If you have trouble with that recall thing, I can help. I had one, and I miss it to this day, oh, about 50 years later.

By the way, I'm just getting ready to leave Maine, myself, so understand your weather concerns! Drive safe, and take it easy.

What everybody said! But particularly the part about due south and interstates! And as Almost There said, you have time, and can pull off as need be. Take it easy, but put leaving on your agenda, if you can, in the near future! See you at the rtr!!

I'll be leaving Maine next week, sometime. Was aiming for Wed, but looks like it's going to be a little longer. Vehicle's pretty fine, it's the other stuff here.

Justacar simply asked if that was the Jake in question. I don't see how that's libelous.

Oh, I've just spent way too long drooling over the pix of your build. Just lovely. Hope I run onto you, someday, and can have a tour. And thanks for the input on the CB. I've been wondering about that, too.

I made the opening for the bats larger to accommodate the two 6V GCs. They have virtually no room to move. They were higher than the originals, so made a top with needed height, and, like the original cover, added a gasket to it, and screwed it down tight, to hold it in place. It can vent...

What's one more ol' one eye between friends?

I don't go to town without a load for goodwill. Which is a very good thing. Things are moving along smoothly, but I'm approaching panic stage, like have I completely lost my mind, taking off in a 29-year-old vehicle with a very frail person? And then I think, well, yeah, I probably have lost it...

That definitely ain't right.

Given my issues with trying to figure that all out, I volunteer to be the someone.

I recently bought a 1988 Versatile, no shower, 52,000 miles, clean as a whistle. Paid way less than I'd expected to, thank goodness, because what I'd "budgeted" was way more than we could afford, but we wanted to be on the road sooo badly. Anyway, serendipitously rescued. Took out those gormy...

Thank you, Bob. Doing work that was traditionally not "women's work" ( as if there is such a thing) most of my life, I've been pretty comfortable around men. Interestingly, when I stopped doing that work to take care of my husband, I started being treated very differently, by the same people...

I'm disappointed at that. I know Bob is very clear that he doesn't want people trashing each other, which is very definitely something that makes me want to be a part of this crew, but I'm sorry to hear that a forum directed at and for women is interfered with, because this discussion, in...

As I remember it, in the '70s, you still needed a witness to prove rape, unless you were beaten half to death in the process. And in the case you cite, chances are, the guy would've said the drink made him do it, and have pled down to ... some kind of nothing. And while I guess it's good he...

Did I miss the mods? I didn't see anyone insisting that we say, "Not all men." It seems that we are conditioned, or whatever, to ensure that men don't feel disrespected, and go out of our way to make it so, even in a space that is, in theory, for us, alone.

I'm a newcomer to the forum, only been around a couple of weeks. Much of what I've read in this thread is familiar from my own life, and from the time when I worked with abused people or at risk (especially LGBT) kids. I think it's important that these things be addressed, that people have a...

Darn. We won't be there until probably December, sometime. Got to get going!!!

There are few things more annoying than an intermittent issue with a vehicle. The amount of time and worry and freaking aggravation one can invest is mind boggling. Especially if you're on the road. Or have kids. Or not much money. It surely doesn't help your ability to relax and enjoy things...

HA! I'm married to one of those never-twice-in-a-row people! I, on the other hand, am a make-a-big-batch-eat-it-'til-it's-gone sort. Those never-twice people are picky and a pain! That's my story, anyway.
