    Lightest "useful" 12V battery?

    Just curious why moving the battery too? I thought those with suitcase solar only moved the cases? Where's the solar guys with the answers?

    Van buying locations?

    Ohio, Kentucky, and I think Tennessee, have all had recent flooding too with photos of cars in the water.

    Door math?

    Door count= number of openings for passengers in passenger van. So 2 in front, 1 or 2 on sides (barn or slider)= 3 or 4 door and back doors are cargo doors and not included. Gets used for cargo vans too. Anything else is just somebody else who doesn't know making up their own version for the...

    My buying problem

    Securing the Van while Parked: security mesh; extra internal locks, etc.

    ^^^ Yep, bear or beast, err I mean burglar, the idea really is about making your picnic basket less enticing than someone else's. :D If it's not just an opportunistic situation then nothing is going to stop the beasts, err burglars.

    dry milk anyone use it??

    The internet is our friend. Turns out Sanalac does still exist. Guess I've got more research to do. Allergies and trying to vote smartly with my dollars make it harder and harder to find some things. Wagoneer, when you report please be specific about what it is you like or don't like about...

    GIRLS' ROOM: People who want to go with you

    If I manage to get on the road I plan to have the option of a 2nd bed when needed for vacationing with my daughter. It's not something that would be apparent when looking though. Might figure a way for a hammock instead, depending. Shhhh, don't tell anyone though. :P I guess luckily all my...

    Disability question

    What kept me from following through back in 2001 was the belief that lawyers take 30%. I wish I would have known that they get 30% of retroactive pay only---not out of every check. The cap is $6k---verify that's for SSDI too to be sure. This is according to the paralegal that filled out my...

    dry milk anyone use it??

    LOL...will bear that in mind. Just wanted to add that I've always used the powdered milk in coffee like powdered creamer---skipping the mix and refrigerate step. For me it makes it easier to tweak the amount to get it where I want it. I do it the same way in baking, just adding some water to...

    dry milk anyone use it??

    I had a special coffee that I carried with me everywhere and still drank when the temps were in triple digits so I can appreciate your *habit.*  When they stopped making my coffee well, withdrawals would be accurate. :( Good to see Bob's has a dry milk.  I used to keep Sanalac dry milk around...

    Girls' Room Chit Chat Jumble Thread

    Dayum. :( That stinks as I thought there was a lot of good information in it. Guess I missed the incorrect parts when I read because all I saw were truths. :huh: I planned to give it a full reply after I got back from town since I didn't have time before. "start NOW"... :P

    Bast I'm so sad for your loss. I still miss my first fur baby as she was such an amazing companion and my first *baby.* I love that quote. :heart: I must apologize to you and Mystic and anyone else who thought I had lost my cat. I wasn't thinking when I posted. I had to give her to my...

    Mystic, aww thanks. :) Pic came through great. What a pretty kitty Kali is. :) Does she go for rides now? My first fur baby loved car rides.

    Brenda, welcome. :) I'm guessing Xena is a doggie? What a great life this seems to be for all the dogs I see doing it. :) Getting to a RTR is a common goal. I'm not in your area but I have a couple ideas that might be fruitful or give you a place to start searching. Craigslist and the local...

    Queen, what a great story. :) I can appreciate your sentiment about "as long as you left Aesop" as I have a teddy bear that my daughter gave me at the airport the first time I was traveling for classes when she was little. It took every trip with me after that so it *has* to come.

    Missed a beautiful day. Fell asleep still waiting on Disability Determination to call me back after my return of her call. Still groggy. I guess, at least I didn't sleep through the call because it never came. Hope she returns calls in the mornings as I have things I must do this week and...

    RWD/AWD is there a way...

    Thanks for all the info guys, and especially for looking up that model. I thought in original post I mentioned that I'm not buying right now. I did end up finding an AWD within easy driving distance to me that seems worth checking out. Wish I was able to get a van now as I doubt many come...

    Using Bear Proof Trash Can as Food Locker

    It was about THAT particular situation. ;) Going beyond the yuck factor, if I were someplace like that and didn't have bearproof containers I'd give serious thought to cleaning out a can, since they are available, and putting a good bag in to line it and storing my food, but needs must....

    Odor proof bags?

    ^^^LOL@full tummies. Too true that unlike other arenas that go without mention here---it's about education, not fear-mongering. As one with memory issues I know that things like muscle memory, where something is automatic for a person because of practice, are what can make a big difference in...

    Artists

    And then there are all the amateurs who artificially hold down the prices because all they care about is getting money to get more yarn.  Makes folks not want to pay the real value for quality work with quality yarn unless one finds a niche upscale market.  I can't sell my stuff for the prices I...
