Since all of my ideas and cleverness is stolen from the web or print I confess I first saw this line in a Dilbert comic many, many years ago.

True story, one of my loader operators came in with the volume of the radio blasting in my truck. When I asked him why, he said the engine was making too much noise. I listened to all the rods knocking and asked why he didn't put some oil in the engine as he was carrying 3 jerry cans full of series 3 30wt in the back of the truck. His answer was he was in a hurry to get back so he could go home. Had to rebuild the engine. No I didn't fire him then as I had the loader out on rental and 977 operators were scarce then. However he was one of the first I let go when work slowed down.

Rv humour, that person who buys a motorhome thinking it will be cheap to stay in parks because you have everything onboard.

That first time they pull into an open field (or onto the beach) with highway tires and don't make it to the spot they picked.

And who can leave out that first time they dump the sewer system.

Went to rv storage facility to take our new to us rv home 12 years ago. Left the dingy in the storage spot, wife honked the horn and said I'm hungry, let's go eat. I said ok I'll go put the rv back. She says no, just pull over here on this grassy area. I told here I did not think so, she said she just saw a truck drive thru there. .... and so, still in the storage area, I did..... I only pulled the front axle on to the grass slowly, it sank to the frame.... 12,000 lb front axle at max carrying capacity onto wet soil. Made a phone call.....operator said "are you parked in a safe place?"

RVs have women's names, same as boats. Fickle and expensive. Please humor me again cause I'm a slow learner. Race vehicles the same. no matter how you position your body the antifreeze and other nasty fluids will find you. Kinda like the smoke at a campfire. Got baptized by the sewer hose 40 years ago. Happiest days in a SOB coach owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it, I'm guessing there going have to pry this one from my dead hands. Cause it's flawless HaHa.

RVs have women's names...

Not all of them. We named our coach "Coach", after the character named Coach, in the TV series titled "Coach".

Sounds familiar. Had our first night in new to us U270. Parked at home. If anything goes wrong we're safe here. Gentle rain overnight and swaying of the coach in the wind. Feels like we're on a sailboat. How romantic. Sunny and warm next day, lets take her out and get some seat time driving around town. Pre-flight all good lets go! Backing out 8 feet, we sink into 3 inches of clay mud. It's deep enough to make this our shortest trip ever. Tow operator asks the same question, "are you parked in a safe place?" I certainly believe so because we're stuck at home. Tow operator, "so tell me again, why did you call us?"

Plenty of RV humor if you have the DVD, RV with Robin Williams. I watch it at least once a year.

The first fill up for "Falcor" (not a women's name, just a never ending story...) was at a truck stop. Went out, put nozzle in tank, lifted the start......nothing. Went back inside, told them to please start #--. Back outside, lifted the lever, nothing. Back inside, asked again, back outside, lifted lever, nothing. Trucker behind me was already tired of the "newbie" routine and showed me the "master" to the "slave" pump I was trying. DOH!

The first time I fueled-up, I thought I could use the bigger nozzle at the truck bay. It fit in, fueled quick. One problem; I could NOT get the nozzle out! I felt like the Rube I was, pulling and twisting, with trucks waiting behind me. Finally got it free, but never took the chance again!

One of our F 4 pilots came back from a run in Viet Nam and on the post flight sheet he wrote, there is a noise in the port wing that sounds like there is a little man with a hammer pounding on the inside of the wing, the problem was found and repaired, however the maintenance report came back to say that the problem was fixed. " we took the hammer away from the little man".

BTDT Same story for my first fill up. I felt so dumb, but that is not an unusual feeling, especially when it comes to the FT learning curve.

Being a newbie can someone explain the master slave routine to maybe/probably save the embarrassment. I haven't fueled at a TS yet

At truck stops, the pump on the driver's side is the master pump, the pump on the passenger side is the slave. In order to use the slave pump, you have to go to the master pump, remove the nozzle, and lift the lever. Then go to the slave, put the nozzle in the tank, lift the lever, and it works. This is only an issue for those of us with the passenger side only fill. Some lucky FT owners have fill on both sides.
