It is almost time to bring The Casita home, pack up and head to Moab Utah for the National Rally. (pictures from 2006) I am ready for a trip. There has been so much going on, this summer has raced past me. Seems like I just got back from SCARR .

Our Son wedding is coming right after the Moab trip.The State Fair (pictures from 2007), Then it will be the holiday season. And it is only 104 here in Dallas today. And, Thanks to the storms in the Gulf, gas prices have gone up 40 cents overnight. premium at the corner station is now $3.85 gallon,from $3.45 ….

That is all for now

With gas prices as they are, even on the way down (for now) I have been tracking them. The last two tanks on the 2000 were:
12.577 mpg
12.770 mpg

Both Disco’s were only driven around town, no highways for either one. Both were filled up at the same station during this period.

( From an earlier post on the gas milage for the 2000)
“The only worse mileage on the trip was around town in Virginia. 15.39 and 15.99mpg. If you pull these two out of the equation the 2000 Disco got 18.514mpg on the highway portion of the trip.”

During the same period the “04 was;
11.076 mpg
11.695 mpg
11.513 mpg

Now considering I have a rack with lights, and off road tires. If I remove them what kind of milage will I get?

It will be interesting to see what I get with the pumkin (04) next month pulling the Casita to Utah for the National Rally.

It turned out to be a gas cap….. What next ? I hope this is the end of service engine lights for a while. Got to use an LR2 or what ever they call the Freelander this weeek. First impression; quite nice driving , and the brakes put the Disco II to shame. I could not get the gas pedal down quite right. took off to fast or just idled away from lights…. One day was not enough … had flash backs of my Freelander every time I got behind the wheel. or looked from the “B” piller back when getting out….. Too hot to do any thing 104 out side, think I will watch a mindless movie

July has been hot and humid, Not much going on out side, or with the Rovers. I Have been redoing the wiring harness for the lights on the rack. The one that I did for the lights mounted on the roof rails was too long. Still getting the service engine light coming on (p0442). The Pumkin is going back to the dealer the 17th. I have been searching the web for Land Rover related comments on the code with no luck. I have found several for Dodges with the p0442 code.

My Son was in town for two days, and we just visited and set up my apple Tv to work with the plasma screen in the family room. Now If I only had all my movies on the hard drive it would be nice. I need another hard drive. Maybe a 1TB. I have filled up a 750 gig. It is nice to just set and scroll through the titles and push play.

Guess I will go clean the pool ….. Seems like a good day to do that …..
