    I didn't see anything in that link about border checkpoints, it mentioned voluntary self-quarantining. You can cut down on visits to high traffic stores by using home delivery or curbside pickup, plus online shopping. Walmart home deliveries are free for orders over $35.

    Fire, hungry predators

    Yeah, it's been some years, but there was the kid in Idaho Springs who was jogging and the lion jumped on him from behind. Then there was the gal who was jogging in the hills above Boulder, I think it was, and the lion was tracking her from behind and she climbed up a tree. Lions seem to like...

    Bread machine

    Yeah, not being a real cook, I should imagine high heat is necessary to create the crusty exterior. Crusty is the major difference between most bread sold in the stores in the US and what is sold in europe. Over "there", you can buy a loaf of bread and carry it around in your backpack for 3 or 4...

    Looks to me like the owner meant the van to be free for the taking, but some wiseguy came along and wrote "Ammo" underneath. I'd have written "Target", given what shape the van appears to be in.

    Bread machine

    Is the requirement for high heat due to the flax and oats? FWIW, I also make corn bread in the crockpot, besides biscuits and muffins (and veggies and soup). And it's also difficult to overcook things too. I did cook the lentils for too long, first experience, but they were still yummy with...

    Fire, hungry predators

    Yeah, not surprising there may be mountain lions up in Prescott or other areas of AZ with woods at higher elevations. If there are deer, there will no doubt be lions. That's why I said "desert" AZ, lol. And yer best bet is, just don't go smearing bacon grease on yer body.

    Bread machine

    With both the biscuits and muffins in the crockpot, I make one big "loaf", like the picture of my friend's bread that I posted. I think you have to admit that her crockpot bread looks very good. I line the bottom of the Stoneware insert in the crockpot with aluminum foil. She has some sort of...

    Put up some sort of simple fence, and a sign saying "Don't trample the roses, they've been through enough already".

    Earth. Probably not a good idea to advertise one's specific location on the internet. Especially in these times.

    Fire, hungry predators

    I've spent many decades going into the back country in the west, and not even seen a bear or mountain lion in the wild. And only ever seen 3 rattlesnakes. There is some good info in the links below. http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/livingWithWildlife/mountainLions...

    Bread machine

    I have a small 1 1/2 qt crockpot slow cooker that I use to make Bisquick biscuits and muffins, both made from complete mix packages. Just add water, plus oil or butter for the muffins. Takes a little over an hour to cook on the high setting, 120W.  I do have a friend who uses the crockpot for...

    Stealth camping in Lake Havasu City?

    Probably not the case. The guy living in a tent 150' away for the previous 3 months said station wagon man was just weird, wouldn't even say hello, even though he had a tongue.

    Fire, hungry predators

    Mountain lions like to attack "moving" prey (aka humans) from behind. When I lived in Colorado, there were 2 instances of this. In one case, the lion jumped on a kid from above as he ran by, in the other it tracked a female jogger who climbed up a tree to get away. Mountain lions are one of the...

    ISO Cheap Land – No Restrictions - RVs Permitted

    I looked on the map at Tres Piedras. Someone laid out a huge grid of roads in anticipation of a city in the high desert, never materialized, only a scattered house here and there. So no doubt land is cheap. Take a fur coat. https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6608699,-105.9142084,8835m/data=!3m1!1e3

    ISO Cheap Land – No Restrictions - RVs Permitted

    If you're gonna settle down in a nice warm S&B, then Colorado is ok. I don't think I'd want to buy land and then live on it in an RV, unless it was big and had a "very" good furnace. Front Range may be warmer now. But I remember shoveling many feet of snow every winter and melt-freeze was a big...

    ISO Cheap Land – No Restrictions - RVs Permitted

    Weather patterns are interesting. I lived in the CO Front Range for 20 years, at 5,000', and we would get brutal winters with many feet of snow.  OTOH, once you move further west to NorCal and Oregon, on the eastern side of the mountains at 5,000' and so, there is much less snow and much milder...

    ISO Cheap Land – No Restrictions - RVs Permitted

    Hmmm. interesting. Some years ago when I was living in Front Range Colorado, I remember reading how a lot of old New Mexican drug runners and commune people from the 60s and 70s settled in the Tres Pedras area because you could buy land for cash with no questions asked. LOL. There was that big...

    Can't play the video. Did youtube suddenly change something in regards watching videos, or is my browser just screwing up for some reason? The viewing portion of the screen is black and the go-button has disappeared. Duh.
