    I have $20 and a half tank of gas

    On the eggs. Put the suspect in a pan of water. If egg floats get rid of it. Water has to cover the egg. As an egg goes bad it off gases, which causes the egg to float off the bottom. I keep eggs well past the experation date in refrigeration, up to 2 months with no problem. Once they get...

    Who's behind your user name

    I'm a SciFi fan and watched Lost In Space as a kid. Back when it was black and white. No particular history to it. I'm 68, male and lost anyway so the name fits. I finally retired about a month ago. Will be gradually restoring a 1979 Bluebird Wanderloge on my farm. I hope to strap my...

    If your not cooking, What is your favorite food place?

    Well I haven't seen Hardy's mentioned. They are best for breakfast. I don't care for their burgers particularly. Their biscuits are the best around for breakfast sandwiches. In my opinion Mickey D's has gone downhill. When I have a burger now and then I regret it. Another good one is What A...

    State Inspections: Beware your modifications that confuse the simple minded.

    Or make Florida your residence state and don't worry about an inspection. They got rid of them back in the 80's. And no income tax either.

    which adapter to use

And remember when you plug it in to the load, radio, the voltage will drop as the brick adapters are unregulated. The radio probably has some voltage...

    The Conversion of "Freedom" , our permanent bus home...

    Not sure what state you're in but in Florida you have to have a toilet, stove (which can be a Coleman camper stove) and a sink. Then you register as an RV. My liability insurance through Progressive is $160 a year for $50K liability. I'm not going to do collision till I get it fixed up nice...

    Exploding porta potty???

    In our trip to Mexico back in the mid seventies, we towed our "Lovebug", a Fiberglas egg trailer. We had a porta potty, it slipped under the front bunk bed. Well in the middle of Mexico, headed north toward Mexico city, I had to go pretty bad. Pulled over to the side of the road, went to the...

    Florida Gathering

    Hi all. Maybe I can make it. As I'm still working at the moment I'm kinda limited to a long weekend or something. I live on the weekends 13 miles above Bonifay. And work in Tallahassee during the week. So Ocala is a possibility.
