    B.G. Great to see a fellow Kentuckian on here. Nice to meet you.

    I have full coverage from State Farm on my conversion van which runs me about $40/month. Bullfrog is correct though, rates depend a lot on what state you are in and even what county/area of that state that you are in. My residence happens to be in a fairly small town/city in Kentucky. Shop...

    Songs about nomadic life, homelessness, etc.

    That's funny, I saw that today and sent it to my 2 brothers. We are all musicians and have played in many different bands over the years and I said to them that these kids did a better job on this song than most of the bands I heard in the bars and clubs we played at.

    Well said. I could not agree more.

    Be careful, those things never give up and, they will call for reinforcements if they think they are starting to lose the battle. You may need to call in the bug zappers. Good luck and Godspeed.

    I don't blame you one bit. There are plenty of other places to volunteer that would be super happy to have you, or you could just keep making dolls for the kids at various shelters as you suggested. Crippling yourself by standing all day on a bad ankle helps no one and is too great a risk for...

    Disposing of solid waste

    Thanks. I also never even mentioned BLM or National Forest land either and yes, I did say to check in whatever location you are in before doing so. I also never used the term "Cat hole" because in Scouting, I was taught this term referred to digging a hole to relieve yourself in and that is...

    ✅ Using AA Battery Powered Ceiling Puck Lights Instead of Wired 12 volt Lights??

    I have been using Joule Thief (Blocking Oscillator ) circuits in almost all my led lights here for about 15 years now. The really cool thing about them is, they can light an led, or up to 400 leds depending on which one you decide to make, off a single "dead" AA battery. I used to have my...

    This throws a bad light on RVs. News from Seattle

    "Other than the increasing restrictions on where one may park, when, and for how long, which affect all of us" (Quoted from Wandering Rose, quote function did not work as I tried several times) This is exactly what I would be concerned about. That has already happened in my area. I used to...

    This throws a bad light on RVs. News from Seattle

    That's my concern as well. Many people watching this on the news will likely lump all of us in together not knowing any better.

    I recently watched one of Bob's videos where he was filming from the driver's seat of his ambulance while it was strapped to a flatbed being towed to the nearest repair shop for an engine problem he was having. That was real. Mechanical things can and do break down. He also showed a video...

    Disposing of solid waste

    As mentioned, separating the liquids form the solids is the key, actually, not mixing them in the first place is better. (Which is probably what people mean when they say that) I use a large mouth gatorade type bottle for liquids, and a bio-degradable bag for solids. My understanding is we...

    Solving my tire problems

    I love my Ryobi impact wrench. Just know that you should not use an impact wrench to tighten lugnuts. I use mine to put them on in a cross pattern to center the wheel but not all that tight. (My wrench has the ability to snap off the wheels studs if I hit them too hard) I then torque them to...

    Illegal Obstruction of Public Land Access

    My understanding is that is the way it is on the beaches on our coasts. When I was a kid in NJ going to the shore to my Grandparents house, we all had to have beach tags because if a lifeguard caught you on the beach without one, you got fined. (My Grandparents had to buy them each year for...

    Your ideal kit list for living in a small space on the move

    Thank you for your reply. I will check with the friends of the library as I know I have seen that group mentioned in my area. I am not really trying to make any money from these books I just want to see someone else enjoy them like I have over the years. I have books from back when I was...

    Your ideal kit list for living in a small space on the move

    Thanks. I like my Epiphone acoustic a lot but, I also really like my Chinese strat that I hotrodded with lots of good stuff and it plays great. (I even put a strat decal on the headstock and put 3 coats of polyurethane over it, just as a joke, not to try to pass it off as a real one) I had...
