    Adoption from Shelter When You Are "Homeless"

    Why not get them before they go to the shelter... Our last dog came from a cardboard box in a walmart parking lot. The one before came from a family that was going to take the remainder of the litter to the pound. In addition to craigslist, check the local facebook sale page and you will often...

    BobBski 2017..

    Thanks for the info on Indianola. I usually hang out around Rockport and Port Aransas but they've gotten busy and fancy. Indianola is not far from there so I can visit it too. Maybe I'll have myself a new hang out place.

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    Are you talking about what happened at the build?  Bob and the RTR has nothing to do with the build.

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    For me, even if the victim had said the perp's name in a video, I would never use his or her name in a post or put a link to a video showing their face. Unfortunately, doing so makes it more difficult to inform women (and men) of "people to be watchful of". I'd hope the community could...

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    Cindi. I'm going to disagree with you on keeping van doors closed and locked. I'm not going places so I can stay in my van. Part of the fun is opening the van to the outdoors. An open door is NOT an invitation to being assaulted and it never will be.

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    I'm disappointed in: the assaulter who did it, the victim who didn't report it, and the build host who didn't kick him out of the area. A whole group of women must now be on the watch for this criminal. A whole population who must be uncomfortable around him. Why not kick him out so women can...

    weighing vehicles in Alamogordo, NM

    Yes the space museum is. Don't forget White Sands and hanging out in the Sacramento mountains. On the weekends Sunspot observatory is open. For children of the 50s and 60s space race it is an awesome piece of history.

    weighing vehicles in Alamogordo, NM

    Want to weigh your mobile dwelling and you are passing through Alamogordo, NM?  I weighed my van yesterday and it was fast and easy.  I began by filling the gas tank so future weighing would be more accurate. Kent Kwik Truck Center (Texaco) across from Lowe's Hardware.  Take the entrance that...

    Heating when you can't afford a Mr. Buddy

    ive read in the past that old school tenters suggest that if you wake up because you are cold, make hot chocolate.

    Load D vs Load E van tires

    I double checked the door. Definitely a D. Alamogordo has a public scale and I will be going there to weigh it before I buy tires. Went over to discount tire. They had only one off road load e tire on site. Then I went home and looked online. They have quite a few more there, I just...

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    When I make a stop after driving for a couple of hours, I limp badly. This makes me look vulnerable so I do behind the wheel calisthenics about five minutes before I stop. Quick, easy, free. That way when I step out I do it without a limp. I walk fast and confident.

    Load D vs Load E van tires

    Got a 17', 1997 Dodge 3500 class b high top which needs new tires.  I'm near a Walmart and Discount Tire plus a couple of local tire stores in Alamogordo, NM.  It has a back 2" hitch where I would put a cargo carrier before I'd think about pulling a trailer.  I'd probably be driving 70% highway...
