    Pirate Camp Winter Season 2022-23

    All I can say is that a mummy was found in Portugal that was 8,000 years old. Now that is a long lasting use of cloth tape. Whatever you call it.

    My Daddy Always Said

    One Halloween my father and his brother were grounded. They got caught stealing watermelons from old man Smith. They had the perfect plan to get back at him. They almost had the outhouse up on his porch roof when he and his dog came out of the woods with a shotgun. Well of course they dropped...

    Ssdi while on the road

    For your ssdi, just open a bank account and have direct deposit. Use your card to draw out or pay bills. I am lucky enough to have USAA.

    Can rebuilding an Engine drastically increase fuel efficiency?

    Drastically? No. If you changed out the entire fuel delivery system perhaps up to 25%. But the cost would be more than the mileage gain would justify. Keep up on the oil changes, and use a fuel cleaner like Lucas every other fill up. That is the best way to help keep from getting worse gas...

    Pressure Cooker

    I have permanent scars from a pressure cooker that had a bean in the vent. I’m just happy it was raining that night. If it won’t open easy, let it sit until it does.

    First solar install

    Solar power consists of a positive wire, a negative wire, and a system ground. A couple of safety fuses between components. The problem is that it is almost too simple for most people to comprehend. Panels (power) controller and batteries. An inverter if you are getting fancy and using 120...

    Post deleted

    I am so happy. I was baited by another member and got my typing finger spanked and post deleted for being drawn off topic. Thanks to the boss lady moderator I feel like someone is watching out for me and keeping the spirit of HDR alive. Don’t post anything that is not helpful. Keep up...

    First solar install

    SanTan Solar is the premier used solar panel seller. They sell the used panels from solar fields that are panels replaced for tax purposes. Their panels have 20+ years of use left on them. The last ones I bought cost me 20 cents a watt. $50 for 250 w panels.

    My Daddy Always Said

    That quote goes back to recorded history. Almost every philosopher wrote much on that subject. That is the basis for an argument with the members here who you just dismissed as not being able to handle abstract thinking. Lao Tsu said: Knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is...

    Hearing aids in Mexico?

    The laws have changed so now hearing aides are available over the counter. But buyer beware. You get what you pay for. Try them first and don’t be afraid to say no.

    Debating which to do first.

    L brackets raised the panels about 1 1/2 inches above the mounting surface. I have one friend that hangs his flex panels from the awning to help shade his chair. Because of the flex, they fail early compared to rigid panels.

    33-year-old woman who tried the nomadic lifestyle and ended up broke

    ^^^^^^^^** My daughters (all early 30s) could pull it off. But that is not what they are interested in. Many people try jumping in to this lifestyle without learning the basics such as how to line a poop bucket and to pee in a container you can dump. In other words ~~ Don’t try to do...
