Hospitals - I'm glad I thought of that, but parking might be a bit iffy. Have to clean up to go in a place like that. Good thought though.

Thanks for your reply/comments. My part did not show up today but I did get a update from Amazon saying it would arrive on the 11th or 12th. More. I did remove the old board and was able to bypass the board enough to check out the rest of the system both electric and gas. Both worked. Brought...

Didn't get far! Ok, I had good intentions. Sleeping was fitful but was able to sleep some. Breakfast did not go well. Some time after I stopped for the night, my fridge stopped working. I poked around to see why not and found that I did not bring the needed tools. Back home again and have...

Been thinkin' again. I've spent lots of time over the past couple of years with this knot in my stomach. I don't think it's going away ever. Thinking back over many years, I do remember seeing other women and admiring them, after all I was still a man, but never, ever acted on those thoughts...

Hey kiddo. There you are. A little planning (looking ahead) . Here is a heads up for ya. You are going to be alone (lots). Time will pass slowly (very slowly). Get outside. If your legs work ok, poke around where you find yourself. Look closely at everything. Bugs, bark, plants, grass, take...

Some thoughts about "love". When I met my wife over 60 years ago, I used words like Love but now I realize that the bottom line was lust along with liking many of the same things especially being free of controlling older adults, church, community and just rules. She and I wanted to make our own...

Agree. Old man here. Now at 83 years of age, Measuring time till MY end. Alone now for just over 2 years. Once in a while one of the older ladies stops to share a coffee with me and i do enjoy a woman's sound and smell. When that time passes, I think back over the years with my wife. No one will...

More thinkin Originally (couple of years ago) I thought I needed some insight into living after my wife died. How others lived. My reason for day to day living HAD been focused on day to day responsibilities and challenges. being a husband and father, a provider. I never looked too far ahead...

I didn't miss the chat room, just didn't have anything to contribute at that time.......But now i do! Bought a new deep cycle battery. Last one was 6 years old and didn't work well enough so for $68 I bought a new one. (bigger than the last one). Found out that the box it should have fit in was...

Nah? Talking to yourself is a sign of mental health, It's when you begin an argument that you need to worry.

I am testing out my fridge tonight. Just put two refilled propane tanks on the nose and a new deep cycle battery. Temp is still going down to below freezing at night. I don't have any idea where I'm going. Just away; till I find a place to park for free. Eat, Sleep. Everyone seems to think that...

Typing a lot of words without saying anything. Is hard work. I know, lets just think things and if some one finds fault they can give everyone a "time out". or just delete you. I know opinion is not allowed so i don't have one. Facts? Poof. It's in a book but who reads books any more. (Just...

interesting. just eavesdropping. I know it's rude, but it just happened. coffee just finished perking. In case your interested, but your not, I got 90 pounds of propane yesterday. going to turn on the valves today and see if the fridge works. Cost me $xx.xx. I'm thinking about putting on some...

you right. gonna leave that to the big boys. like nasa and universities. Getting too old to be doing heavy lifting anyway. got some pickle jars from a local bar. using hot wire to cut the bottom out to make a chimney for a 1000 watt tube (CX 1500) to keep it cool. Still working on the heater...

apples are nice to look at but taste better. News--- I've been building a strong electro magnet in my garage. 24 x 40 feet. fired it up last night for the first time. Bad idea. Anything ferrous within several feet was effected. (and further) All my loose tools snapped to both poles, blew a 100...

oh crap. I've been studying about light photons, trying to do experiments to prove that photons take up space. To me it is obvious that light can be influenced by gravity (bent), that those photons must take up space. those photons do travel (move) at a speed (probably the speed of light). To my...

Yes study your head off: along with study, experiment. The ability to understand what you read about will become more understandable but will also uncover more questions. take a straight piece of wire, a high value resister in series with a low voltage battery and a compass. The wire will become...

you spoke of various 11 meter equipment. The input wattage of those units were about 4 or 5 watts. generally speaking that mean a loss of about 35 to 40 percent. The actual output power in usable wattage would generally be 3.5 watts with further feed line loss depending on length and type of...

About Morse code The code requirement was WORK and took practice over time. When one had to work at anything, what ever it was gave value to the endeavor. FREE things have no value. So the removal of the code requirement demished the the value of the ham radio license. In addition, Other...

Straight forward? Yes! Dating by nature is short term. A first glance. My plan is to look and actually do my best to see. So I am going to choose where to look for a suitable companion. My wife died two years ago. She was perfection. I was never alone, even when I was away at work. Men work. If...
