    TX Gulf beach camping during summer

    Wandering Rose, I believe you're right about Bolivar. It's a little hard to get to -- easiest way is to take the ferry over from Galveston -- but it's definitely party central and run-what-you-brung several times a year, like during Jeep Week and a couple of other hard-core party events. The...

    TX Gulf beach camping during summer

    ^^^^ Yeah, what Morgana said -- Louisiana is a fabulous place to visit, but they don't do beaches. Texas has lots of beaches, but they're maintained at considerable expense and effort for the tourists to enjoy. Tourists and weekenders go to the beaches because they love the gulf breezes and the...

    Nature Lover and friends keep in touch

    I had the same problem last week and couldn't figure it out until I checked one of my emails from the forum and backtracked thataway. Looks like they changed the name of the forum (probably some time ago) and my laptop finally caught on and quit communicating with the forum because I wasn't...

    OOOO Good one! :oops: Looks like they tack welded that square tube to the tank so it would stay in place while they drilled the holes. I'd like to have been there to see that ! Johnny

    Best space-saving blankets for very cold weather for naps in the driver's seat?

    Lance22, Sorry I missed your question the other day. I just tested my blanket with my Honda (Jackery) 300 and it drew 110 to 118 watts, depending on temp setting, during the startup phase. I wasn't able to test to see if the wattage would come down after it reached full temperature because I...

    Best space-saving blankets for very cold weather for naps in the driver's seat?

    One thing you could do is use a small electric blanket and plug it in to the 120v receptacle of your Jackery power station. It would use quite a few watts for a minute on startup, but since you're only using it during your breaks, you could recharge the Jackery later and be toasty warm in the...

    Americans are importing tiny Japanese pickup trucks

    These things are tooo cool! I see them around from time to time, but I never knew where to get one (Thanks TxtoSturgis). I'd love to have one of the vans -- don't know what I'd do with it exactly, but LOVE to have one anyway. Johnny

    Nature Lover and friends keep in touch

    Nahh, that little scratch should buff right out 😳 And it could have been a lot worse -- you could have totalled your scooter, so you got that goin' for ya, which is nice. I think I may have fallen off a scooter a couple of times myself, and I remember there's always that moment when you're out...

    True dat , Maki. I've operated several cash registers over the years and I don't even recall those modern ones that told you how much change to hand back. You just counted the change out to the customer, starting with the amount of the sale and ending on the amount they gave you. The customers...

    Yeah, INTJohn I hear ya! I have a little baby girl who is a nurse practitioner, and I get to run all kinds of stuff by her. Her specialty is little babies, not geezers, but she's got us covered too. We also keep up a running conversation about the latest news from Big Med (BIg Pharma's brother...

    Used FedEx trucks (beware)

    Whoaaa -- not good! I loved the detail that they normally scrapped those things when they reached 400,000 miles -- can you even imagine how worn-out a Fedex truck with 400k miles would be? But hey -- here's a cool way to get a few more dollars out of them (y) Johnny

    For those with vehicles registered in Texas

    Well this is pretty big news and a big deal for sure. The first question that came to my mind when I read the news was " What about that darn check engine light?" The Dallas Morning News link that tx2sturgis posted didn't say whether that would still be a fail or not. That little light was...

    passenger van well insulated?

    I have a 2012 Ford E350 passenger van which originally had 3 rows of back seats. I took all the seats out and made my camper out of it so I got an inside look at the factory setup in the process of the build. The rear area of the passenger Econoline is completely finished with plastic panels up...
