Cathy shared this …
***EASY EYEGLASS PROTECTION... to prevent the screws in glasses coming loose, apply a small drop of Clear Nail Polish to threads of the screws before tightening them.
***SMART SPLINTER REMOVER: Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

TIPS FOR PROPANE USE FROM THE SAFETY AUTHORITY AND MOTOR VEHICLE SALS AUTHORITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. Details Here and Here.

This report arrived in my inbox this week – RVers are getting ready to travel so the info bears repeating. About 4 times per week I hear about another RV Fire – do not be the next victim. Below is an edited version of the first four (of ten) tips….

Over 800,000 RVs travel the roads in Canada - that means there is an increased need for RV safety. Propane is used in furnaces, fridges, water heaters, barbecues and stoves, etc. Although propane is a combustible, when handled in a safe manner it is not dangerous.

• Propane equipment should be checked and maintained by a certified technician at least once every two years. The technician will confirm a safety inspection has been completed and the necessary repairs have been made.
• Know the smell. If you detect the rotten egg odour of propane, get everyone out of the vehicle and close the supply valve.
• Circulate air. Open a vent or window and turn on the range hood fan when using a propane stove or oven. This will remove moisture and combustion products that may contain carbon monoxide.
• Cook, don't heat. Never use stove burners or the oven for space heating. Never cook while your RV is moving.

PROMOS OF THIS WEEK

I keep talking about the MILITARY AND RCMP CLAWBACK and how we need everyone – ex-serving members or not – to please sign the Petition. Georgina shared … this story in the Toronto Sun is a good explanation of the entire situation. It seems like an uphill fight but it does continue. Sign the petition Here.

NOT REALLY A PROMO - MISERY SOMETIMES FEELS BETTER IF SHARED.

Bill sent this from California – This week regular Gas was $4.059 /gal – Plus was $4.18/Supreme $4.28. – Diesel # 2 was $4.559. All credit added $.05 more. Increase prices are expected this coming week.

FYI In Canada – Since Gas prices are going up here too – $1.25 per litre translates as $4.48 per US gallon using this Formula ($1.25 x 3.7 ltrs x.97 exch). Exchange and per/ltr price vary with each day - but this gives you an idea what we are pay north of the border. It may ease the pain of prices in your area.

Bill B received this email from a friend in England. Gas is 111.1 pence p/litre – about $2.45/ltr Cdn. Diesel is 121.9 pence p/litre, or $2.67/ltr Cdn. Even makes Canada look cheap.

IT IS NICE TO KNOW THAT MOST OF US ARE NOT GIVING UP OUR DREAM – Many of are offloading extras in our units and driving slower - but we are still enjoying ‘Life On The Move’. Take care everyone till later, travel safe. P&J
