Browsed the site today and discovered the BCM site is offering free online magazine viewing thru March.

I stumbled across the forum today and was surprised I hadn't seen it before. I have owned our coach for a few years and we really enjoy the luxuries it affords us. I drove a truck for a living prior to retiring here in the Ozarks so it was an easy task getting used to getting around the winding roads here. One thing in our favor is that we are minutes away from one of the most popular campgrounds in Arkansas. The Bull Shoals/White River Campground.

1. Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 

Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. 


2. To the optimist, the glass is half-full. 
To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. 
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. 

3. A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!" 
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!" 
The priest said, "Here comes the green-keeper. Let's have a word with him." 
He said, "Hello George, what's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?" 
The green-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." 
The group fell silent for a moment. 
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." 
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them." 
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?" 

4. What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers? 
Mechanical engineers build weapons. Civil engineers build targets. 

5. The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?" 
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" 
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" 
The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?" 

6. Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed the human body. 
One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." 
Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." 
The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?" 

7. Knock knock. Who's there? Interrupting coefficient of friction. Interrupting coefficient of fri.... mmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (μ)

8. Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" 
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." 
The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway." 


9. An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. 
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want." 
Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. 
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" 
The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

10. A wife asks her husband, a software engineer...
"Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6!" A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the heck did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

Torque App and Widgets Review and Demo

This is a twelve minute tutorial, but the guy goes through customization of the Torque app; it is well worth the time to watch all of it.  This demo shows how to customize Torque’s gauge layout.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRl3m2UmkM4 

The author of that tutorial calls himself Hollywood Frodo.  Here is a link to a page on his web-site that shows many of the compound tasks he assembles with the Tasker app (he mentions it at the end the Torque demo video):  http://www.hollywoodfrodo.com/tasker-tut...eries.html  

If you're thinking about updating your dash instrumentation, this will open up a lot of possibilities:  http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/06/sharp...le-lot-mo/

        Hi All,

It's dark here and can't post photos until tomorrow, but this little 1/2 hp California Tools compressor is quieter, faster fill time, shorter run time and 4db quieter. Of course, the feet didn't line up , but drilled new holes in a mounting plate and had to pig tail the wires that were too short, but other than that in an hour I was pumping air for the first time in  awhile. I will keep you posted if any problems in the future, but don't expect any. This compressor also weighs 5 lbs more than the Thomas making it vibrate less.Photos to follow

Last night we rebuild the mac valve and Bode Cylinder with the gasket kit from Newell. after adjusting the MAC valve (THANK YOU NEWELL GURU SITE) we discovered that the buttons on the outside didn't work, then after a couple of more try's neither would work, So we took off the black control panel by the kitchen sink and discovered a black wire on a white control box was loose. It was 1am when we quit and have no clue where it goes, we tried a couple of different places that seemed logical but it wasn't.  HELP we need to leave Friday and I cant trigger the door. Does any one have or as made a schematic for the way newell wires the circuitry or send me a pic of where that lead goes. it is marked grd so I trying to find a ground spot.

Thanks in advance

Murray
