The truck and camping

The big event for the day is getting my Dodge truck serviced.  In addition to the normal servicing, the transmission fluid, rear differential fluid and the fuel filter were also serviced at 31000 miles ($380).  Since this is my first diesel, I am trying to be more on the preventative side on servicing hoping that I can avoid the bigger problems as I am keeping this rig much longer than I used to.  They also took a look at the A/C as it was occasionally reducing the air flow from the dash vents w/o cause on my part.  They said they couldn’t see a problem but it was a ½ pound low on refrigerant and they put some dye in it so they will be able to more easily spot leaks if the problem continues.

I may take off camping over at the Metolius this Sunday for a few days.  The weather is supposed to be cooler and I haven’t camped or fished at all during this hot weather.  I really have missed communing with nature.
