Never run out of propane again!
If you have 2 propane tanks this simple process can help to ensure you never run out of propane again! Probably best to just start with 2 filled tanks. Use only 1 tank at a time. Say you start with the one on the left. You could mark them somehow to keep track if that helps you. As soon as that tank empties you of course switch to the right or another tank to use. Go fill up the empty left tank, but do not use it until the right tank you are using becomes empty. Then switch back to the left tank you filled and go right away and fill the empty.
Don’t forget to bleed the lines of air after switching tanks by running your propane stove top burners.

We needed a little more room for all the tools of Jims’ trade. So the hunt has been on for a while. He finally found an auction and managed to be the high bidder winning this bus. So now the work to make it into a mobile shop and get it all tagged up with his information. And after almost 3 years we have an extra vehicle giving us some freedom to roam while he is working.
I am getting lots of practice making vinyl decals. Still working on building that business for me. Mostly on my Facebook page at ShuttAdventuresEmporium
Getting prepped for a new slide topper.
Today I installed a new Solera slide topper on a Class A. A little prep was needed to remove the old bracket and prepare the slide before installing the new one.
Installing new brackets.
Sealant is applied behind brackets and in all holes that were needed. Don’t want any leaks later.
Sliding in the fabric.
Getting the awning centered.
All done!

So I read I could ‘bake’ an entire cake, icing and all in the microwave in 9 minutes!
Sounded too good to be true, but in my research I found several people attesting it could be done. Some claiming it must be done in a silicon bundt pan. Others talked about using old crocks from old crock pots. I had neither and finding a silicon pan was easier to find.
So you get a cake mix of choice and follow the directions on the back. Put the mix in the bundt pan and spoon the can of icing right in the batter. Put it in the microwave for 9 minutes.
At first it seemed to work. Until I flipped it over. The melted runny icing flowed over everything. However so did some of the uncooked cake batter. Oops! I got it back in the pan and cooked 3 more minutes. And it was done! A whole cake with icing cooked in the microwave!
It was not pretty. But it was yummy! I’ve decided either my microwave just wasn’t powerful enough and I need to cook it longer next time. Also maybe not add the whole can of icing.
We used an orange cake mix and dark chocolate icing. For us although it was good it was a bit rich. And we weren’t fans of the orange cake. But overall it was a fun and quick new way to have cake. We are excited to try it again soon.
This was some really tasty alfredo sauce. And so quick and easy.
In a small saucepan melt the butter and add the garlic powder on medium heat.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until all is blended.
Turn down the heat.
Add the cheese and continue to stir until it is a nice creamy consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
Add sauce to your favorite noodles. Try adding some grilled chicken or shrimp for a meal with a bit more protein.
I am still struggling with this site. I just can’t seem to get the hang of it. I need good wifi for it to work at all, which at times has been a struggle. And I just can’t seem to figure some things out, I’ve destroyed the page several times thinking I was making a little change. I guess I should try to watch some Youtube videos on it or something. As you see on the front page there is a menu link at the very top, I can’t do a thing with it. I can’t delete it, make it actually work as a menu or even make it look invisible.
I did today manage to get a few things on it done. And while it made Jim’s business page the main page and I can’t figure that one out I do like the look of it. Although I would like those links to our facebooks and youtube to be on the side and not the footer. I can also add products to the page for sales and digital products for download too. I just need to secure the link first. Gotta follow the directions through getting an SSL for free. I am all about Free.
As far as our Adventuring goes it is good. But RV life is very time-consuming in the little details. Just staying feed and clothed in clean clothes takes lots of time. We just were getting into a groove of travel and exploring/working and now we have to figure it all out again. Jim is now an authorized installer for RV Armor, so we go when and where that work is too. It adds a little excitement and some funds to the mix.
We wanted a vacuum for the RV. And this thing is awesome! It’s cordless and works well for our small space with all the cool attachments you can get for it. It breaks down nice and small and takes up little space under our dinette. A use we didn’t consider when we got it was bug catcher! Camping can be a buggy experience. But we don’t have to worry about bugs filling up the RV when we come in and out in a buggy place. We also don’t have to try and swat or squish them leaving a yucky mess all over the walls and ceiling.
I also use it with my hose attachment for the clippers when I cut Jims’ hair. 🙂
I am having a lot of fun with this Silhouette Cameo 3! I made some cool and useful projects with it!
I have not used all that this bundle includes yet. I don’t really have the iron it would take to make some nice shirts. And honestly just haven’t had the time to delve into the other aspects of it. So far I have only done the cutting of regular vinyl. I made a cool please rescue our dogs’ sign for the RV door in red. Our dogs’ names and our phone numbers are also below what is pictured.
I have cut a stencil but have not tried to use it yet. I did not care for the sound of the cutter during the process. It sounded very slow and grinding. I was afraid the machine wouldn’t work after that. But it has been good. I cut a stencil for birds on branches and I plan to stencil that on my screen door of the RV. I will post a picture when it is done.
I have used these tools and like them and the case. I would have preferred a zipper closure instead of the velcro. But it fits the machine well and has a spot for the cords.
I will post more pictures on facebook once I get them on the truck and RV. The weather just hasn’t been good for that lately and we need a clean surface to put them on.
I don’t care for this transfer tape. I thought it would be very see through. It is kind of like a transparent paper tape. I will use it and I like the grid, but I will some something more clear next time.
Following the links will give me a small kickback but will cost you no more to shop.
