connectors as the wire comes off the terminals at 90 degrees. I also used heat shrink on my ground cable inside the access panel to prevent anything shorting inside the box. Make sure wire nuts are tight to prevent them from coming off. </div>

Take special care when reattaching the access cover as the area you are working in is very tight.</div>

A few weeks ago, while traveling for a scheduled weekend camping trip, I had my first flat tire on my fifth wheel. It was not a big deal as it happened after we left I-95. In fact we were passing under the last traffic light before we turned into our campground.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tire did not explode although it did make a loud thump as it let go. As I got out of the truck 100 yards later I could still hear air coming out of the tire. Obviously, the tire was totaled but it did not disintegrate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After checking in, I dragged the rig through the entire park on three wheels and parked in my assigned space. I was more than a little concerned because I have no idea how far you can travel on three tires.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was also surprised because I never move my rig without ensuring my tire pressures are correct. I even have an on-board compressor to use prior to leaving a campground. My tires were 4 years 8 months lod, the are light truck tires and asr made by BF Goodrich... Commercial TA tires.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next day an old shipmate helped me jack up the rig and remove the tire. I purchased a new tire at Tire Kingdom and reinstalled it later that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Tire Kingdom Manager said that happens often with fifth wheel (RV) tires when they are stored more than rolled down the highway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I got back home I pulled my spare, with took well over an hour to get loose from it's mount under the fifth wheel. The age of the spare was unknown since it had been in place when I bought the fifth wheel five years previous. The rim of the spare was all rusted, pitted and flaking so the entire assembly was disposed of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought a new steel rim from a trailer shop on 301 in Hawthorne and 4 more new tires from Tire Kingdom to replace them all. The first new one which was made in excess of a year prior to my purchasing it on the trip (as the only tire available for 7 days) was dismounted and put on the steel rim as a spare. The other 4 tires were then mounted on the dress rims and placed on the fifth wheel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After smashing my thumb while removing the spare, I realized the likelihood of reinstalling the spare tire under the fifth wheel was non-existent. There was no way I was going to hold up a 65 pound tire with one hand and start a not on a threaded shaft with the other while lying flat on the ground.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I went on the internet looking for spare tire carriers and I found this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbXf8hx7Qb-KTszlNUohYUlyb7gpxl5FBB1G5vLhSobXOJWTGfYgullO4QTqd0NOOIht3STfN1PX26vMKUzknRiVS-54ocQMGLpuU_J_dNg3-9pojJpHB_kccKU6HZiiGDls2aw/s1600/spare_tire_overview.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbXf8hx7Qb-KTszlNUohYUlyb7gpxl5FBB1G5vLhSobXOJWTGfYgullO4QTqd0NOOIht3STfN1PX26vMKUzknRiVS-54ocQMGLpuU_J_dNg3-9pojJpHB_kccKU6HZiiGDls2aw/s320/spare_tire_overview.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well I found others, but all of the others involved picking up a 65 pound tire. And in one of the videos, albeit was a motor home being discussed, The same thoughts hold true for any RV. And that basically was, flats often destroy rims as well as tires. And depending on where you are they may NOT be available and all costs getting them there will be absorbed by the person with the problem flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So after finding the best price, the sucker is not cheap but it is very well made IMHO, I ordered one and installed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

But the 9/16 inch bolts that came with it did not reach the bolt holes in the steel rim of my spare. So I decided to look for 6 inch tap bolts that would allow me to bolt them to the mount on one end of the bolt and to the tire on the other end. It seems that 9/16 inch tap bolts are not made or if they are made they are scarce and I found none on the internet. Oh did I mention they have to be Grade 5 bolts at a minimum.</div>

So here are my six inch long, Grade 5, 5/8 inch bolts as they arrived. I also got Grade 5 nuts, washers and lock washers at the same time.<br />

Now the slots and previously drilled holes in the mounting plate are alsso 9/16 inch so I also own a new 5/8 inch drill bit for reaming a 9/16 inch hole larger.<br />

Here is the first 5/8 inch bolt ready to tighten in place on the mounting plate.<br />

Here it is tightened down and the second mounting bolt 5/8 " hole has been drilled in the mounting plate. At this point things began to get a little more challenging. The mount normally uses 9/16" bolts which have more plan in the rim mounting bolt holes. Therefore with 9/16" bolts you can be a little sloop in alignment... NOT so with 5/8" bolts.. At this point, that 65 pound tire was going on and off the mount to many times to enjoy. The extra hole was drilled because I could not get a 5/8" bolt to align and it seemed a lot easier to add another bolt hole.<br />

Another fun fact, the bolts never reall looked like they were parallel to each other, even when torqued down. The mounting plate slopes off on each side as you move away from the center.<br />

Both bolts are tightened to the back plate, the back plate is attached to the fifth wheel and spare tire mounting is about to take place. I am figuring out the location of the stop bolts that the tire rim will actually lock up to when tightened.<br />

I used nail polish to mark where I wanted the stop bolts to stop. Nail polish also prevents the bolt from wandering while allowing me to move it if I so desire.<br />

This was my first submarine after graduation from Submarine School. She served as a Sub School training aid for Officer and Enlisted Sub School students. We normally went to sea daily, making 8 dives before the noon meal and 8 dives after. During the Cuban Crisis she was sent into the North Atlantic to watch for Soviet submarines. We also made trips to Halifax, NS; Eastport, ME; and Quonset Point, RI. In 1963 we also deployed for a 6 month Mediterranean trip. </div>

They were old pals from way back.

