I bought two new tires for the RV yesterday. Got them home and installed on the front. Then moved the newer of the front one to the read and did a shift right with carry to the spare. That gave all the rear tires a directional flip and will wear the spare along with the other rear ones when it goes back on the road on next rotate.
Margaret turned on the A/C for the first time today. I didn't think we needed it, but she was cooking.

RV repair and maintenance
Sunday, May 03, 2009
Margaret was in FL for a week to photograph birds with young, and to visit here sister, got home on Thursday.
I managed to get a few things done, and some not to the point of completion. Got the oil change in all three vehicles, and anti freeze changed in the RV.
Coming home from the last trip, we found a couple of knots on one of the front tires, took it BigO last week, and they said it was because I had not rotated them! I don't believe it, waiting for the owner to come back and deal with him. If he doesn't give me a good deal on a new tire, I will go across the street.
I finally got motivated to change the spark plugs, using a new torque wrench I bought at Harbor Freight while on the last trip. I also put on eight new COPs and boots, (left two old ones on) Can't do a test drive until tire is replaced. Don't what to try next if engine still misfires!
The vegetation is finally starting to show up around the house, been a very late spring. The weeds are doing very well, thank you! I as trying to start a few of the plants from cuttings and seed. Will see how they come out. Doing Apache Plum from cutting, and Red Yucca, Meribilles from seed.
With warmer weather, I have been outside a lot more.
