    Insurance options for a no-build build van

    For the below I'm using the word "commercial" which in the state I'm from at least until a couple few years back meant pretty much the same thing as cargo. Something used to haul stuff in an assumed commercial capacity and at least they used to register cargo vans as commercial and required one...

    Taking a break from posting

    I'm on SSDI, the disability portion of it. The minimum age limit for it is 18 so yes do meet the age requirement the question is meeting the work portion. I can't figure out the rest with that spelling, sorry.

    New future home curiosities

    I was once looking at land in Arizona but the current issues regarding drought, wild fires, flooding and reduction of water made me change my mind. Especially the reduction of water. A lot of land is being bought up by foreign companies. For example; large areas of land around Brenda and...

    Taking a break from posting

    Just some corrections/updates on Medicare and Soc Sec. There are other conditions where you can get SS right away but she mentioned the "big 2". As far as the immediate SS for being blind, your vision must be 20/200 AFTER correction. You do not have to have total vision loss. You still have...

    New Cars are Data Privacy Nightmares

    Daniel Ellsberg(RIP) agreed with and supported what Edward Snowden did, including leaving the country. He stated that Snowden kept his oath better than anyone at the NSA did and that act of civil courage should inspire others to follow suit. I completely agree. What we have is NOT better than...

    Wiener crossed the rainbow bridge

    Yesterday we picked up her little pawprint in ceramic and some clippings from her coat. Then I started looking for another wiener. The circle of life. He said he didn't care of it was a mutt but I know better. He'll never forget the way those eyes gazed up at him...

    Wiener crossed the rainbow bridge

    It was a jacket. Replaced some Velcro with some snaps and she was still wearing it. Thank you so much! That tail didn't stop wagging until a few hours before her death. When she stopped wagging we paid closer attention because she was always very happy when Michael paid attention to her...

    Wiener crossed the rainbow bridge

    To those of you who knew my mini wiener Lily, I've some heartbreaking news to share. A few hours ago we said goodbye to her and held her as she died in our arms. While under conservative treatment for IVDD, she developed sneezing and then a few days ago coughing. This afternoon she went from...

    Buyers remorse..Seeking some guidance

    I understand your issues with cognition, etc. I have them as well. All I can tell you is NEVER, EVER bring up your mental and physical issues to them. EVER! It's your personal business and if the dealership takes you to court it will become part of public record(as well as other things...

    Safe place to park/job sort of

    It's been awesome! Street during the day and in the parking in front of his shop at night. We get to park here all day Sunday so it makes for some great gaming time now that we broke down and got Starlink. Michael puts it up on the roof and away we go! Hopefully we'll be back in AZ to stay...

    Safe place to park/job sort of

    After doing this for 5 months I thought I'd share it as an alternative for urban campers who for whatever reason, have to stay urban. I got stuck originally via medical emergency in a town that is kind of hoity-toity. They have no social safety nets of any permanence and the way this town is...

    Time for a Replacement Van. Struggling...

    I completely understand your concerns. My van is 31 years old and I'm about to turn 180k miles on it. I just keep fixing things and eventually it'll all be newer. Then I'm giving it to my uncle so he can continue his long awaited van living.

    Generator Box/Cage

    We've been using a generator on the van for awhile now and after having one stolen I'd like a more secure way to use it. Right now we use it on a storage rack plugged into a hitch on the back of the van with a heavy tow chain through the handle. I've seen a few generator cages/boxes on...
