    Women Only: I am speechless.

    OK.. probably TMI forthcoming.. lol When I was in my RV I decided to 'test' the waters before van traveling. I purchased a dollar store OIL changing Funnel, the one with the long tube, and an angled top. I stood, funneled into empty large cat litter jug. Things went pretty good. I don't...

    Heat/cool with small generator?

    You've probably already done what you're gonna DO.. BUT.. My 2cents... I installed a similar unit in my 'granny Cabin'. I LOVE it.. BUT.. NO WAY would I attempt to power that sucker on the road. I had to have TWO 30 AMP breakers JUST for the A/C. So.... yeah. Might want to consider chopping...

    How DID I Get Here?

    So, a new year has come and is going!  During Thanksgiving holidays my youngest son's fiancé died.  That sucked.  Both he and his older brother were IN the hospital room as they revived her 5 times, and were ultimately somewhat traumatized.  Sometimes life lets you know why you've had certain...

    How DID I Get Here?

    Wow. It's been a while. Here's the 'short' version: The move this summer; I injured my 'good' knee, so still hobbling... ouch/grr. Got some pain pills but use gingerly. The big news: Dec. 19th my beautiful mid century modern house in another town decided to commit suicide by catching...

    How DID I Get Here?

    Pt.2 The situation with the dogs has been pretty fluid this last 90 days. Maggie, the cat injuring dog is gone finally. It was tough, and I missed her a LOT.. but she HAD to go. During the interim, Jenny the white slightly neurotic Pitbull I rehomed 5 months ago, came back to me from a shelter...
