I HAVE A QFTD. QUESTION FOR THE DAY
AS A QUICK WAY TO INSULATE THE FLOOR IN THE EYELINER WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR ME TO TAKE QUARTER INCH POLYISO AND CUT IT IN PIECES WHERE IT WILL FIT. BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE AREA THAT IS ABOUT 2 FT WIDE OF FLOOR THAT RUNS TO THE BACK FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER. THEN THERE'S PIECES THAT HAVE TO BE CUT FOR THE DOORWAY SECTION. THEN THERE ARE ARE DIFFERENT SIZED PIECES THAT GO TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT IN FRONT OF THE BED/COUCH. I THINK IT WILL BE EASIER TO CUT THESE VARIOUS PIECES AND PUT THEM TOGETHER LIKE A PUZZLE ON THE FLOOR HOLDING THEM TOGETHER WITH TAPE. THEN WHEN I NEED TO PULL THEM UP SINCE THEY WON'T BE ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR I WILL BE ABLE I'M THINKING TO SIMPLY SLICE BETWEEN THE PIECES THROUGH THE TAPE AND PICK THEM UP. I CAN ALWAYS RETAPE THEM WHEN I NEED TO PUT THEM BACK DOWN.
I'M THINKING OF LAYING DOWN THAT LAYER OF INSULATION THEN SECTIONS OF THE GRAY INDOOR OUTDOOR CARPET UNLESS IT COMES LIKE IN A TAN COLOR AND ON TOP OF THE CARPET PUTTING MY THROW RUGS.
I COULD ALSO CUT PIECES OF INSULATION TO FIT INSIDE THE BOTTOM OF THE CABINETS. I WAS THINKING OF USING HALF INCH FOAM INSULATION PIECES UNDERNEATH THE BED AREA WHICH HAS AN OUTSIDE ACCESS DOOR. MY WATER TANK IS UNDER THERE HOWEVER I DON'T PLAN ON USING THE WATER TANK. I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH ALTHOUGH I MAY CHANGE MY MIND AFTER I'VE HAULED GALLONS OF WATER FOR A MONTH OR TWO.
I DEDICATED PART OF YESTERDAY TO TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY MY REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN ON THE SAFARI. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE UNLOCKED YOU CAN HEAR THE ELECTRONIC LOCK UNLOCKING IT AND THEN I CAN LOCK IT BACK WITH THE KEY AND UNLOCK IT WITH A KEY BUT THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT OPEN. I FINALLY DECIDED I WAS GOING TO FIGURE OUT WHY. WHAT I FOUND WAS THAT ONE OF THE SMALL METAL PINS THAT HOLDS THE ACTUAL OUTSIDE HANDLE ONTO THE PART OF THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY THAT FASTENS TO THE DOOR AND THROUGH THE DOOR THE IS BENT. THIS PEN HAS POPPED OUT ONCE BEFORE AND LUCKILY IT HAPPENED AT A STORAGE UNIT AND DID NOT CLEAR THE REAR BUMPER WHEN IT FELL. THE BUMPER HAS RIDGES AND VALLEYS IN IT TO HELP IT BE NON-SLIPPERY AND I ACTUALLY FOUND IT IN THERE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. IT WORKED FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SOME OF THE ELECTRONIC GLITCHES ARE BACK LIKE THE WHAT I CALL PARTY LIGHTS YOU HAVE TO PUSH A BUTTON ON THE DASH TO GET ALL THE UPPER 12 VOLT LIGHTS IN THE REAR OF THE VAN TO WORK. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO SO I'VE QUIT USING IT BECAUSE ONE TIME IT DIDN'T TURN OFF AND THE BATTERY DIED. I THOUGHT THE NOT UNLOCKING AND OPENING ISSUE WAS JUST ANOTHER ELECTRONIC GLITCH WHICH THIS THING HAS A BAJILLION OF THEM. SO I TOOK THE LITTLE CONNECTING ROD/PIN OUT WENT TO O'REILLY'S WITH IT AND THEN A YOUNG GUY LOOKED AT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THERE THAT I THOUGHT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK FOR A PEN WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE.
SO SINCE THE VAN IS HERE IN OZARK AND THIS IS WHERE MY MOM PURCHASED IT IN 1998 I'M GOING TO GO UP TOMORROW AND SEE WHAT THIS PART IS ACTUALLY CALLED AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO GET IT FROM GMC. I'M THINKING I WILL ALSO LOOK FOR A SHOP BECAUSE THE PIN IS ONLY SLIGHTLY BENT. SO I AM THINKING THAT SOMEONE WITH STRONGER HANDS THAN MINE AND A GOOD VISE WOULD BE ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. THAT SHOULDN'T COST MORE THAN A COUPLE OF BUCKS. I CAN PULL THE PIN OUT WITH A PAIR OF NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS AND THEN DROP IT BACK IN JUST USING MY FINGERS AT LEAST THAT'S WORK SO FAR.
I NEED TO GO FOR A WALMART RUN AS WE'RE OUT OF SWEET AND LOW AND VELVEETA CHEESE SLICES TWO OF THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS YOU KNOW.
I DID HAVE A LITTLE EXCITEMENT THIS AFTERNOON. QUEENIE AND I WERE ABOUT TO LAY DOWN FOR A AFTERNOON POWER NAP.
QUEENIE BUMPED THE BEDROOM DOOR OPEN FOLLOWED BY RATT DAWG HER BROTHER AND BRINGING UP THE REAR OF THE DOG TRAIN WAS SIRE....... THE VISITING PITBULL THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS HERE. SIRE LIKES TO PEE ON THINGS TO PUT HIS MARK ON ITEMS THAT HE THINKS MAY HAVE INVADED HIS TERRITORY. MAINLY ICE CHESTS OF WHICH I HAVE THREE HERE AND LARGE PLASTIC BAGS. HE IS A SWEET DOG AND THE ONE THAT SAVED RATT DAWG FROM GETTING KILLED IN THAT PIT BULL ATTACK EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND HE ALSO PROBABLY SAVED THE NEIGHBOR WHO HAD A SEVERELY BROKEN FINGER. HE WAS ALSO DAMAGED HIS EAR WAS NEARLY CHEWED OFF AND ONE OF HIS LEGS WAS TORN UP. HOWEVER DOG PEE IS STILL DOG PEE AND I DON'T NEED TO BE WASHING IT OFF OF MY BOLOGNESE. I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD ANY BOLOGNA EASY
. SINCE I CAN'T MAN HANDLE SIRE AS I DO QUEENIE AND HER BROTHER I RAN QUEENIE OFF AND THE BOYS FOLLOWED.
SOMETIMES IT IS SO COMICAL TO SEE RATT DAWG AND SIRE TOGETHER. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE RATT DAWG DECIDES TO BREED WITH SIRE. WHO AIN'T HAVING NONE OF IT. SIRE WILL GROWL DEEP DOWN IN HIS THROAT AND WALK AWAY FROM HIM. ONE OF US WILL YELL JUST LOOK AT THAT BIG SQUIRREL OUT IN THE YARD. AND AWAY THEY GO. ALL IS FORGIVEN FOR THE MOMENT.
I'M GOING TO STOP SHOPPING HERE IN OZARK AS DALE COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST DAILY DEATH RATE FROM COVID IN ALABAMA RECENTLY.
