    Any Graphic Designers Out There-Have a Question

    It can be tough. When digital became a part of Graphic Design the low end came up in quality and the high end came down. Although knowing how to operate and utilize the technology is important it is not ultimately the only service you need to offer to clients. You need to also understand how to...

    Buying Prescription Drugs in Mexico.

    Thanks for the replies. So it seems like I can buy prescriptions there and would not need a current written prescription. From what I am able to understand it would be limited to a 3 month supply at each crossing of the border. I found a video Bob made (a few years ago) where he did that...

    Buying Prescription Drugs in Mexico.

    I know people here travel across the border for dental work. Do some also buy prescription drugs from pharmacies in Mexico? Do you need a written prescription from a doctor either to purchase at the pharmacy or to bring the prescription drugs back into the U.S. ? Is there a limit to the amount...

    Why do fools fall in love?

    What do you mean by "that route" ?

    An excellent article about the various reasons people live in vehicles.

    Interesting article, its easy to pre-judge people you aren't familiar with. It also illuminates some of the problems of perception and legality of living in a vehicle, pretty much all along the spectrum. I feel like I'm potentially in the middle class of vehicle dwellers. Have worked for over...

    Haircuts

    I'm probably overly concerned with hair style for a guy. I remember as a kid how cool the Beatles and their hair was. At the time my dad used the clippers to give me a crewcut. I remember how disappointing that was and still cringe when I hear the sound of the electric clippers. Buzzzzz... When...

    Anyone travel with a guitar?

    What do you plug that into to be able to hear it? How is it powered?

    Anyone travel with a guitar?

    I saw an interview with Steve Earl regarding the instruments and gear he brings on the road with him. He brought along a Martin acoustic guitar finished in black, made entirely of mahogany, the way their models were made during WW2 due to wood shortages and also the modern 15 series guitars. His...

    Anyone travel with a guitar?

    Interested in bringing a guitar with me in the van. I've found good sound makes me play more often and for longer. Ease of play as well. I have a Martin D-16 I'm thinking of bringing with me. Sold wood, mohogany with a spruce top. It had a bridge that was pulling up when I bought it. That...

    Renting/Leasing an RV camping site

    I am currently staying with family in California just east of the Bay Area. I searched craigslist out of curiosity and found many offering a place to park an RV, but at rates that would net you a luxury domicile in most other parts of the country. $2k plus in some cases. The cost of housing has...

    Preparing cabinet to install oven

    Thanks Crofter. The ThermoTec might provide some peace of mind.

    Preparing cabinet to install oven

    Thanks Tradesman. That is the only info I can find in the pamphlet that came with the range. The clearances above the burners, which seems obvious. So I take it you have installed, or built cabinets to install this type of rv range, without any insulation and this has led to use of said range...

    Preparing cabinet to install oven

    I emailed the manufacturer, and this is their response: "So unfortunately Dometic can not advise for you to do any of that as that could be come a safety issue.  You would want to see a service center about putting something like that into your unit."

    Preparing cabinet to install oven

    I bought an RV Range, stove, oven combo. I'm wondering if I need to heat proof the cabinet I'm building for it?  I saw some videos where people are installing Camp Chef ovens in vans, which are made for outdoor use, and they have gone as far as using a layer of cement board spaced 1/2" off the...

    Camp Chef Stove/Oven Combo

    The Camp Chef stove/ovens are designed for outdoor use, so they take some care to install inside. The exterior surfaces carry the heat generated by the oven. A stove/oven designed to be installed in a cabinet in an RV has insulation to prevent all of the heat being transferring to the exterior...

    What do you do when the law is involved?

    Having moved from California to Mississippi and being preyed upon by the local police constantly stopping me and using any possible tactic to part me from my money, I found that local jurisdiction is important. Despite movies such as "My Cousin Vinny" I believe a lawyer needs to be registered to...

    America's Mailbox or Escapee's

    Americas Mailbox offers a way to have the address show as a street address which works for most everything. I also remember if you ask the Postmaster at most USPS Post Offices, there is a way to do that with most any PO Box. I believe it is the street address of the Post Office and use your 4...

    A place for humorous vandwelling-related pictures

    Saw this at a BLM Campground off Highway 395 east of the sierras in the Owens Valley, California. The guy had bought it many years ago from a guy who worked at an aircraft plant in the 50s. Said it had a Cadillac motor and drivetrain.

    Beaded Curtains

    I remember riding in vans with beaded curtains in the 70s. Mostly tied in towards the walls as accidents spilling beads all over happened other wise. Better buy some incense if you decide to go that way. Maybe a Ravi Shankar album as well.
