    Sorting out existing antennae

    Great idea about the Bluetooth keyboard! Thanks. Something I'll keep in mind.

    interesting alternative to colander

    That's an interesting find surfer. I don't need it as I rarely eat actual mashed potatoes, more smashed than anything if going that route but cool gizmo all the same. Great reviews too. I doubt I'll even take my garlic mincer contraption as I now always smash it 15-20 min before I mince it by...

Not sure what the difference is between the 2 then, besides rebranded name and price. I'll have to...

    interesting alternative to colander

    Never knew those existed. With all the home brewing places in my neck of the woods I ought to be able to find them to try. Thx

    Renogy Promotions + Contest 4/15-4/30

    BTW - the expected reply to my comment goes as follows: (You have to get your best 1950s idealized Americana voice going in your head as you read this) "Well gosh, GypsyChic, that never occurred to us that a customer might think about it that way. No wonder our sales are lower than we thought...

    Renogy Promotions + Contest 4/15-4/30

    The firefly looks interesting but I find the 1 year warranty disconcerting. Maybe it's industry standard for that type of all in one unit but I look at warranties as the amount of faith a company has in it's product. That doesn't seem like a lot of faith to me, especially after looking at your...

    Questions to Ask Seller ?

    People are crazy. Its better to know that on the phone than wasting time looking at their vehicles. Maybe wait and save some more money so you can increase your threshold, maybe give you more options. Sounds like these vans are being sold to those who might be desperate for a running vehicle...

    Technomania or ??

    John, I like to understand the why's also. Not because I'm such a tech geek but so I can make as an informed decision as I can. I also like hearing from people with their experiences but if that experience doesn't come with why/how the product is used then it's hard to translate their...

    Not one of the cool kids...

    Nana, Just breathe. You will be fine. I jumped back onto this site in my web browser instead of using Tapatalk, as the app doesn't show signatures. I thought yours was "Think fearless" which I really liked so either I'm confused (as I can be very often) or you changed it. Either way its a...

    Heading out to AZ

    Maybe we could split this off to another thread about dealing with insects for trying to refer back to this info in the future, please mods? Someone mentioned in another thread about using lemon juice. Since I love the smell of lemons I'll try that out. Probably not very strong but I'm really...

    Sorting out existing antennae

    AT - on the link above to RV Sue's antenna for her Verizon jetpack she says that's all she uses is the antenna, not amplifier like the sleek. I think it's in the comments section. It's also written that an amplifier would help boost a weak signal, just a Bob has stated. If I'm looking at things...

    Take 2: more room = more adventures!

    Best of luck Bitty! I hope the transition goes smoothly so you have time and energy to focus on living, even thriving, instead of just surviving. Keep us updated as you can. I wonder about you when you are away too long.

    EI/MCS/Chemical reactivity /COPD

    This thread has been most helpful! So many ideas & thoughts come up from reading the last few posts but I'm to tired 2 type them out now but will respond at length later. I understand the concern Ella. Take baby steps, have redundant safety measures, do your research - all which it seems like...

    interesting alternative to colander

    My mom taught me that years ago. She used a mesh thing that layed flat but could be gathered instead of a towel until the mesh became rusty after years of use. I started with the towel. I bet the flat mesh item is now updated to silicone. I'll have to keep my eye open for one. But I love my...

    Doing America, free documentary on hulu

    Don't worry. You're not the only one on this forum to see that. I never saw it until it was pointed out to me. But, yeah, very bad title for a documentary. I'll have to check it out once I decide how best to deal with data/internet/WiFi etc if I remember by then :-)

    Technomania or ??

    OK ditched the cable & cable internet to save money. Obviously cell data use would go up. No problem, I'll use free WiFi a little, it'll balance out. Stuck in bed sick for foreseeable future so could just get cable back BUT if I put money toward options that would work both current circumstances...

    Sorting out existing antennae

    Bob, is there any chance you have done a blog post with your set-up that you discuss in this thread. Your blog posts usually do a great job at breaking info down and showing pictures which really helps me. I used to be able to read specs and understand stuff but not so much anymore. Now I need...

    New Here, but Have Been Doing for Years to a Degree!

    Having dealt with the disappearing words a few times recently I've developed a new strategy for when I'm using my phone. If I think it's going to be a post that will take me a while then I type the post in my email program. It automatically saves so I don't have to worry about losing my post if...

    Ideal van dwelling climates

    Living in an apartment over the past few years in Portland, OR I can say I really don't mind the winters. Not nearly as gray or rainy as I had thought they'd be. That being said I do think this past winter especially has been unusually dry for the region and we'll see some ramifications if it...

    Building Arabella

    When a friend scrapped my van for me (I hadn't purchased my 1/2 face respirator mask yet and the disposal n95 masks weren't cutting it to keep my asthma and MCS at bay. Yes, I owe her big time!) she used a plastic pumpkin scoop IIRC. BTW- she was fine the next day but 2 days later she was in...
