    Lots of he newer ones do not have a spare. None come with a jack. Most owners/drivers and not change one anyway without an impact tool. Road service will be needed either way.

    Windows error scammers at it again

    I had a good laugh with one of the Asian guys. He did not understand English very well. So I played along for awhile. Then I told him he was full of $%&*. He yes. I said "you are full of $%&*"? He said "Yes, I am full of $%&*". Then a co-worker told him to hang up. I laughed until I cried.

    Black Tank - Best Product to use

    Lots of water. I will add Dawn dish detergent and Cascade with "sheeting action" (dishwasher soap) to clean the tank sensors. The sensors will be off if there is a "scum" over them. The Dawn and Cascade will remove the scum.

    Windows 10 upgrade - should we do it?

    Do it. We have two laptops and 2 desktops on W10. Best yet. The biggest complaint is that people do not want to look and learn anything new. W10 actually solved a problem we had with both W7 and W8 on using an older printer - scanner on wireless. The printer manufacturer could not solve the...

    Painting the interior

    Gary gave good advice as usual. I roughed up the surface with fine sandpaper (break the glaze) and used Kilz the painted. I used latex Kilz where most suggest the oil based. This was 3 years ago and no problems. Hint: Home Depot will tint Kilz to the color ypu want at no cost.
