Safety Check-In
We arrived back into Las Vegas on Friday morning. We were not at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, and we are both safe.

Welcoming our Model X P100D
On July 27th, we took delivery of our new 2017 Tesla Model X P100D! However, we’ve only really had it for our daily driving for about 4 days.. and no, it wasn’t having repairs done. 🙂 (more…)

e-Bikes, get em while they’re hot!
SOLD…
Last December, we bought two premium electric bikes with the idea that we’d use them to slowly get back into biking since you can pedal with various levels of electric motor assist, or use the twist throttle when you’re tired of pedaling and just need to get home. 🙂
We have, however, rarely used them. Thus we are putting them up for sale in hopes someone else can make use of them at a drastic discount over the new retail cost.
Which e-Bikes you ask? Only the top of the line and both with several upgrades!

iRV2 – Banned forever
As a tech nut, operator of a few forums, and moderator of a few others, I’m no stranger to the potential headaches of managing a forum and keeping things civil and helpful. I also recognize and commiserate on the desire to protect members from spammers and scammers or those just there for commercial profit. There is, however, a bit of logic that should be kept in mind when maintaining these communities. iRV2 appears to not subscribe to this logic.
Today, friend, fellow RVer, and geek David Bott was banned from iRV2 until January because someone asked him for where to find a video he’d created on the topic of better RV Wi-Fi, and he posted a direct link to it on his blog. Like most bloggers, David does have a small Amazon search on his site and uses affiliate links when he’s talking about a specific product. In the eyes of iRV2, this made his site ‘commercial’ and they banned him for the link.

PANCAKES!!
We have been on a low-carb high-fat lifestyle for some time now. We have found mock up recipes and replacements for carby food favorites. I had all but given up on pancakes. On a whim, I picked up a package Read more…

Tire Pressure: Great to see it, but what should it be set to?
A couple months back, we posted about how a TPMS saved our bacon (link to that post). A TPMS is great, but what should your tires be inflated to? This is a question that many new RV’ers have because, in their regular drive around town car, they just inflate to the pressure listed on the door post of your car (you do.. right?).
The right answer for RV’s is a bit more complicated.
Warning: Lots of words ahead!
