Boondocking with jimmini

[jimmini]

Here we go again about tires.Has anyone had Hercules Power STR tires?Not much info on the internet about them.
After blowingout 2 rear Tow Master tires one on the rt and one on the LT in just over 100 miles.I bought a set.The dealers think a lot of them but that may be because of profit margen.
The damage to the trailer was so bad the insurance would total the trailer so we are and have been doing the repairs.
YES pressure was good in them and I never tow over 60 MPH.

Hi Jimmy;

Sorry to read about your damage. No advice on tires as we haven't bought any. I believe we are running on Yokohama truck tires.

Keep us posted as to your repairs.

All the best

On the way up here we stopped for a few day at the Cholla CG at Roosevelt Lake.It is nice there this time of year.Here right now it is in the 30s F at night and upper 60s in the day time.

Hi Jim; I don't know if you remembers us, Dorothy and I were at Quartzsite for Thanksgiving 2009. Richard & Jan deep fried a bird. Anyway, we are taking our AS to the Tucson dealer for some work. When finished we plan on heading your way up on the rim. I put the coordinates in my GPS, we shouldn't have a problem finding you. See you in about a week to ten days.

1. Jim, Dorothy and Min 2. On his way to collect $$$ 3. Dinner time
We had a nice visit with Jim & Min. It's a beautiful area with cool temps, nice break from the 100+ degrees lately.

[jimmini]

Well it has been a nice cool 5+ months hosting at the Rim CG.We will close it the night of 12 Oct and be off to a new spot on the 13th.
Right now it looks like we will go to Roosevelt Lake AZ till about the 20th then head for the 4 CU rally at Pancho Villa State Park NM that start 23rd Oct via nights at Apache Gold Casino RV park and Roper State Park.

I have to tell you that I don't plan on retiring to a rocking chair. A man wasn't meant to do nothing,even if he can afford to. Lay about long enough,your mind decides your life is over,and you die.I don't intend for that to happen to me.

[xrvr]

You right, man.!

[jimmini]

Well we have spent the last week at Roosevelt Lake at the Windy Hill CG.Has been nice ,we even got some rain.
We are on our way to the 4CU rally this week end at Pancho Villa state park in Columbus NM.
Tomorrow we will stay at the Apache Gold Casino and see if we can win BIG $$$ to pay for the trip:
Then on to Roper State Park AZ for Wen.night,then to the rally on Thu.

[jimmini]

Home now, and one year older.Just came from the 4CU rally at Pancho Villa State Park in Columbus NM. Time now to clean trailer for storage while I get a new hip.
Then with a lot of luck on the road again. If not it may be time to sell the trailer and hit the old rocking chair.My mind still wants to stay on the road BUT the old body has trouble keeping up with my wants.

[ScrapIrony-2]

You set in the rocker and I'll drag yer butt all over town in a little red wagon painted silver...and because I'm a nice guy, I'll run ya through the car wash once a week, whether or not ya need it...

Now let's not forget what you wrote above. I like those words and plan to live by them. Ok to go home and rest for a while... so you can get ready for the next road trip.

My pain DR gave me some pain shots Tue in my knees sure feel better now,BUT still have a hip to replace.
Got inside of trailer all cleaned up and ready to go,BUT I still have to repair the rt side on the bottom where I had a tire blow out. Then I will be ready to go after I get my hip done.
