    Off-topic fantasy post

    LOL, Ja up nort an da SW corner of WI maybe, but Madison, my hometown, where I'm currently stuck, and points east ain't. The beauty of weather in the summer is that you get a break from the humidity now and then. Winters...ach no! There are folks who vehicle dwell in winter, God bless em, but it...

    **** diet while on the road/shelf stable ideas

    Be aware of how stevia is processed. Many are now claiming it involves  toxic procedure. Some people grow their own stevia. I recently discovered "Just Like Sugar" made from chicory root and it satisfies my need for a bit of sweetness.

    A question more uncomfortable than "Where do you go to the bathroom?"

    This subject hits home today in particular after learning a dear colleague is retiring early due to terminal cancer. As Robbie Burns wrote, "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley." I don't care what happens when I die; I just hope I get a chance to experience full time nomad...

    Honda Ridgeline?

    I have a Chevy Colorado 4 x 4 crew cab and for me it rides smoothly and I love driving it long distance. I sleep in the cab when traveling, using a platform from NotelUSA that is secured at handholds and headrests on passenger side. With a memory foam topped trifold mattress I sleep comfortably...

    Sales of new rv's decline

    Maybe it's because people are finally getting wise to the fact that most RV manufacturers are pumping out crap and sales techniques are dodgy.

    Cant stop watching this Youtube Chanel. How can I help others and learn ?

    I wish the greatest and best life for you, on your own terms. I recommend doing what I do until I can retire: start by taking weekend trips or plan your vacation time to see what you want to see. Let the adventure begin!

    Mexico

    After binge watching YT videos of expats travelling/living in Mexico, I'm ready to take my first solo trip driving south of the border. The last time I was in Cabo, I found out a few weeks after I got back home that several severed body parts were discovered a couple miles away from the fancy...

    Tri-Fold Sleepers Whatcha got? You like it?

    Milliard is the brand I got. I'm a side sleeper, so I got the 6" thickness and do not hit bottom. It was actually $150 when I bought it a few years back.

    Tri-Fold Sleepers Whatcha got? You like it?

    I have a twin tri-fold with a top layer of memory foam that's super comfy. Got off Amazon for about $100 i think. Used it for overnights as a volunteer at homeless shelter for a couple years cuz their fold up beds killed my back. Last year I cut it to 28" W x 62" L to fit in my truck cab where...

    War on the Homeless spilling over to vehicle dwellers and boondockers

    I'm with Roadstar66. Being a nomad is counter culture and therefore considered subversive by TPTB. The mechanism for control was set in motion long before the Real ID Act. There will come a day when we will no longer be able to obtain our basic necessities because we refuse to comply with X, Y...

    Pahrump to Vegas

    Can anyone tell me what the road is like from Tonopah NV via Pahrump to Vegas? I'm taking my sister to the airport and want to make sure I allow enough time. Is it 2 or 4 lanes, with any significant changes in elevations? TYI

    Anybody teaching ESL online?

    I dont, but used to teach it in the classroom. I know several people who teach little kids in China online. You need to be high energy and not afraid to be silly. The most popular method is called "Total Physical Response". I quit years ago  when the school I worked for in Taiwan demanded that I...
