I already voted. Went by the county offices and voted. Easy peasy.

Seen all three. Own Worlds Fastest Indian. Great movies all. But love my Yamaha XT-225 for adventure cycling. Geared right you can go pretty much anywhere. And you can pick up the bike if and when you drop it. A big 650 like the BMW or my top heavy Suzuki V-Strom 650 is another story for this...

Seems like you could do rainwater catchment stealthily. For a mobile setup just remove the catchment once the rain has stopped. The chance of someone riding around during the rain looking for collector violators is remote. For a remote cabin bury the catchment and for the collection system...

And don't forget over 65, which is me, can hunt and fish anything for free. This of course is for a Florida resident and you have to obey the limits, size and season. Not sure about stamps, permits for ducks and 'gators though. I imagine you have to get permit for 'gators still. Road kill should...

Back in the early '70's I won the bid for 3 P.O. Vans. Two were 4 cylinder internationals and one was a Studebaker with a 6 cylinder automatic. When I picked them up the head mechanic said the Stude was the best and they had the problems with it. I kept the Stude and sold the 2...

I agree. Not sure it's anymore than snake oil. I have a very old charger, say 30-40 years old that my dad used that is a battery boiler. It should be good for desulfating although the amperage you will need is probably not there. I'll have to check it and see if it's usable and the amperage I...

Battery desulfaters question for SternWake Most desulfator's are variations of the Alstair Couper circuit. I noticed on amazon you can purchase one starting at 25$ and the next one at 35$ and so on to above 100$ or so. They work by pulsing a 55-60 volt current into the battery for...

Rokuten sale of Renogy solar panels. 100 watt setup for $159.99. Here's the link.. http://renogy.shop.rakuten.com/p/solar-panel-starter-kit-100w-1pc-100w-solar-panel-pwm-30a-charge/251682937.html?scid=em_Promotional_20140919DAILY&adid=17992 Seems like good deal. I've ordered from them before.

Welcome! Great bunch here. Once you get organized and on the road work out some tasty recipes for us that work in the traveling life. That would be great. Congrats on your new van home. Pics would be nice as you convert it.

Key lime pie for me. My love started with icebox lemon as a kid then I grew up and finally found key lime. Love it, but it doesn't love me and my Type II Diabetes. Oh well such is life.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Harbor freight to the rescue. I bought a box of metric o-rings and found a couple that may work. If they don't I'll try the Permatex Blue Gasket Maker. The spot that needs the o-ring is a reed valve plate that is part of the head assembly. It looks like in...

Being in the east I have to say the Blueridge pkwy. I took a bike trip up there in mid October, 5 years ago, and on top of Mt Mitchell it was a chilly 22 degrees. But otherwise quite comfortable. Camped out in the the NP Campsites. It's about time for another road trip. Last one was 5 years...

I don't know the names but I can eat my weight in it. :)

I have a cheap pancake compressor, made in China of course, that quit pressurizing. I'm taking really cheap, I think I paid $40-$50. It's hardly been used. Anyway being one to never throw any thing away that be fixed I took it apart. It had a pinched rubber gasket in top of the cylinder. No...

Welcome. I'm also a Floridian, since 1978. Currently living on a farm 13 miles above Bonifay, which is about 100 miles east of Pensacola. And working on an old Wanderlodge Bluebird, 1979 model. Lived most of my Florida time on the space coast. Been here about 13 or 14 years. Lots of good info...

Add Florida to the rest stop overnight parking. Then there is also the big name truck stops that allow overnight parking.

The accepted age to replace an old tire, regardless of tread depth, is 7 years. Mechilan claims that theirs will go 10 years but they need to be demounted each year and inspected. Personally I wouldn't go past 7 years on any tire. When I bought my 1979 BlueBird Wanderlodge the youngest tire...

Welcome to the group. I'm a white haired forced to retire engineer with a Bluebird Wanderlodge that needs a lot of work. Good place to be a member of.

And it will be better if you can rig up some kind of slat system to allow the mattress to breath. Otherwise the mattress will get wet underneath and mildew on the bottom.

Well it mostly was just in the pantry and my tastes had changed enough to not use it. Out of sight , out of mind kind of thing. I have stuff in the freezer I need to clean out too. Mostly old vegi stir fry combinations. I guess that's a job for today. I can use the space. Thanks all for the...
