    Best Computing device for RV living?

    401K, IRA for early retirement and no taxes paid

    Quote: "For the first time (filing this year) , taxpayers will have to report on their tax returns whether they have health insurance. Millions of taxpayers who are receiving tax credits to help pay insurance premiums will have to report them as well"

    401K, IRA for early retirement and no taxes paid

Go ahead, say it: Flailer, you are one laz.... hey...

    Portable Micro Hydro Power: Split from solar thread

    Yes. You guys are coming in loud n clear. The 100 or 200 ft of water lines, needed to create head (pressure) required, is prohibitive to portability (considering the size of most rigs) Link 100ft lengths

    Portable Micro Hydro Power: Split from solar thread

    Thanks for bringing Hydro power into the discussion MrBob. I scanned the forum and saw little on the topic. I am considering a small, portable, micro-hydro power generation system. I know, it sounds crazy, but I am willing to explore it, at least on paper. And, so far, it doesn't sound...

    Honda Gen and propane
