    Canine separation Anxiety, or a legitimate itch

    Ok back to step zero. I think she is insane. I left her alone for 30 minutes and she chewed her belly and part of her tail just above her rump to near the point of bleeding. Wet with saliva and bright red with brighter red spots here and there within the damaged area, which kind of looked like...

    You Ain't Right Club

    PBR's a plenty. That first one in the day is redefining sucking down a beer. The can is collapsing. The second one, depends on just how hot it was and how much sawdust I made.

    Improving airflow in a Nissan NV2500

    With a powerful roof exhaust fan, one can have the air intakes where they will do the most good for a human wanting a passive breeze, or just suppliment with an internal fan to aim at ones body. Intake Vents on the floor are likely a bad idea on vehicles wil leaky exhausts. I'd not stress it...

    Canine separation Anxiety, or a legitimate itch

    The dogs breeder, in Poland, said her mother is allergic to chicken, and the food was changed to a chicken free food a few months ago, with possible improvements, but other variables also changed. But her food supply is almost out. I emailed her owner and asked what the purchase, b ut will get...

    You Ain't Right Club

    BS, as far as degrees of 'Ain't right' requiring achnowledgement with badges. I'll be beahving improperly so as to be able to relate tales of 'Ain't right' deeds, until I get my third Steenkeeng badge, and view them as more important than the number next to my 'reputation' It will be easier...

    Canine separation Anxiety, or a legitimate itch

    I am starting to think she's got a legitimate itch. I think there might be some mites/ chiggers in some of the places she lays down on the home owner's property. It seems the more time she spends here, even when not alone, the higher likelyhood she will act like something just bit her and...

    India Pale Ale. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-india-pale-ale-got-its-name-180954891/ They are usually quite potent with 6.5 to 7% alcohol, where as Budweiser is about 5%, and coors light is 3.2% or something equally watery. Stone IPA is brewed here in San diego and has apparently...

    Any new opinions/experiences about the Oasis Firefly?

    The clauses that they say wll void or shorten the warranty, the conditions will degrade any battery. I frankly find battery warranties a bit ridiculous. What other product can be killed intentionally or thourgh ignorance and allow the purchaser to expect a new one for free. Gee I drove my new...

    Dometic CC-40US

    I'd like to know more about the Waeco compressor. I believe it is a Danfoss/secop clone, but am not sure. It appears very similar in pictures. The Danfoss bd35f is variable speed, 2000 to 3500 rpm, and at 3500 rpm can power a fairly large fridge upto 5.5 cubic feet if I remember correctly...

    Improving airflow in a Nissan NV2500

    I am truly impressed with how much engineering goes into the Noctua Fan designs. My finger is hovering over a click order on their industrial 3000 rpm version of the nf-f12 and their speed controller, but I have not quite earned that money yet to pay for it. That version is only IP52 rated...

    Taking the plunge

    That group 29 interstate is NOT an AGM.  It is likely  made by johnson controls, but hard to really say A near 60 pound weight group 29/31 is pretty good, I believe the group 29s wal mart sells are also johnson controls but lighter weight, but not 100% sure by any means. I have a group 31...

    Improving airflow in a Nissan NV2500

    My Meanwell rsp-500-15 came with a 40mm x 20mm NMB fan. Extremely powerful for such a tiny fan, very loud too. I employed a 60mm and 80MM noctua fans as supplimental ventilation to it as it was not really designed for the task I ask of it, 40 amp for as long as a depleted battery can take it...

    Taking the plunge

    Interstate is not a battery manufacturer, they are a battery marketer. Who currently makes thge, if any ~125 AH AGM battery in their inventory, is anybody's guess and it will be whomever offered them the most profit margin( lowest bidder). Batteries + sells X2 power batteries which are...

    Help! Need advice on battery and accessories ?

    Turning the fridge off at night is not a great idea. It takes more energy to cool it back down than if one had left it continue maintaining a safe food temperature. (sub 40f) Also when turning it back on, it will run a lot more than if it had been left on overnight. When solar is involved...

    To the frozen Pizza ......

    A strong IPA is nice to get the beer buzz started, but afterwards I prefer a lager or pilsner to reach the desired level and maintain. One of my friends is an IPA always type of guy, and he just gets sloppy. I despise the IPA aftertaste if I finish the night on those donated to my buzz by my...

    Improving airflow in a Nissan NV2500

    My 3 intake fans are in the lower portion of a conversion van sliding window in back of van, blowing over my side to side bed, on drivers side, which measures about 7.5 inches tall and about 21 inches long. The 180mm fan is exposed first when I slide the window open. I do not always open the...

    California Pizza is not so great, coming from NJ. ther e are a few places that try and mimick the thin crusty greasy goodness I grew up with, but iN general California Pizza is not very impressive, to me. Does not mean that I do not eat it though. I always loved a good frozen Pizza, and the...

    Improving airflow in a Nissan NV2500

    I like speed adjusted but powerful computer fans exchanging outside air for inside air, and utilize both intake and exhaust fans, and with reflectix on the sunny side windows can keep my van's interior cooler than until about noon, then same as ambient temps, and by late afternoon when things...
