    Ever Use Carsdirect.com When Buying a Van?

    T just to let you know the site is a little cumbersome to use but I found it's still worth looking at. BTW I checked your blog out and it looks great. I really liked that poem you put on it....and I'm not one who usually likes poems.

    why would a van with 132k miles need tranmission rebuild?

    The interior is incredible! I would be curious to know how all that scraping and denting happened. My guess on the transmission problem is the van was badly abused and hauling too much for the transmission to handle. So I would also have serious doubts about the engine lasting much longer...

    Ever Use Carsdirect.com When Buying a Van?

    I've never seen this website mentioned but then again I have only been a member for a little less than a year. I always look around on craigslist and that seems to be the go to website for the members here. After comparing the two sites and what they have to offer I like carsdirect (even though...

    Somebody Turned Me In

    Swift has a hell of a grand palace just up the road from here. Right on the ocean in toney Watch Hill RI. Won't ever see her in a van full time.....

    Interested in Birding or hiking and nature?

    I'm a passive bird watcher. I can spot and identify many but you won't find me searching out opportunities to go birding. Some get into it so much they even know each bird's call.

    NEW OFF GRID TV SHOW LOOKING FOR OFF GRIDDERS

    Personally I would do something like this but only if there were a way to be anonymous afterwards. The one concern is making it so hard to go back to the life you want to have.

    alaska

    I always wondered how bad the mosquitoes really were in AK. Texans think they have a lot but not compared to the northeast as far as I was concerned. I guess it must be relative to what you are use to....

    not so much a food

    I know from having worked in the pool industry they use it in the filters. So I always thought it would have to be safe in case it was accidentally ingested.

    fishing, what the story?

    The licensing fees are horrible and set up to take advantage of nonresidents. Unless you're willing to take a chance getting caught I'd forget about fishing. You could set up a trip line to catch fish just be careful no one is around when you visit it. Taking a dog with you to detect anyone near...

    Thoughts on this Chevy Astro?

    I think you're right Cyndi but not sure if a leak wouldn't get by an inspection. Lived in both states and both are very tough about standards. Here in RI not so bad.....

    Astro vs Standard Van Comparison Pictures

    I looked at Astros too. Room wasn't that bad but obviously less than a standard cargo van. The big hang up for me was the gas mileage wasn't that much better so the extra room is worth losing 1 - 2 MPG and going with the standard sized cargo van.

    Musing

    I always liked this one: Yeah I was just talking to this guy and when I turned around there he was gone! I grew up in a town full of French Canadians and they always reminded me of the comedian Norm Crosby when they spoke like this.

    How do you define success?

    I can say from what my observations have been while working with the dying that this happens often. If I had to pick just one of the best lessons I've learned from them it would be to make sure you leave as little unsaid and undone before time runs out.

    50 years ago

    Lt. Calley if anyone of the younger crowd would like to look this up. His reason for massacring the entire village including women and infants was he was following orders. The same excuse was given by SS soldiers when asked why they slaughtered people at the concentration camps. On the...

    Vapor Barrier

    That's one of the best answers I've seen...... thank you Off Grid. Seeker that tub you're soaking in must be freezing cold! I'm from the north and that would be a little rough for me.

    Vapor Barrier

    Exhaling is one of the top ways we lose water but a good vent fan will take care of most of it and any other forms of moisture as well. However, it seems to me the biggest problem is the skin of the vehicle temperature gradients that cause moisture within a closed space that will eventually form...

    2 acres for $1,314 in Helena Arkansas?

    I once saw a property that looked great. When I got there it had power lines running across it, a huge substation and on the adjacent properties run down homes that made the area look like a Deliverance scene. It's like Internet dating...... the pictures are not very accurate.
