But you're mistaken. I do show not only my face but the rest of me as well. I can't recall where I was, but I got another driver to take my picture in the parking lot. I think a Walmart warehouse. I'm not gripping about what others do or don't do. I just refuse to live in fear myself. Today, I...

Really gun shy about credit cards. I'm going to my bank who I've been with for 60 years and discus the idea with the lady that has taken care of me for many years. Thank you for your input Ken

I've been watching cheap rv living for some time now. I see mostly interviews and unboxing stuff, although I have seen camp ground reviews and so on, mostly van living and very remote places to camp where I won't be able to go or those with big ol' motor homes, those with unlimited funds to live...

Now ya see - that message about Walmart had some meat to it. Of course I'm a bit nervous- but I'm a guy so taking a chance on the unknown Is what I've always done. At the end of it all we all push up daisy's anyway. Thank you so much Ken

Thinkin again ? Well, I've been outside, sitting on the steps, It's dark out, stars look nice. --Oh-- It's almost 3am and just poured my last cup of coffee for the night, too lazy to make another pot. Here is some news - some one got my bank card number and did three hits for over $200, Called...

OK---Ok I get it. Sort of. I tried to trim my beard outside with shirt off. Scared the neighbors dog. It's longer on one side than the other, Always did have trouble with balancing on one foot. I got notification that my inverter gen will be here on Friday, Meanwhile, I fussed around with the...

Dude or Daudet: I looked in the bathroom mirror. Scared the hell out of me. Some old guy was looking back at me. I recovered from the fright short of a heart attack. I've decided that I'll just singe the really long ones off with my pipe lighter and be done with it. There are three "dollar"...

I did a test run today. After a lot of fussing around, I did a 6 mile test run today. Here is what I found out. Put everything away. strap it down. Even small things tend to move. Tire pressure is important, all around. Even small differences from side to side, need to be even from side to side...

Been thinking again as usual, Just a little update. Getting close to time for leaving. I got the new wires for the back end of my pickup installed and all works fine, even backup lights and license plate lights work now. Still one turn signal to get working on the trailer. Solar is working fine...

been thinking. I've been reading lots of comments on here about "relationships". Here is my way of looking at these things and of course, I have opinions like everyone else. No facts, just opinion. Short update: wife of 62 years up and died on me. Like so many old men like me, I have depended on...

Me too--- It snowed a bit today. More like sleet (mix of rain and snow) As you all can see, I've changed the picture that displays along with my bla bla stuff Hard to do. It's been over two years now. So here I am alone in the middle of now where heading to more no where. Learned how to fry an...

I make great coffee, well It didn't make me sick but I am awake. Got chewed out for rambling about the past so, here is todays happenings. Got dog and cat to the vet for shots. Poked two of my fingers with a screw driver and made them bleed but continued on anyway. Also stumbled and tipped over...

Me too. I'm really old. Today was the day I finished my solar set up. Not sure It's going to be enough but I think so. I've been making my own meals here in my camper trailer. Lots of failures (yuk). but you can't hurt hamburger enough to call the health department. Like you, down sizing is...

Got my butt chewed today. Just unloading as usual. Enough of that. Today, the dent in the right front trailer corner was bugging me so I got to work on it. Not a pro job when done but water proof and looking more or less straight. One or two more screws to finish up tomorrow. Still have to...

Another comment about reading voltages to determine battery condition. Every test point must use the same measuring devise, Controller display vs hand held meter at battery connection. There are wires that have an internal resistance, So from one end to the other will be different and the...

600 watts of solar panels are never actually 600 watts. usually less by a small amount even under ideal conditions. Batteries are never exactly the same. There is a device called a "BMS" that you can buy that will take that difference into consideration so that each battery is charged equally...

I've got four 100 watt panels on the roof of my trailer, fed into 3 deep cycle flooded 12 volt batteries via a 20 amp MPPT controller that I bought on Amazon as a kit. (approximately $500) Batteries were an additional $200. Cables and clamps, water proofing, screws and so on were about another...

keep it simple DC current using large welding cable and a simple amp and volt meter with a known load, say a toaster that can be forced into the on mode over time. Mine is 1k (one thousand watts}. P (power In watts} divide I (amps) equal R resistance). (I X E =P in watts) (E divide I = R...

I am aware of the long laps of log in time but I just had the over powering urge to write something, I was excited about some long term plans coming together. I live alone - since my wife died, I have no one to talk to and be excited with. Of course I could just go out and talk to myself I...
