[A/S] Back From Walt's

Hi Gang,

Just got home, spent a couple of hours at Walt's getting stuff fixed.  The 
new antenna is way cool. It's a trucker's cellphone antenna.  Walt's guys 
mounted it on the side of the trailer for me.  It gave the phone quite a 
boost and keeps the death rays away from me when I'm on the phone <g>  It 
should make a big difference when I'm using the cell to get online.

Got the funky smell out of the hot water tank. Seems that not using it for 
months caused it.  

WD40ed lots of sticking things, like the step, the door, the black tank valve 
puller.

Seaed and tightened the screws holding the "sunglasses" which seemed to be 
what is causing the little drips down the screen into the trailer.

When I got home I goofed a little and when I unhooked the trailer it was 
tough to drive out of the hitch.... I get impulsive and instead of fixing the 
problem I just powered out...... this caused the jack to jump off the board 
and sink into the sandy soil.  Oops, trailer was almost on its nose. 

I tried putting the jack further down.... it just kept sinking. Now I'm 
picturing a big truck jack lifting the front so I could get that board back 
under...... then I saw the front A frame and got an idea. I got two large 
firewood logs and put them under the frame on each side and lifted the jack 
all the way up. The trailer held and I slipped the board under the jack and 
voila... I could then lift the trailer. 

I know the rest of you probably would have known what to do right away, but 
thought I would share in case someone didn't know. It's a sinking feeling 
when the jack is sinking (c:
