    My Poor Old Truck

    I think he cuts me slack because of the disabled vet plate, I don't know. I wouldn't want him to be short-changed, I'm not broke. I look like it a lot with the loose sweatsuits and things I wear, but that's just for comfort. Rob I travel 35 miles to go to his shop just because he is honest...

    Carry a gun? Extra cash? Where?

    Speedhighway46 said, But the ol' saying is still the truest . . . "I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six." When you are alone and fighting for your life, anything goes." Years ago in my wilder days I got into a scrap with a guy who had me in a serious headlock, he was steady...

    My Poor Old Truck

    The service manager just called. Seems that the high pressure hose that High Desert Ranger told me about is also in some way connected to the pulley system or causes issues with the pulley system and that, along with my running the power steering pump dry caused the failure of two serpentine...

    Capri Campers

    Before I bought my Outfitter years ago I looked at Capri Campers and they appeared to be well made. Not rushed through an assembly line. a casual friend who works the rodeo circuit part time has one of the cheaper units and it has hung together well. This was prior to the new owners but I'm...

    Good Info - Trailer Axle Alignment

    Thanks OP, I asked the shop repairing my trailer to check alignment. I still felt a small amount of sway with the equalizer hitch and sway attachment. Or it could just be I'm snakebit and worry for nothing. Rob

    Homeless videos

    The first surprise welcome home videos I enjoyed, now it's all a set up. People call the TV news and announce their intentions. I'm always happy the person made it home okay, but keep it personal, not a public display. Rob

    Humor

    I have a friend in Indiana who has plenty of cash, acreage in the city and designed or sketched his house he wanted built. One huge bedroom, equally huge living room and normal size everything else. The architect said he had never drawn up a one bedroom house, much less one with 2000 sq ft...

    Humor

    Some may not get the humor in this but;;;;; I went to the office today to collect my mail, usual packages of meds, a couple of appointment cards......And a letter from the ACLU addressed to me wanting a donation. I'm going to frame it. Rob

    Humor

    Light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm still waiting for the mechanic to call and tell me how much to get my old truck back on track, I figure the longer it takes, the more it costs. Damn good thing there is a pawn shop close by. I've got food, shelter and if worse comes to worse I will take...

    For those of you that carry . . . what would you do

    Hepcat, I'm sorry if you thought I was being derogatory toward you or the thousands of cops who do their jobs according to 'the rules', I didn't mean to be. I have had very few interactions with police, speeding and no seat belt in Ohio but I was in fact wearing a seat belt, I had the strap...

    For those of you that carry . . . what would you do

    I live in a black and white world. If someone is coming into my home, be it an RV or a tent, there is no such nicety of "Halt, Who is There?" my instinct is that they are coming to harm me or mine. No warning shots, or less than lethal shots to the arm or leg, my sole intent is to survive and to...

    If you're traveling with a pet...

    My comment sounds harsh, I know this. I am writing about animals in a campground or such as RTR. I love all animals and harming one is against my nature. In the thread I got in trouble with a member was writing (in my thread I might add) about her "predatory" dog. My response was not pleasant. I...

    For those of you that carry . . . what would you do

    You may consider moving up a notch or two in caliber. A .25 does not have much stopping power. Consider at least a 9mm or a .40, both have little recoil and much more stopping power. Rob

    For those of you that carry . . . what would you do

    Abuelaloca, use what is comfortable for you. And practical. Spray in an enclosed area may blind you too, a bat is easily taken away from someone, a knife is a personal weapon and a knife wound, unless put in a killing area, just makes the person more irate. I have an ice pick I would use if my...
