Fueling

[Leroy Eckert]

Bob:
I didn't know anything about a referral fee. Good for a couple cold ones. We
have had good luck with Passport. We are planning to attend Rats also. Thanks

Thanks for the info Leroy. Seems like we saw a booklet
on Passport America at the Camping World on I-26, May
be wrong.

If we do decide to go that way, I see in rhe FAQ that
you can get a $10 referral for new members signed up,
so it would only be correct for you to get this.

We may scoot over to Maxton next week-end then to RATS
across from the Georgia State Fairgrounds in Perry, GA
if we can get the scooter scooting.

Polishing? Hard on the bones, seems like a great outlet
for hose "A" or hose "B". Had a big tennis ball come up
on my elbow the last time I polished, maybe motorized is oK?

> As members of Passport America we have a Flying J RV Real Value
Club card. The discount isn't huge, I think .02c per gallon but I'll
take anything I can get. We also get one half off in selected parks
overnight. Usually, 3 days max. Generally, no holiday weekends. It
all adds up. Annual fee is 44.00 -----less annually if you chose a 3
year subscription. I hope I have this correct, the wife handles the
details. You get a monthly rag with articles about RV's. We have
found that the annual fee is repaid on one or two weekends. We
choose nice parks with amenities and pay about 18.00 per night while
cruising around. Sometimes less. We are also members of FMCA but
generally only get 10% on that deal. However, I think you got stay
with FMCA.
> Without getting on a soap box, I generally stop at truck stops. I
ask for my receipt and put it in the box. That way identify theft is
more difficult. On one occasion the cashier called on my American
Express card and I had to talk to the company. That happened in
Georgia.
> Personally, I'm very comfortable around truckers because, in
general, those guys are busting their hump to deliver the goods to
us. Unfortunately, drugs are rampant is our world and it isn't gonna
stop until the demand stops. Supply interruption ain't work'n.
Don't know what to do about that.
