    Mail Forwarder In MN ?

    The North Shore is truly world class hiking. Cascade is my favorite, but there's many spectacular hikes, some just off HWY 61

    Mail Forwarder In MN ?

    Yes, there's an account on YT 'Fiscal Nomad' or something that warns to not even visit California. He says the way their laws are written, they can tax your income if you do. It's something people need to keep in mind where the parasitically minded have gained power. MN is getting very, very...

    Ok, Super-Awesome Thanks. (y)after looking around, It looks like this is the closest I'm going to get to the gals at Pahrump in MN. SD charges a premium, because you evid get SD residency which means zero (state) income taxes :love:

    Thanks. USPS does photo EVERY piece of mail and send it to you already, what i need is someone to open it and say 'This looks important.' The ladies Bob talked about would do that. Appreciate it

    Mail Forwarder In MN ?

    Hello, Anyone know of a mail forwarder in MN, preferably just outside the metro? I thought I could find a mail forwarder in MN right quick, but I was wrong. I'm looking for people like the ladies Bob suggested- They'd go through the mail for you and forward it if needed. FedEx or OoPS stores...

    When Vans Get Stolen

    I live in Mpls. yeah. None of those things are going to help. They stick a pistol in your face, then rip pockets outa your pants to get your wallet, cell and fob- maybe pistol whip you for good measure. The cops cannot block in the vehicle once they find it- They will not chase- both per policy...

    How much power do I need starting out?

    I have the non-sense you don't want the on my van. But: Easy, inexpensive and effective, my brother uses an old TROLLING MOTOR BATTERY in his fish house. He LEANS A 100W PANEL against the fish house to charge it.* He powers a small TV, a underwater camera and misc (cell phone, lights etc) It...

    what's the futur for gasoline van/RV/camper

    There's two electric trucks at the farm. They came from some factory. They were good for running equipment from building to building or out to the field. Simple to plug them in at their parkspot. Quiet, they were also nice to take into the woods for a break. There was, on two occasions, a...

    what's the futur for gasoline van/RV/camper

    There's a 50 vehicle threshold after which it needs to meet crash/emissions standards. You could just chop the VIN off some car in your grandpa's cow pasture, then request a title if you want it easier. Some states, and some stations within the state are easier to deal with than others...

    what's the futur for gasoline van/RV/camper

    What car did Mrs. Henry Ford drive? (NOT a trick question) Mrs. Henry Ford drove a Detroit Electric. Women and doctors (and by my observation 'The wealthy') drove electrics from the early 1900's into the 1930's. They didn't need to be crank started, important when making many house calls...

    Tired of driving for ice.

    There's also a Bob video showing how someone has made a super-efficient ice chest outa rigid insulation- they're on here- maybe they'll chime in. Struck me as truly cheap RV living!

    Tired of driving for ice.

    I have 300w and two 6 volt GC2 on a 12v fridge that draws 3 Amps. Batteries are usually at 12.6 or so in the AM. I would urge you to listen to @cancan , with all it cost, the space, intermittent problems, parking in sun when it should be in shade and having big panels on the roof it's just...

    Front end vibration Dodge Grand caravan

    The ring on harmonic balancer would come loose. You could jack up the passenger's side, remove front wheel, and pull splash guard off, and inspect. They made C-vans by the bushel. SOMEONE is going to have a problem with SOMETHING on the vehicle, so don't let people freak you out by all the...

    Hiking / Parkspots / Experiences

    Then just down to Prescott Nat'l Forest- NFS has a handy brochure with Dispersed Prescott Valley camping. Unfortunately, Enchanted Forest Campground had a trail adjacent that went right to a German Beerhall ... Beautiful moonlight walk 'home' with all things together nearly convincing this hiker...

    Heads UP Vets!

    The easy way is for a doctor during a compensation exam to decide you're not competent to handle your own affairs. Proposed Law to Allow Financially Incompetent Vets to Keep Firearms You then get due process- Don't ask what being Financially Incompetent has to do with owning a firearm ...

    USPS Informed Delivery

    And I don't think they image .gov correspondence- Informed delivery showed 'Image Not Available,' then two VA letters showed up. I guess the NSA already knows what you're getting from their 'brethren'  LoL, but not really.

    Midnight Brilliant Heating Idea! (or maybe not?)

    Great idea! such a small space, insulated as well as you're planning, isn't going to require much to heat- Regardless of temps. You will need some type of heat exchanger- Going to the nines insulating and heating, then opening a window for ventilation unbalances all the work you've done...
