...And the road becomes my bride I have stripped of all but pride So in her I do confide And she keeps me satisfied Gives me all I need ...And with dust in throat I crave Only knowledge will I save To the game you stay a slave Rover, wanderer Nomad, vagabond Call me what you will Metallica

Just saw these at "Academy" and couldn't help but chuckle. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk

Make sure you check out Presque Isle Park. When I lived in Erie you could take a tour of the ship when it was docked. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using Tapatalk

When I worked as a roadside assistant I carried a breaker bar, set of 12 point impact sockets and a 3 foot piece of pipe for extra torque. Never had trouble with stubborn lug nuts. The post for a reflective vest is a good idead too. Nothing scarier than changing a tire at night on a busy...

I don't know if this topic has been addressed, but I have done it for years with no problems and saving loads of money. If you have a vocational school near you that teaches auto repair or body repair, you can talk to the instructor about any work you need done. Now all schools aren't the...

That's good info to have. I think I will stick to more traditional methods then. Never heard of it back in the 70's and 80's when I was tramping around that area.

A practice I used in my camping days around Yuma that saved a lot of water and got dishes spotless. We would scrub dishes with dry sand until clean. All you had to do after they were clean is wipe them with a damp towel to remove any sand and dust. Really helped save on water. Anybody else...
