RV tool box ideas

I am starting to build my toolbox for RV repairs. I will be adding Rescue Tape to it. Here is the description of it -

"RESCUE TAPE is the World’s Best-Selling Brand of Self-Fusing Silicone Tape Silicone Rescue Tape is an award-winning silicone repair tape for Emergencies and All-purpose repairs. You can instantly repair leaks on plumbing and hoses, make underwater repairs, use it on electrical wires or as shrink-wrap, seal and protect hydraulic fittings or other exposes metal connections, make an emergency fan belt, o-ring gasket and so much more! RESCUE TAPE FEATURES Does NOT stick to anything - Rescue tape can be applied on any kind of surface simply because it fuses with its own-self, therefore, can be used on any kind of surface as long as you can wrap it around and overlap it.

Rescue Tape

I just bought the Viair compressor from Amazon. It has a pressure gauge right at the air gun locations so you can see the air pressure after stopping the fill of the tire. The compressor also has an auto-off feature so you do not need to power it off to check the pressure. It comes with 2- 30 ' air hoses which can be connected together for a full 60 '. The full pressure it can handle is 150 psi.

Visiting the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, CA

Last night we went to the Chabot Space & Science Center for an event called $5 First Friday.  It allows visitors to get a discount on the entrance fee once a month. It is a very popular event so if you want to check it out, get there before 6p. We had arrived at 5:30p. Knowing we would be getting there early, we also brought dinner with us. We ate it in the car, then at 6p the doors opened for the evening event.

There were many different shows going on that evening. We liked the "Science Revealed Live Show: Fire vs. Ice". They showed different science project related to getting things very cold and hot. It was very entertaining for everyone. Lily also liked  "The Big Family Quiz Thing". It was like a trivia show which some of the audience participated in the event. The questions were science related. She did a better job than me to guess the answers. In the Planetarium we saw a show called "Cosmos 360: Fast and Curious - Humans in Space". This was also a very entertaining show.

We also were able to look through the 20" telescope, named Rachel. They had it pointing at a star. It was about 7:20p so the sun had not set yet. I was surprise to see something before the sun had set. The telescopes can not view anything when there is high percent of humidity at the site. Every Friday and Saturday nights it is free to view through the telescopes. Access to them is in the back of the site. 

Military Funeral

Yesterday I went to a funeral for uncle Bob. He was one of Lily's uncles on her dad's side of the family. His name was Amado Babasa. I met him a few times at family events and also had some chats with him.

This was the first time that I can remember going to a military cemetery for a funeral. Since he was a veteran, he was allowed to be buried there at no cost to his family. I was very impressed with services which were held there. When we got to the location for the ceremony there were men standing on either side of the walkway, each holding an America flag. We learned after the event that they are apart of a nation volunteer group called the Patriot Guard Riders. This made the service more special.




Uncle Bob was a nice person to know. He will be missed.

Interesting Growlers

While surfing the web, I found a link for a Growler with a CO2 cartridge. This impressed me since the beer can come out the same way as a big keg does. On this unit the CO2 cartridge is installed in the cap.

I also liked this one, Go Keg Original 64 Oz Starter-Stainless Steel Mini Keg Growler With CO2 Professional Tap, 

Also from Go Keg is this model - Go Keg Flex Tap 64oz Starter-Stainless Steel Mini Keg Growler With CO2 Plastic Flex Tap.
