Good ideas, but both places I have been refferred to by my doc are more of a specialty shop...not a hospital, but a place that only does cataract surgeries. Kind of like a dentist office but for eyes, ha ha. Both surgeons also work at rhe local hospitals too but I guess they make more money...

My doc told me they will want to check me the following day and, since, hopefully, I will be there overnight it seems like a great plan. Saves me from having to drive back and forth. My van has no passenger seats with seatbelts so, if i drive there, i would have to drive it back to camp or...

Well, 6 months ago my eye doctor told me I need cataract surgery sometime within the next 6 months. I had my eyes checked just before I left to go out on the road. I am planning on doing what had been suggested above, requesting that I park in their lot overnight as I have no one to sign me...

I had no problems reading your post and thought it was very well written. I could not agree more. We do have instincts but yes, most people seem to ignore them. In my 1st week out, I went to a nice lake that had free camping with a 2 day limit. When you get there, there are instructions on...

Thank you. Yes, Iam lucky I learned about mechanics at an early age and have done my own work on my vehicles since before I got my drivers license way back in the 1970's. Still, anything can happen out on the road and I just hope when it does that I have the right tools, knowledge and parts to...

Thank you eDJ, I will check out those links. I appreciate your reply and all of the advice and info, thanks.

Thank you Carla, I will look up the Captain's Log area and post there when I get a chance.

Well, hard to believe it has been 30 days since I took off. Finally got all the stuff out of my apt. Van is too full still but I have been weeding things out as I go. August is not the best time to head out in Ky due to the heat but, thats when my lease ended. Van running great so far with...

Wow, a Bonanza V tail, what a great airplane. I never flew in one but I knew a guy that had one and flew all over the US in it and he loved it. I could not even afford the gas for a Cessna 152 these days.

Amen.

Great idea, my only issue would be cost. Even way back when I was flying planes out of our local airport, autogas was still 2 times the price at the pump and I bet it is even higher now. It is great gas though and is exactly as you describe. The one station in town here that I know of that...

Yes, good point. Some of the free TVA and COE sites I have saved mentioned boat ramps. I wish states would honor fishing licences from other states like they do drivers licenses. I will have one for KY, but dont want to buy one for TN, NC, VA, etc.

The Champion manual on mine says if not going to use for a few weeks, to follow the long term storage proceedure, which is basically just running it until it stops from lack of fuel. This eliminates the fuel in the carb. bowl and helps prevent the damage that the ethanol in the gas can do to...

I have the old standard 2 gal. garden sprayer painted flat black. I have only tested it once to date and it worked just great and I was able to shower using about half (1 gal.) the water in the sprayer. It came with several tips I can swap out but the original tip was fine. I really liked it...

Nice, I have the Champion 2,000 watt generator and I really like it. It broke in nicely and I drained the gas and put it away until I leave next month. I looked at the 2,500 watt unit but decided to get the smaller one and, I caught a good sale and coupon and got it for about $365.00 on ebay...
