Here's a good site for free (and inexpensive) eBooks for Kindles: http://hundredzeros.com/. Not to worry if you don't actually HAVE a Kindle, there are several free Kindle ereaders online.

Many states offer veterans' discounts or waivers on vehicle registration. Didn't find an overall website with links to each state, but an online search for "yourstate veterans vehicle registration" gets you most of the way there. Has saved me hundreds of dollars a year - wish it could be...

After weeks of research and comparison shopping, got a Scan Guage II - sounds like it would more than pay for itself in gas mileage and avoided repairs.  Installed it in the V10 (Ford e350) by following the directions and took a test ride.  Hard to start, belching black smoke, ran very rough and...

Used to buy directly from China and Hong Kong (samey-same) when prices were very low to get into the US market but the quality was often low and documentation on electronics nonexistent or incomprehensible, which can be an acceptable risk if the company is good at returns. After awhile I just...

Does it seem to you like thrift shop prices have gone up a lot? Seems like many of them (here in Oklahoma City, anyway) are at almost retail levels. Books still seem to be priced well, though.

Anyoung haseyo, itripper!

Carpet padding remnants are cheap (sometimes free for the asking) and provide some cushion and thermal support. Discovered that when doing a lot of camping with the Boy Scouts. Thermarests and the like, even rollmat like the USMC uses (got some fond memories of sleeping in puddles in Okinawa...

Nice looking van that sounds like it's in good shape. Given the age, I'd be looking to figure out the likeliest candidate to be next on the repair list and factor that cost into the overall life cycle value. FWIW, Kelly Blue Book lists the value of the cargo version of a 1999 ford e-250 van...

Would there be a good chance of selling them at Quartzsite during the 2017 RTR?

What branch did you have the pleasure of serving with?    Know whatcha mean about anxiety suddenly popping up for no apparent reason.  Have learned a few things: there's always an underlying cause, that the cause is always temporary, that you can just talk to the irrational bits and either make...

Milk crates.

About 200 or so books, articles, and videos on magic by authors like Houdini, Shugard, Stebbins, Erdnase and other greats are available (free!) at http://www.lybrary.com/the-learned-pig-project-tlpp-a-21.html. "The Learned Pig Project was started in September 1999 by Marko from Panama. Marko's...

Have you considered getting a dashcam for the next vehicle? Getting rearended by a lawyer that tried to weasel out of responsibility convinced me that $75 now could save lots of pain later. It has already helped defuse a road rage incident as soon as the other guy realized he was being video...

Honda C/RV's have a split rear seat, one wider than another, so you can flip one side down and have a big enough space for a twin size air mattress to sleep on and still have storage space in the rear cargo area and rear seat, even if you leave the mattress in place all the time.  The tinted...

Has anyone else noticed that being a solo diner sometimes gets you the newest server, seating at a tiny table or near the buscart / kitchen door, or indifferent / neglectful service?  It's almost a financial equation:  one diners' tips, even if 25%, don't match the tip potential of a group of...

Having a really nice dining room set that could set up the interior of a step van or box truck in a gypsy vardo theme, I spent a lot of time looking online, scanning papers, walking car and truck dealer lots, visiting curbstoners who are either not actually the real owner (and are 'acting for...

Bon voyage!

Gunny, How do you (I'm asking for advice) get around TriCare's policy to have Medicare?  They seem pretty insistent that without MediCare, they don't pay, here are some examples: http://www.vmwusa.org/index.php/healthcareservices/hcarticles/47-health/1088-medicare
