Can we all get reacquainted with each other.

I'm basically the same as ever, but older, with 2 new Mexipups & now living in a slide-in camper in the mountains. Living remotely & keeping up my vaccinations meant covid was a non-issue, though my friend Joni wasn't so lucky & came down with long-covid.

Hi.

Alternative lubricants for a ZF manual gearbox?

I added a bit of moly w oil (it's suspended in the oil) & it seems a bit quieter. 4th gear is a bit noisy & I'll remove some ATF & add more moly/oil. It's sooo nice to be driving a REAL truck again! Right now I'm busy rebuilding a 9.5' slide-in camper I picked up. Gotta have everything done by April 20. That means bone tired & starting the day tired from meds. Oh well, it should build character.. or sumthin.

WTF? Who's the moron that labeled my post NSFW? Does someone have a transmission ******fetish? edit: Looks like the problem has been corrected or.. the mysterious DEEP STATE fetishist is covering their tracks.

How is your New Year going so far?

Holy ****shit, that's wonderful! Thank you for the reminder of Mexican dental care, sincerely. It's neat having your nest on the road. There's nothing like making your own space, nesting and enjoying living life. Bon voyage! Have you been before (maybe when recusing said pups)?

I got my 1st pup, Miel, on the last flight before they shut down for covid & my 2nd pup, Tato, on 1 of the first flights when they opened up again. I adopted them from The Sula Society in Puerto Vallarta & I'd like to visit them next year to show how well the pups have been doing & to bring a bunch of leashes, blankets, dog bowls etc for the rescue. I've only been in Mexico just across the border from Yuma a couple of decades ago.

How is your New Year going so far?

I'm living on the mountainside with my 2 Mexican rescue pups in my old RV. Got a new low wattage 24v a/c unit for the summer & a new wood stove for next winter, comfort being the name of the game. Might cruise down to Mexico next winter for some dental work & (more) r&r. Living the life of Riley n loving it!

Sadly, I doubt she will.

My friend Joni suffered from long covid & she ended up getting kicked out of assisted living (old folks home) because of it. Lucky for her that she had some money & some coming from disability to rent a hotel room or she would have been just another dying old woman kicked out onto the streets.

My goodness, that is awful! :((

Yup, & right now she's applying for MAID because of her severe & unrelenting pain. The medical system (& the government in general) failed her here in Canada, as it does many who are disabled.
