    It is incorrect to imply that most cell phones do not have built in GPS. NO CELL SERVICE IS NECESSARY TO USE YOUR PHONE AS A GPS DEVICE. You do need to insure that if you plan extended travel into areas without cell service you need to download the GPS maps for that area while cell service is available. However, when you plan a trip with something like Google Maps, Google downloads the entire route (or most of the route and will download more as you travel) so loss of cell signal will have no effect on the effectiveness of your GPS. Some tablets do not have GPS built in but you can add a GPS module or just look at the box before you buy and get one with GPS built in.

    Not sure where the “no cell signal, no GPS” mantra came from but the phones GPS works no matter the situation as long as you have the proper maps on your phone.

    June 9, 2023 at 3:35 pm in reply to: Crossing into Canada from Michigan

    Can’t help but figured I’d share a story. Only time I crossed into CA was when I was 18… back around 2003 before you needed a passport. Went up by Buffalo with my sister to pickup a huge welder I wanted. Borrowed her BFs little 2wd Tacoma truck in the middle of the winter. We pickup the welder no problem then see all these restaurants across the lake so decided to just trip it over to Canada and get Planet Hollywood. Cross the pond and wave back at the mounties as we don’t even have to stop at the border. Grab some yummy food and head back to US. Whole different story. Stop at the window and forgot I didn’t have a license just an ID (busted too many speeding tickets), my sister doesn’t even have her purse so nothing with an ID… and we’re driving someone else’s truck with a huge expensive welder in the back. Luckily they just take our pictures, search the truck and let us go on our merry way.

    Ever since I’ve been too afraid to cross into CA.

    Technically a breaker should only be expected to protect a conductor down stream of it. Jon’s original post is correct.

    This is all very interesting. Can someone post a picture of the HGB valve? I have a leak that we cant find and suggested to my refrigeration guy that it could be there. He had no idea what is was or what it would look like. Good info. Thanks, Jeff

    Hidden – yes, on the hot gas bypass as it is said to not be needed and also a common leak point.

    May 13, 2023 at 10:21 pm in reply to: Renewing my plumbing bay on 97 Royale

    I guess I am too old (or too young) but I only want my poop to leave the valve when I pull the valve. I guess if you are staying at one site for months at a time it would be easier to push a button, but I would rather just dump and fill on my schedule and with my eyeball on the “stuff”. Since I would know the weather forecast ahead of time it’s unlikely I would get wet and even if I did, it’s unlikely that I would melt.

    Cameras both for traffic maneuvering and monitoring. Never know if the footage might be useful to help with an insurance claim.

    Otherwise my security system is a notify only system with 4 paws and a vicious tail.

    Don:

    Correct me if I am wrong, but cleaning with a solution after having your radiator replaced risks reclogging the new radiator with debris.

    P.S. Thanks for the detailed post. Helps all of us learn.
