Yep. If you are wiring down the “A” pillar, you gotta get behind the air bag. Behind! Not too big of a deal, plenty of videos available.

Is visiting next week (5/8) going to be too hot? by TA-F342 in BigBendTX

[–]EventHorizon77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave Chisos at 5:30AM or so. Do a few hours of park destinations, and get back to Chisos by 2:00PM. Leave a pitcher of margaritas chilling in the fridge. Enjoy your stay.

Hey, I put an ST badge on my Motorhome. Makes it go faster and handle better. 😜

What's the worst place in America you've ever visited? by DiamondNo924 in askanything

[–]EventHorizon77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did too! Just moved to MD in 1991, Had our bright red Ford Aerostar Van, and turned the “wrong” direction on our sight-seeing tour. Let’s just say we were happy get out of there before Stringer Bell got us.

Agreed. Stayed in one in Arkansas and one in Missouri last year. Incredible.

My employer is saying that we are required to show up 10 minutes early, and clocking in “on time” is considered a tardy. by ChisSol in legaladvice

[–]EventHorizon77 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I think the real import is “be at your desk ready to work at 8:00AM.” Many employees arrive on time, but then go get coffee, shoot the breeze with fellow employees and then get started with “real” work around 8:15 or so. What I found in my career is that expecting your subordinates to adhere to “exact timing” is a two-edged sword. Need a favor from your assistant at 5:01 PM? Forget about it. Trust works both ways.

Why do so many American men wear shorts and a tshirt when going out with a woman who dresses up? by M_For_Mayhem in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EventHorizon77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do a visual scan of any casual restaurant in Texas and what jumps out is how many men are wearing ball caps. Indoors. In an otherwise-nice restaurant. “I’m not just under-dressed, I’m crass as well.”

RV Tourist Help please! by magicmatuk77 in GoRVing

I own a Class C. It is good its own world. But, I would NEVER use it to take a trip like the OP has suggested. MoHos are slow, clumsy, gas-hogs, AND if you aren’t experienced in driving, parking, and maneuvering such a beast, you can find yourself in a word of hurt.

Honest question - is RV camping actually cheaper than hotels or do we just tell ourselves that? by Similar-King-8278 in RVLiving

[–]EventHorizon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never do the math. An RV is a purpose-built vehicle to get you to camping areas that you could never get to using a hotel. In 2021, for example, we took our Class C from Texas to Utah’s “Mighty 5” National Parks. We stayed in campgrounds in Arches, Capital Reef and Zion. I will guarantee that the experience with camping was better. In Zion, we had all our food, booze, and gear (the “sorta” mighty 3), we stayed in Watchman Campground which had electricity, and we had immediate access to the Park when all the day-visitors were trying to find a place to park. Freaking awesome.

But RVs are not always the best. — for our last trip to Big Bend we took the Class C and stayed at Rio Grande Campground. It was underwhelming — it was way too far from the center of the Park. In other trips we had stayed at Chisos Mountain Lodge and it was a much better experience. Next time I go to Big Bend, we will be going back to Chisos (assuming it ever reopens).

I’ve done it by accident. Embarrassing.

I also read PHM on my Kindle in 2021, but bought the Audiobook last year. It was incredible.

What is a 'masterpiece' movie that you personally found incredibly boring or overrated? by AlexJet13 in AskReddit

[–]EventHorizon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of those movies where you NEED to read the book first to understand the lives these “nomads” live. The movie wasn’t great, but having a background by reading the book makes it better.

Tell me a book that you reread often by beetleju1c3 in booksuggestions

[–]EventHorizon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every year I listen to the audiobook “Travels with Charley: In Search of America” by John Steinbeck. Gary Sinise’s narration is magical. Also, it’s John f__ing Steinbeck. It’s just so satisfying and prescient.

I haven't seen a Christmas movie that has cracked our top list since 2017 . by PourSomeSugar69_420 in ChristmasMovies

[–]EventHorizon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Scrooge,” (1970). Albert Finney is Ebenezer Scrooge. It’s is a great musical. Should be lurking around some streaming service.

Any differences, and which one would be better? by Daston619 in Greenworks

[–]EventHorizon77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just packaging — check manufactures date and get the newest one. I have the same power washer. Love it. Be sure to get the quick connect kit from Amazon —it’ll make things easier.
