    24/7 Chat About Anything

    No not just a 'a guy'. Anyone who knows enough about cars to not be taken advantage of... I have enough to almost sound like I know what I am talking about, mostly enough to know when someone is trying to BS me. If they object to me making a few phone calls while I think about it, then nope...

    Unfortunately there is still a lot of not so nice mechanics that take advantage of female car owners in particular. Whenever my sons girlfriend took her car in for whatever the shop she went to really ripped her off. After he heard about some of the sh&t they pulled he took the same car in and...

    Roll around kitchen

    We do that when we go to the beach. We angle the van so that it is a wind block. Then put the chairs and such beside it. Tie the portapotti tent to the front bumper, back doors block the wind to the kitchen area. So still able to cook outside. There are only a few beaches where you can drive out...

    Roll around kitchen

    cooking simple food in car

    I use my jackery to power my stuff. But a simple can stove thing would work to heat stuff up. It's the other end of cooking that can be an issue. The keeping things safely cold. I have a fridge thing about the size of an ice chest that plugs into my jackery and or my car for power.

    And they can see who you are and will follow, for awhile, anyone they find as a friend. My son has some in his neighborhood that come when called and bring him 'gifts' a couple times a week. They each know their own names and are so much fun to play with.
