Today we dropped off the truck for tire replacement. Our tread depth was just a sliver more than the legal minimum 2/32” tread depth, so we figured it was time:
The original highway tires were replaced with a BFG KO2 all-terrain tire. Hopefully this will allow us to access more remote dispersed camping locations with confidence:
Tonight I put back the original leaf spring on the RV. I got a bit dirty in the process:
The last days of Passover were very pleasant. We especially enjoyed having lunch with friends both days. We moved from my Parents’ synagogue to my Parents’ house this morning.
Today I tried to complete a few repair and maintenance items. I first checked the brakes, since they are squeaking. Looks like there’s still a good bit of brake pad left:
I also added a couple coats of clear coat to the bathroom door I stained before Passover:
Tonight I tried to install heavier duty leaf springs on the RV, but it turns out the U-bolt kits that shipped with the springs are the wrong size, so I’ll have to give the vendor a call to get the right side. I’ll have to put back the original leaf spring tomorrow.
This morning I took off on flight #47:
Aloft, it was quite bumpy, so I landed pretty quickly. A couple hours later, the wind unexpectedly intensified, bringing massive dust devils to the lake bed:
Trish made more Pesach-compatible treats:
This afternoon, we relocated to my Parents’ synagogue parking lot, where we’ll be for the last two days of Passover. The blog will return on Sunday.
I got in a quick bike ride this afternoon:
Happy Passover and good Shabbos from Las Vegas:
We had another relaxing day on Jean Lake. Trish put together a great breakfast:
Sunset as usual was wonderful. The winds finally dies down before sunset. Hopefully I can fly tomorrow:
This morning Trish made “waffles” by frying Passover sponge cake in egg. Try not to think about it too much:
Today’s Chol Hamoed project was learning about rocketry and building model rockets:
Before dinner, the kids and I went for a bike ride on the lake. B flipped over an abandoned motorcycle component and found a camel spider. It was a little over an inch long:
After almost two weeks in Las Vegas, we’re really enjoying our new back yard:
