This is very intriguing,...but,...what is the range of pay for these positions?

I had a 3.3 liter Grand Caravan that got almost 20mpg if I was incredibly frugal with the gas pedal. Later, I moved up to a diesel Chevy Express, which gets 18mpg. When considering the cost difference between diesel and gas, the cost per mile works out to be nearly the same. But the Express has...

I consult Gas Buddy frequently. But all it does (usually) is confirm that Costco and Sam's Club are usually the cheapest fuel nearly anywhere. I say invest in getting memberships to those stores.

For myself, my doctor is in a network here in Arizona that has offices throughout the state. I rarely leave Arizona, because we have such varied environments and temps, so I'm never very far from one of the branch offices, whether it is in Flagstaff, Payson, Prescott, Phoenix, Tucson or...

It isn't just Flagstaff. This is happening all over the state due to all the burns year after year, although this year is bad. Flagstaff is just where it is so easily evident to observe. There are plenty of other areas downstream from other burn areas that are prone to this sort of flash...

This is one of the reasons I feel blessed to be in Arizona. I admit my bias, since I am born and raised here. But perhaps our greatest asset is that within our state we have such varied topography and environments. I can enjoy the deserts in the winter, or the high mountains in the summer. All...

At first, I started out using a heavy duty 2-step aluminum 18-inch step stool from Harbor Freight. I would just pull that out and set it up below the door. But it was too tempting to get stolen if I left it out, so I invested in a set of Lippert stairs I ordered via Amazon.

This has been my solution. I too wanted to be able to go down very moderate dirt roads to get away from the typically crowded and populated camping spots where all the 5th wheel and Airstreams set up. But I also knew I would need a trailer that would be too big for any kind of off-roading, and...

I know a fellow who was a parachute rigger in the Army. One of the things riggers have to learn and the Army teaches them is how to sew. Usually with very different fabrics and materials than a stereotypical housewife might deal with, but the principles and techniques are much the same. He...

I'm a native Arizonan, and having lived here all my life, I can tell you of only one encounter with Africanized bees myself. Fortunately, I was on an ATV at the time and was able to outrun the swarm. Like everything else in the desert, bees of all kinds need water. Regular honey bees won't...

What is this metal prep spray you speak of? I have some nasty rusty stuff that could benefit.

As we all likely know, van life is becoming more well known and less stigmatized. Some might say it is even going "mainstream". Well, a sure fire way to know when that is actually the case is when even celebrities chose to participate. Canadian-born whacky comic and actor, Tom Green, has had...

Yep, when it comes to climbing (off road or otherwise) gearing is king. I had a Suzuki Samurai with a dinky 1.3 liter motor, but it had a reduction gear transfer case of 6:1. That damned thing would climb a wall if it could get traction. It was unstoppable getting over obstacles and such. But it...

Bulletproofing is really of 2 different classes; 1. able to withstand pistols; 2. able to withstand rifles. If you are concerned about merely surviving urban crime, armor rated for handguns will likely be enough. Yeah, rifles see some use by criminals, but the indiscriminate blasting that ends...

I wanted a diesel truck for towing, but getting a diesel van was cheaper. Mine is a 2006 Chevy Express 2500 with the Duramax 6.6 liter. But turbodiesels in vans have little room for airflow in the cramped engine bays. Heat is the killer of diesels, so these models were detuned slightly and...

In the firearm world, the saying is that there are no "accidental" discharges, only NEGLIGENT discharges. The only time a discharge is accidental is when it is a mechanical failure. That same accountability should apply to all human endeavors, such as driving. Did you have an accident...

This is actually something I've been concerned about for the last decade or so. In 2004 we moved out of the Phoenix metro area to a rural part of the county north of the suburb Surprise. We live here on an acre and a dirt road, in what the zoning for the area refers to as "Residential Ranch". A...

A forest ranger making his rounds at various camping spots came upon a rather dilapidated camp. It seemed more likely to be a homeless person rather than recreational city folks. He decided to investigate. He found indeed what appeared to be a hobo, who was consuming a bird he had cooked...
