    Living near the rail roads

    I've found that railroad employees will report you. If I park along a railroad to train dogs on private land joining a railroad, We will be reported by the employees. They drive along the side and all uo and down the tracks. They often leave equipment exposed, and most of all they don't want...

    Ever been caught/harassed?

    In Texas my friend and I were planning on sleeping in our Tent/Cots next to my pickup truck late at night. We were not there long when law enforcement showed up. He was being a real butt. He kept asking the same question two times. He called for reinforcements and told us that he received a...

    wallmart vs. amazon

    I hate Wal Mart (Wall-Apart). I do shop there sometimes, but I'm tired of bottom quality Chinese junk. If quality doesn't matter I'll go there. I'm an Amazon fan all of the way. I'm a Prime Member. Christmas shopping is easy. Just order it. They wrap it and send a card with my personal...

    UV protective shirt for driving

    I've never gotten a sun burn through any clothes.  ( I'm pure Irish and red headed).  I don't get sun burns while driving with the windows up either.  Modern window tinting filters UV rays.  To me it seems un-natural to block all sun.  We get vitamin D from sun. J.O.

    How difficult is MIG welding?

    One thing about welding is that you have to maintain proficiency.  If you don't weld allot, you won't do a very good job.  True welders have a habit of inspecting each others work.  That is why I hire it done.  There are too many factors to consider.  Clean material, access, Metal thickness,rod...

    UFO Problem

    This sounds like a great question for the radio show "Click and Clack The Tappit Brothers" Sometimes a wire rubs on the frame or any other piece of metal causing a short circuit, or maybe two wires are rubbing together.  Like others have said sometimes just moving wire bundles so they no longer...

    First trip to Quartzite

    I'm looking into that option.  It would be nice to at least maintain the battery charge on the road.  I also have the Renogy Solar Suitcase, but I'm not sure 100 watts is enough knowing that the refrigerator draws 3.6 Amps by itself and the Renogy Max Operating amps 5.7.  I'm considering two 6...

    First trip to Quartzite

    Yes, I too have the same enough panels.  My refrigerator is a 1.6 cubic foot Norcold ac/dc unit.  I'm not sure how many amps it requires, but other than that the electricity is only used for lights, fans, water pump and occasionally tv/radio.  I can borrow a 2000 watt generator, but I really...

    First trip to Quartzite

    I bought a teardrop trailer and plan to make my first trip to Quartzite this year.  I plan to add 2 golf cart batteries and add a box to contain them along with the propane tank on the tongue.  I'll likely keep an eye out for an inverter also.  Should I make the changes before I arrive, or seek...
