Here is a poetry game maybe easier than the haiku game, but also ... harder in many ways.  You choose what fits your mind this day the best. It doesn't have any of the classical poetry strictures, like use of seasonal words.  There's less a sense of elegy or longing or impermanence. The game is...

I killed my pet three weeks ago.  Through the vet.  It was time. But ... barely?  I don't know.  It's still crushing me.  I am confused in my heart about that.  Cried all the time, weeks later still do sometimes. People talking about dogs feels like an attack on my heart. I am sometimes scared...

Gnawing in the roof of my trailer.  I thought maybe heard it in the wall.  Second night back here after six months of being a live-in caretaker, so I was basically never here.  Trailer looks intact, but something got in.  Now I'm here to know about it, and it's supposed to be my place to live. ...

Don't wanna alert google or whatever, but ...  Does anyone here enjoy pellet guns?  I loved them as a kid and realized lately that they are something I could enjoy well into old age (I'm getting there) without needing to be particularly healthy, vigorous, or strong.  And pellets are dirt cheap...

Anyone know much about the Honda Ridgeline?  My friend is buying one after comparing to Toyota Tacoma, which is supposedly better for off-roading but has a much rougher ride ... and he has spinal and joint problems, so a rough ride is quite difficult for him.  He never goes off road.

Tried to get into the outside-access compartment of my trailer today, and couldn't turn the lock.  This has happened to me a couple of times on my car too, when it was freezing.  It wasn't freezing today, but the lock could have frozen another time and just not thawed yet. Ever happen to any of...

Came back to my trailer today, took off my shoes, and hopped into bed for a little lie-down and e-mail check before dinner.  Got up again and saw the hint of a reflection on the vinyl floor, peeping out of a small gap between the floor and some coverings. Bent down to inspect and saw some...

Do I still need to fear the plumbing somehow going wrong if there's no water in it in the first place?  I've never used the toilet, barely used only the kitchen sink, never the bathroom one, and long ago emptied out both the grey and black tanks(nothing, just the water from the demo that sold me...

Haiku poetry can make for a fun game as well as art.  Once in a while they even merge.   Background:  Haiku is a Japanese short poetry form.  It can get quite technical, but to keep it fun, the basic form has three lines total.  The first has five syllables, the second seven, the last five. ...

That's what I couldn't help thinking immediately when I heard about this ... "A foul odor permeated from a massive bag of human excrement sludge left on a street corner in San Francisco's Tenderloin district Saturday. The horrendous smell and sight quickly gained notoriety when a Reddit user...

Hi everyone. I was reading about the Honda 2200i portable generator and it said with a gallon of gas it lasts up to 8 hours per filling ... then said at 1/4 power level.   Do people really run their generators at that kind of level and still get the performance needed to run a RV/trailer/van...

The other day I grabbed the lightly lidded 5-gallon black bucket of water I had had standing in the sun for more than a week and pulled it into my shower tent.  Water looked good, was pleasantly warm, but when I was done I noticed ... at the very bottom of the bucket .. the water wasn't too...

I had to move very quickly and didn't have time to shop for my ideal trailer.  Probably not the money either, without bottoming out my bank account.  It's not a 4-season trailer, just a trailer. As long as I flush my system and get it ready for winter, don't use my plumbing, and can bear up...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here.  I hope to get to know members over time, to find some good advice and to help where I can. I've been watching Bob's videos and similar ones for at least a year now.  I'm still more than five years from my earliest possible retirement date under...
