Got this digital thermometer for our Omnia. So far it’s worked great when Joy made a chicken pot pie to check everything out. Here’s the link: Thermometer for Omnia Stove Top Oven - Thermometer for Omnia Stove Top Oven or other ovens (boat or RV), use with Force 10 oven, barbeque or grills

Just back from Bears Ears & Natural Bridges National Monument (NBNM) of SE Utah. Great hikes to petroglyphs, natural bridges, kivas, etc. Lotsa good dispersed campsites, but snagged a great campsite at the NBNM for $7 per night! However, on the way back home near Denver slipped and slided over...

I agree Sweeney, seems like before every trip I'm adjusting the brakes either one click up or down (my woman says I'm just anal, heh-heh.) Finger tight on the bearings after I've tightened them to 30-to-40 foot-pounds with a torque wrench. Here's a vid you may like: Regards, T

Yeah, my right (passenger side) brake was making a funny noise, got a flashlight, looked inside the adjustment hole, and saw hanging springs! Yup, after 10 years Vuggie needed new brake assemblies. New Right brake on left, old one with no brake pads! When I took off the hub, broken springs...

Yesterday Black Morels sprouting all over the Sangre de Christo mountains of Colorado. A nice addition to Jamie's McBiscuit recipe! Also here's Joy's drop biscuit recipe (instead of store bought) for 8" DO: 1-cup flour 1-T Baking Powder 1/2-T sugar 1/2-t salt 2-1/2-T cut in butter 9-T milk Mix...

Interesting stove assembly on #1, Cary. Glad you guys modified that configuration! Regards, T

Happy New Year 2017 to our favorite Staten Island people. Hope you're still enjoying the Casita, and got a mattress like the one you had in your old 550. Hugs, T & Joy

This January we bought a used 2008 Camp Inn with AC but no furnace. We mostly camp in Colorado above 8000 feet, and have never needed the AC. We bought the 12-volt mattress pad (used under a down comforter) and a 1200-watt Crane Model EE-6490 ceramic heater and were toasty warm at -2-degrees F...

1) Nah, Gina, we're amateurs and are most familiar with the local shrooms. If interested, tag along with a local & knowledgable shroomer or even better check out the local mycological society--there's at least one in almost every state and province/territory. Myco-societies are often full of fun...

MATSUTAKE TIME above 8500-feet!!! It's Joy's favorite 'shroom, and she gets so excited when looking for "humps" in the duff at the base of Ponderosa Pines--White Matsu's (Tricholoma magnivelare, aka Mutsutake) in Colorado are like truffles in that they often do NOT break the ground surface...

Re: Grand Marias Municipal Campground,Minnesota Great review Jean! Superior must be nice in August, but the EF song warns of the winds of November. Regards, T & Joy

Ah, Terry & Julie, we appreciate your sweet comments. Yeah, Nederland is an old tungsten mining town, and we sometimes find chanterelles growing at the bottom of nearby old prospect pits; and yup, the surrounding Jeep roads can be a bit daunting in our Rabbit. BTW the next time you're back here...

Yippee!!! Rocky Mountain King Boletes are sprouting at about 10000 feet! But first a picture of Vuggie and the VW Rabbit at the Brainard Lake Picnic Area: Note the pale Rainbow! The mountain to the right is the glaciated Mt. Audubon (13,223')--an Eocene-Paleocene grano-syenite intrusion...

Hall Valley Campground in Pike National Forest is one of our favorites during August as very tasty shrooms can be found nearby. Hall Valley is an easy 1.3-hour drive from Denver, and we enjoy the scenery and geology of the place too. Joy and our dog Campbell always find Aspen Boletes...

The PRINCES (Agaricus augustus) are out!! This week while at Hall Valley we found a few, but never enough: Campbell (our Westie) and T pose with three Princes on a slope at about 8100' elevation. It's our favorite Agaricus. Here's the best one, note the large cap with brown...

Great photos from J-Cubed (i.e., Jamie, Jim, & Jerry)! And such a photogenic bunch too. Looks like a grand time by all. Thanx for hosting and posting. Best Regards, T & Joy
