https://www.cdc.gov/shingles/about/transmission.html#:~:text=Transmission Well according to the CDC, people with shingles can not give them to anyone else. This says it is left over in the body of people who had chickenpox. I am not a Doc and I am not saying one way or the other, I am simply...

What you say here is true. To me, "Old Fashioned" is just another name for something that has worked very well, and continues to work very well. Things like a can opener, pencil sharpener, older less computerized vehicles, forums like this one, and bacon.

I had the first 2 covid jabs, my daughter forced me to get them. The 2nd one made me seriously ill for a week and, to this day, my right elbow locks up and I get a painful snap when I straighten it all the way out. I never had anything like that prior to getting jabbed in that arm. I had a...

Daniel Boone National Forest is one of the places I am going once I head out in July. If it is too hot there I may head down toward the Smokies to get some elevation. I have used various apps to find several other boondocking spots around this state that I will be trying as well. Later, like...

I read that bears love blackberry bushes so I will be avoiding them, ha ha. I had one very close encounter (4 feet away) with a black bear once off of Skyline Drive in VA near the AT and that was more than enough. My friend was even closer so I figured the bear would go for him first, ha ha...

I had never heard of this app so I just tried it for my state. Mammoth Cave National Park shows up just fine but not Daniel Boone National Forest, which is a huge forest. (From the USDA forest Service: "Spread across 21 counties of eastern Kentucky, the Daniel Boone National Forest manages...

I agree. I am not sure about other Park's prices as I know they will vary, but with that pass (Senior Lifetime Pass for $80) I can camp at Mammoth Cave National Park here in Kentucky for $12.50/night which might do in a pinch. That's not bad as they have facilities (showers, water, etc.) and I...

I think it nice and a good idea. However, may I suggest using V.L. Forum instead of Van Living Forum? I know it is the name of the forum and is great advertising and branding. All of us would know what it stood for though. I am just against having anything on my van that indicates I am living...

Great idea. If/when in a humid environment, I would stick the cell in a zip lock baggie and then make the sandwich otherwise condensation could leak into the phone and that is not good. Very humid here in Kentucky so when I use your trick, that's what I will do.

Excellent that you warned about Carbon Monoxide, running the fan when the engine is on and having a CO detector etc. Some people ignore these dangers and some also pay the price for it.

I used water weld to patch a small hole in the radiator of my 1995 Mercury Villager mini van I used to own. It held with no leaks until I replaced the radiator about 6 months later. I just remembered that I also used it on my Dodge van when I put in a new radiator last month. The new one came...

Thanks, that's a good idea and, once I install my high top roof rack, (I am waiting on some grade 5 nuts/bolts) my unistrut and my panels, I will do so. I can be very creative and inventive but sometimes, especially when I am very close to a project like this one, I can get stuck and I draw a...

I have four 180 watt panels for the roof (720 watts) and another 100 watt panel I put a telescoping folding leg on so I can stick it outside to charge my 2 smaller power stations. Between those smaller units and my Bluetti AC200P I have 200 amp hours of battery storage. I also have a nice...

Newer does not always mean better. When I left to drive 700 miles to go to college with my friend, his father wanted to follow along to make sure his son got down there ok and see the college since he went there too. So, we had a 3 vehicle convoy. My buddy's Dad was driving his brand new Audi...

Yes, I read that on their website. It said for the higher priced one ($45/month I think?) it said you still might get throttled after using 50 gigs of data when usage in an area is very high but, you will have a higher priority and others would get cut back first. I might sign up for the...

I know your post was almost a year ago but, I am thinking of doing the same on my two large rear conversion van windows. I was going to put something reflective (space blanket, aluminum tape, etc.) on the side of the blue foam facing the glass to reflect the heat back out of the glass but, I...

Thank you, that is good to hear. I have an unlocked Galaxy A12 but will need to get another phone and will check out the AO3. I appreciate the information.

That's good information, thanks. I thought those types of frogs or toads were only found in places like Australia.

Do you mean to say she croaked? (Sorry, I sometimes can't help myself.)

Welcome. I wish you anrd your wife many happy miles of safe travels.
