So today, I drilled a hole through the wheel well of my RV, so that I could run a propane hose from an outside tank into my rig, and connect it to a portable heater. The wheel well is aluminum. I lined the hole with a rubber grommet. I considered @MightyBigCar 's advice to just open a window screen slightly to let the hose out, but doing this use up a lot of hose length in going up the window and down the other side. The set up I did here gives more use of hose length.

My bike's rather dirty. But then again, I'm not trying to impress anybody. #motorcycle #hondast1300 #digitalnomad #webdev https://octodon.social/media/5gHBV5O8fN_cgrosppM

OK, so I just got my new Dell XPS 15 laptop, and in the middle of installing Windows update, I hit my 15 gb limit. Now, shit is downloading at a crawl. https://octodon.social/media/r5ySlJuMSrvq-dDnwjg
Was able to get some peace and quiet this afternoon in the desert after a week of coding. #webdev #digitalnomad https://octodon.social/media/KbUwEwQAFo2X566KlSc
Found a bunch of these still sitting on shelves at Bevmo in El Centro. Don't craft beer aficionados in the Imperial Valley know how awesome this stuff is? #beer #craftbeer #gooseisland #bourboncountystout https://octodon.social/media/dHhthce4vU334mP3IZ4
Its the reason for the season! https://octodon.social/media/Ypb_GiK9gymYoSpTca8
This is my home, a 28 foot toy hauler with pickup truck and two motorcycles. It's parked on BLM land about 7 miles east of Holtville, CA. I get awesome Verizon 4G coverage, and am able to do all my website development work. I can sit here for about 3 weeks until my black tank fills up, and then I pull the trailer into town to dump and refill with fresh water. I have a gas generator for electricity, and propane heater and cook top. https://octodon.social/media/E3Kxap9OSJEvKm-Zz3s
An American style Belgian strong ale, fermented with ginger and mango. Named "3 Strikes", at Prison Hill Brewing Co., Yuma, AZ. It's absolutely wonderful. #beer #craftbeer #digitalnomad #webdev https://octodon.social/media/Ptl-5Bk8Uqv4GMZ_uzg
When in Wichita, do as the witches do. Eat barbecue. (Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q, Whichita, KS).
On a serious note, these two guys belly up to the bar here in Wichita, KS, where I ended up tonight, and the guy on the right leans forward and squints his eyes and asks, "What's a Samuel Adams?" Ok, so maybe he's just joking I figured. But then the bartender, a sweet young gal answered, "Its like an IPA". Just before I was about to spit out my beer in disbelief, he makes a confused face and says, "I tell you what, I'll just get the Lite." San Diego this is definitely not. #beer #bars
Easter. Because everyone deserves a reset button... (4th Ave, Tucson, AZ)
Last night I hooked up with Wallace Roberts (right), a fellow developer who lives in Casa Grande. I happened to be in Tucson the rest of this week, so we met half-way at a taco shop in Marana called, "Nico's". Wallace is a good guy, great sense of humor. That's his wife in the background. He rides a Yamaha FZ-07, while his wife rids a FZ-09. I'm without bike right now because I'm on my way to buy a toy hauler in Indiana. https://octodon.social/media/sDg7Mn3G0V8-eC1YrV8
Just bought this Neiko 3/4 inch 300 ft lb torque wrench off of Amazon, after discovering that brick-n-mortar stores don't typically carry torque wrenches above 250 ft lbs, and a couple of bolts on my weight distribution hitch requires 260 ft lbs. Pretty much an online-only item. https://octodon.social/media/fhkljad_hu5JVRlOIwE
When traveling outside of California, one must start the day at Waffle House. #WebDev #Breakfast #wafflehouse
Barrio Brewing is one of favorite hangouts while visiting Tucson. Good beer, good food, and lively vibe in the older section of town. This Copperhead Pale Ale has a nice balance of hops and malt, good on a hot day.
Having a Habanero White IPA from Address Brewing at 1702 Pizza & Beer in Tucson, AZ. Good Habanero flavor, but only a light bit of heat. #Beer #CraftBeer #WebDev
