    You are right about Malinois. Not only smart but definitely a breed to have if you're on your own driving around the country. They will protect you like no other breed. I got mine as a puppy back in 2002.

    Hi Grace, a thought come to my mind whenever you flip the switch for your seat warmer, check the amp under the hood of your car. It may need to be changed. If I'm not mistaken it should take 10 amp and it is easy to replace as well as inexpensive. Good luck and let me know how that goes!

    Sometimes it is good just to be in a different area. Maybe not at the top of your preferences but will make going back to your list a favorite places even better. At least that is how is works for me. Several months in Florida and coming back to Colorado camping and it seems so good. Sounds like you need a bit more battery capacity too.

    I am on my second 4R 2022 TRD Off-road. For reliability and durability second to none very few cars can match it. It’s not the fastest but it’s not a race car, gas mileage isn’t great but it’s not economy car, doesn’t have all fancy gadgets of today’s car hence why the reliability. It’s old-school simple and durable. As long as you change the oil and do the regular maintenance it can last you to 200-300k. It’s an excellent all-around vehicle was good road drive ability and smooth long as you don’t have beefed up off-road tires. Not to mention resale value is crazy, The price of a new one is close to a used one. Good luck

    Hi Grace. The hotel's "Do" throttle internet down/up load traffic. While having a video conference, it all of a sudden stopped. I called the front desk to see if the internet was down. After voicing my displeasure, they re-established me and said I needed to in the future request the limits removed when checking in, just say it's for work, it's never been a problem since. Do you have more then one solar gen in your car? Just thinking that alternating, keeping one in the car for the fridge and charge to other in the room. On a side note.... did you lose a bet and have to go to Stockton Texas?? 🙂 Just kidding Texas, I loved it there when I was traveling thru. Well Grace, I hope you get your batteries charged, car and yours, a little rest at a good hotel (pool, exercise room and breakfast/coffee) can make a break seem light a vacation. Okay I know what you're saying..... Stockton Texas.... really Brian?? lol Take care Grace and stay safe.

      Pillow cases, blanket, and sheets are generally changed out. I don't think the top comforter is switched unless there's an obvious issue. It's always a challenge as a guest at any hotel not knowing what's been brought into a room by a previous guest. a perfectly clean room one day , could have, fleas, bed bugs, roaches ,ants, fruit flies the next due to what might be crawling in and on someone's luggage or food stuffs. I'm sure it's a concern to pet owners that their pet not pick up something from previous animal in that room and humans not knowing that that room was recently rented to someone with a pet (allergies and insects).