Crash was a UF dropout from Gainesville, FL. When found he was taken in by one of our daughters who had no idea what she was going to do with a crippled cat. The problem was solved by giving the cat to her Dad.<br />
<br />
Crash had some neurological problems with his hind quarters but that never slowed him down. He decided at a very young age that if he terrified every dog he met, they would then leave him alone. Crash, was in fact observed many times staking out choke points where he could ambush any unsuspecting dog who should happen to pass by.<br />
<br />
He never bothered any dog who lived in the house and in fact, was quite friendly with all our dogs. However, he ambushed any of our kids dogs who happened to visit.
Impaired in the rear quarters he may have been but the front half was a fully armed and ready to go male tomcat.<br />
<br />
Last night it became obvious that he could no longer walk and the end was near. We observed him today and his hind quarters no longer functioned. Crash passed on today at home with the assistance of our veterinarian who ensured that he was not all stressed out. Crash never could abide a trip to the vet, and in fact schooled a few of them also.<br />
<br />
Crash was with us over 14 years.<br />
<br />
He waited every night at the front door to greet either of us when we returned home. He will be sorely missed!<br />

The lever action needs to be operated "with purpose."<br />
Neither shooter has enough experience to do that, so all shooting today was "by the numbers."<br />
One often forgets where his trigger finger is!<br />

What a great month this has been! Another find, a 1918 BSA No I MkIII* Enfield Rifle. The bolt, receiver and barrel serial numbers match, but someone sporterized it by cutting the stock thereby removing the up front hardware. The bore is dark but the rifling is still shiney.<br />

The stock sling cut is of the early "I" type. However, this is the second bad spot as someone has filled the sling cut in. How they did it is to be determined later.<br />

So far, I have had this totally apart, cleaned it thoroughly with 0000 steel wool and Hoppes #9. Every part that I could identify is a Winchester part. So in the near future I will be looking for a Winchester front sight and trying to determine the best way to clean out the stock sling cut as this is an early stock. However, the stock has been scrubbed of external markings.</div>

<br />
<br />
I recently purchased a Type 99 Arisaka Rifle. However, I neglected to take pictures of it's original condition while it was in the shop. However, at this point it has been completely disassembled and all metal cleaned with 0000 steel wool and Hoppes #9. During that cleaning period I found the stock finish was made by the Japanese from a poison Sumac and that sanding the stock could be detrimental to your health. Therefore, the stock was scrubbed with Formby's Furniture Refinisher
and sprayed with a semi-gloss Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane to cover the original finish while still resembling it.<br />

The duffle cut. It took me longer than it should have to figure out why the upper hand guard was loose. Even though I knew the lower band screw went through the forearm on the wrong side of the break. But it came together when I finally realized the stock minus hand guard was one piece not two.<br />

Another angle view on the duffle cut. A Duffle Cut is defined as a cut in the stock, often under a band, to allowing returning soldiers to bring home their trophy in their duffle bag. In this case, I believe the duffle cut kept people from using this rifle over the years because the handgusrd was "broke."<br />
<br />
I am still mentally working out the procedure I want to use to restore the stock. to it's one piece condition.<br />

One daughter and family lives in Takoma Park, MD. Another daughter and her family lives in Ft Rucker, AL. Two states, two school systems; one is out the other still in session. So while two grandsons attended school in MD, the rest of us went into DC. Years ago, while stationed in Bainbridge, MD I used to hit the pubs in DC. But during this trip, I basically had no idea where i was. We went in by rail and left the same way. I got on and off when my daughter Marcy said "Get!"

George Washington's shed for separating wheat from chaff. The wheat was trampled by horses on the upper deck and the wheat grains fell onto the lower deck.

Except for the love bugs. The leading edge of my rig has already been scrubbed but you can still see the remains of the love bugs. The perpendicular area was solid black when we arrived... the sloped areas were much less so. Every black dot on the front was made by a pair of love bugs. The rig needs a good coat of wax, at least on the leading edge, before her next road trip<br />

Auto Zone, located at the end of the campground... and they have either part in stock in the building. Just waiting for Monday to ensure we changed the correct part. This campground is next to a nice Wal Mart, McDonalds and Taco Bell/Kentucky Fried Chicken. Sunday night's supper was KFC Buffet. I did get the F350's oil changed Saturday since it was so close.<br />

Monday morning, while waiting for a call from Good Sam's Roadside Service, I tried it again. My blushing bride had just hit the shower when the truck started. We cancelled the roadside service, and completed the steps necessary to depart asap with the F350 running. And when the trailer was safely moored alongside the house we took the truck to our mechanic for service. Since he could only get it to NOT start once, he replaced the solenoid mounted over the right front wheel. We are still trying to duplicate the NO start but he said 90+ % it is usually the solenoid he replaced.The Safety Officerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16410785613758211433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17818831.post-57518842589972812642012-05-20T18:42:00.000-04:002012-05-20T18:42:51.005-04:00April 2012, Sugar Mill Ruins RV Park<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
