Pepperoni Pizza and Miller MGD in a frozen mug

Sorry to hear about your experience. In over 5 years of traveling extensively I haven't run into a threatening situation. My advice would be to leave because I would have a hard time enjoying myself if it happened to me and I would never come back. There are still too many places to frequent...

I have a 24" Access TV/DVD LCD 12 volt I got from Amazon. It has a cigarette plug. I'm happy with it. I bought 4 pair of 6+ eyeglasses on Amazon for $25. They are scratch resistant and have spring frames. You pick the strength you need. I can afford to break or lose them at this price and I...

Beautiful sunrise, full refrigerator and 75 degrees with sun shining in Western AZ. Great CW station for my listening pleasure

The rebar stakes are easy to remove if you turn them using channel locks or another stake placed though the ring. Turn a few times and they come right out. I think they are 1.50 at the hardware store. I just pound them in with a small sledge. I've done it quite a few times in and around...

Sorry to hear about your condition. Last winter I was camped out in the desert when a group (WIN) decided they liked my spot and camped on top of me which aggravated me although they never knew it. I figured if I stayed there it was my own fault since there are plenty of other places to go so I...

If someone bummed a smoke and then a light the classic response was "do you want me to smoke it for you too"

I was passing through Carson City today when I stopped for gas, actually I was running on fumes. A young couple parked next to me asked for gas money. I said sure but let me see your gas guage. He said he didn't think it worked and drove away. Last year a father sent his two young son's over to...

I use a Harbor Freight that takes a regular hose. Works great. In fact I bought another as a backup. It was $40 on sale.

I've ordered plenty of stuff through Walmart and everything arrived in a reasonable time

Check out BCM mail and ship in Quartzsite which charges $60 a year. They collect my mail and send me a email for each new piece and post a picture of each piece. They send all or part of the accumulated mail to wherever I want for a very reasonable fee

Good luck on your new adventure. A word to the wise concerning a portable toilet. I met a lady earlier this year who had a toilet turn over in her van while she was driving. It rendered it unlivable and I'm not sure how she got it cleaned up as she left. I'm thinking you would have to pull the...

I'm retired and saving money as a unintended consequence but reminds me of a quote I heard recently. Invest conservatively but save aggressively

I also decided to wait until age 70 to collect my Social security. My wife died several years before I was ready to retire. The first point I would make is that SSA will not inform you about the best way to maximize your benefits. I found out that as a surviving spouse I was eligible to collect...

My mail forwarder is in Quartzsite AZ and I've received several notices for jury duty. I just contact them to let them know I'm not in town and they have excused me without any penalty. I wouldn't ignore the notice

I subscribe to a mail service in Quartzsite AZ. The service collects my mail and sends me an email alert and I can sign on and look at a picture of the envelope. When I'm ready to receive my mail I have him send my mail General Delivery to a post office near where I am currently located. I've...

The Allstays app shows which Walmarts allow overnights and which do not. I only asked permission once. It was near Christmas and they paged the very busy manager to come to the service desk to see if I could camp overnight. If my app says they allow it then I stay one night and if they ask...

I have a Amazon Prime membership but only use it for the TV and movie videos I can download. Since I'm always traveling I order from Walmart and have it shipped free to a store in a town I'll be traveling through. Returns are real easy. I've even ordered large items like truck tires and let...

How about renting the house and taking off for the winter?

Check out hipcamp and boondocking welcome. I'm sure there are others
