    When a pet needs things like surgery…

    Thanks for responses… it’s very difficult when I only have a short time left here… Had a long night with the pup… I’m not looking for handouts and stuff like that… it’s just getting in to see someone. And I’m stuck here a couple more weeks. Just not having any luck getting answers. Like...

    When a pet needs things like surgery…

    My eight year old dog hurt her cruciate ligament. I’ve been battling things on my body. And have been patient with trying to get her in. I keep being put off. I’m in Tucson area and have brought her to Nogales at the animal hospital and on my third attempt to see the right dr… Hard to get in...

    Diesel fuel #2

    That’s why I figured pumping in the truck lanes would be the way to go. But I always had poorer performance and mileage. I don’t know if it’s the quality of diesel, the amount of bio products in it. But filling up at the auto lanes I got about two miles per gallon better. One reason why I think...

    More Countertop Questions

    Glad you pitched the peel and stick vinyl idea. My camper had fresh stuff on it when I bought it… it didn’t last a year and already had mold forming under it.

    Camping coffee bags

    If you use a press at all it’s the cleanup I didn’t like. The aero press has a stir thing that I think gives you the more expresso type coffee taste. And you make it to your taste. They show you make it with a small amount through the press and add water to your liking. One of the things I got...

    I’m glad they are not typically that bad… wow… in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area they have the agreed… being a backcountry canoe guy your assessment is true. Now if you were in the far far north… Yukon I’m talking… blackflys are what you breath… University studies are kids who are not versed...

    Diesel fuel #2

    #2 is what you’ll almost always get at the pump. If it’s number 1 or a mix of 1 and #2 it’ll say. When filling the main thing is to know that it’s taxed for road, not dyed and a certified pump. Best not to get fuel when they are filling tanks or tanks are getting low at the place your filling...

    Camping coffee bags

    What I like is the taste and ease of clean up. I started out reusing the disc a few times and still do if I’m making multiple cups. I ordered some extra filter discs and I’ll have to live a while if I’m going to use em all…

    Camping coffee bags

    T-sacs is what I used for back country travel. Now I use the Aeropress! Super easy and great coffee. Easy to clean.

    Nature Lover and friends keep in touch

    It wasn’t so much the need for a furnace but the use of my other gas appliances… Deb and Hank are a lot of fun to have around. It’s more her that has to put up with crazy me. As I wrap up the third week my patience is growing thin… But… I’m hoping we get an update on nature lover and how he’s...

    Reason - Why there such a growth in vehicle living.

    Politicians would make sure politicians don’t rock that boat. That’s their income. Lower housing cost equal lower property tax… and a bunch of other taxes… Capital gains, inheritance… Just the fact we can’t build reasonably sized homes, simpler schools and public buildings. But no… instead of a...

    Safe travels Maki… it’s a good reminder to all of us to be careful out there. Bullfrog is right about a common situation. One of the reasons I’m working on taking more time when I can start my trek home… if my sleep time doesn’t improve my daily progress is going to have to be limited… Hopefully...

    Just For Fun

    Reminds me of my dad when he first had moved up across the lake from me. I came over and he was on his deck with his note pad out by the humming bird feeders… he was trying to get their social security numbers so he could claim them because they ate so much.

    Best on the road internet these days?

    Using AT&T I rarely do not have signal. In fact where I’m at we can see the towers behind us… but there are sites where you can’t get signal enough. I bought a booster and it made a night and day difference. But hauling boats coast to coast my AT&T has been very dependable. With the few sketchy...
