    Charger for my T-105 RE Batteries

    Sternwake, thank you. That was the model I wanted, the 14.8, and I knew you had mentioned it but I couldn't find it. Though your link went to a '404 error,' I did find the PD9245C 14.8 model on Best Converter's website, and the warnings from the company about authenticity, so I'll order through...

    Reflectix & getting caught by the cold

    I read recently where a fellow added a bit of reflectix inside his bed covers just around his feet and that plus a good head cover helped warm up his whole body considerably.

    Frustration setting in

    Do you use Excel?  You could start a 'Van' workbook. I started one when I knew I was going to buy a van.  It kept me very motivated between then, the actual purchase, and get-in-and-go time, and I still use it cuz I'm not done. Some of my worksheets include:   Design (I used the 'Insert...
