    Eco Cooler - zero electricity air cooler

    I didn't think much of the results.. OR.. um.. You know.. when you blow out air from your lungs w/mouth completely open; it's coming from deep within and is WARM (from diaphragm).. when you just purse your lips and blow.. well.. it's just what's in your mouth and not so hot. How do I know...

    How DID I Get Here?

    June 8, 2016 Began to build out the 'basement' area of the Sienna for keeping the batteries in one place.  If I knew more about angle cuts I could have been done in 15 less trips between shop and van!  When  the correct cut was finally made, it was like a party!!!  What's that saying about...

    Womens rtr?

    Thank you for posting that, so we can keep checking on it! ::) Last year it was flooded much much worse. At any rate, my place is/will still be available, although it IS for 'boondock' type parking.  Two places, two blocks apart: Pond lots = no utilities; My RV lots a little water only...

    Want to downsize but has anyone had second thoughts?

    Oh, man.. as Usual, I started blabbing and forgot the important part: YES! I think all the time about how I would feel if I finally got down to just the minivan + minimal supplies. EeeeeK! That's why I agree practice is good! My appreciation to all those who came before me/us that HAD to do...

    having issues being alone

    Agreed!  In my early 20s before I had kids, I spent a couple of years in LA working downtown.  I was once interviewed in a 'man on the street' type situation.  The question they were asking:  "What do you fear most about getting old?".  My answer: "Being alone". It's actually funny to me now...

    Want to downsize but has anyone had second thoughts?

    Hi TheKatewels! :) Three years ago I hired a living estate sale lady, took what I wanted, rented my house, and moved to a lot near a lake to my 5th wheel. I have since gotten a better (TREED) lot on a pond (in same hood) and planning on either moving the 5th wheel there, or finishing out my...

    Womens rtr?

    I've created a poll for possible dates of GO/RTR if at my place. I have only included fall, because I just don't trust the weather from Jan-May anymore. Last year it rained for 8 months straight, and so far this spring the storms we HAVE had were TOTALLY frightening storms/flooding. (Don't...
