Good morning CT.
Another nice fall day out there. Cleaning the yard up today to get ready for winter. Fall and Winter my two favorite seasons.

Eyes have been glued to the TV with all the news out in Las Vegas. Kathy had wanted to go to the Country western get together but prices were steep and I am not good with the heat, so she passed.

Good morning John, that sure is a sad state of affairs in Las Vegas. I can't understand how anyone could do such a horrendous act..

Happy October guys. I have been quite busy. I imagine it'll stay that way for me at least through this month.

Headed down to campground and starting to bring back things for winter storage, flat top stove, smoker, glider, table and chairs, and out door rug. Will be closing the 5th wheel next week.

Who's got free time and air tools? Front leveling kit is a no go without air tools.

My stuff is all portable if you want although my portable compressor won't built much more than 100-110 lbs. What air tools do you need?

I just need a gun really. The lower control arm bolt is torqued to 250ft/lbs. I tried a lot of different things last night to get it to budge and nothing even came close.

As of now, I have an appointment for Monday to have it done at CT tire in Berlin, but it's just such an easy job to do. Frustrating to not be able to do it because of lack of tools. I'd rather them just do the alignment, especially because he was hesitant of them doing the install.
