    24/7 Chat About Anything

    Some people were saying that 20 years ago. Hasn't happened yet.

    Furnaces created equal?

    $2000 ÷ $130 = 15 (the number of El Cheapo heaters you can buy for the price of one Webasto).

    24/7 Chat About Anything

    You may not have one. I currently have an old 1988 beater Chevy Cheyenne that was put together from spare parts. I received one of those warranty notices a few months ago. Just another donation for the paper recycling bin.

    It's desert. It's expected.

    Moisture Barrier for Laminate Flooring

    Mount the plywood on slats going from front to back, leaving the ends open for air movement.

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    I come from at least three generations of narcissistic sociopaths. I'm (relatively) normal. GUESS what I attract?

    Homelessness [split from Leadville and Salida Ranger Districts]

    There's a huge difference between true homelessness and alcohol/drug addiction... I wish they would separate it.

    Your experience with all-electric vans

    My cynical thoughts: Most of the "science" that I see offered seems to have sources that provide it for 1) Money, or 2) Mind Control. Or both. Politicians lie like rugs, and most of the benefits go straight to them. If one of them tells me that the sun came up this morning, I would step...

    Do you feel less stable in a hightop van?

    Driving in high winds can be begging for trouble. If you're living in a van, what's the hurry if you wait a day or two? Some people think their standard height van won't be a problem. Well, what do you think could happen if you're in the right lane, and an empty semi is passing you when it...

    Sleeping with the door open

    The most important conditions to consider are the ones surrounding YOU, at the time. And to keep in mind that you are not special, God is not going to protect you under all circumstances, and that bad things can happen to anyone.

    Your experience with all-electric vans

    When people fighting over a charging spot makes the national news, it's probably a good indicator that long-distance travel isn't a good idea.

    Flooding Help

    Get a box of DampRid, used for removing moisture from places like closets. This is probably best used as a finishing method, after using some of the suggestions above. Don't put it directly on the carpet or seats. Either spread it on a couple of trays, or among empty flat containers (like...

    My first month on the road.

    Some really bad things have happened to people who routinely think, "Oh, it will be all right -- just keep going". I lived in Las Vegas, NV for 5-6 years, driving limo. The number of people who refused to listen to that little voice was incredible. Vegas is in a valley, surrounded by hills or...

    OREGON '23...............Postcards from the Road

    To repel rodents, my first thought is a cat or dog, and a roll of fencing to circle the vehicle. Have a separate strip along the top that flexes inward to discourage climbers. Yes, the bulk would be a nuisance, but how much does damage repair cost, in comparison?

    New Cars are Data Privacy Nightmares

    I seriously doubt that data collectors think or worry about anything except profit. And I'm sure they sell it to anyone who pays them. And if criminal entities find a way to connect 'harmless' information to your seriously private info, they won't worry, they will just raise the price, because...

    New Cars are Data Privacy Nightmares

    I was reading that those idiotic automatic car door unlocks (which let strangers into your car) can be turned off. Maybe these InfoStealers can be turned off, too.
