    Eastbound to Florida

    No not Deland airport. Near Deland airport. Very quiet place. Fun watching the skydivers coming down.

    Choosing A Dog

    I agree. Last year I tried to adopt from the pound in Tupelo, MS. They had the facilities but they didn't have any dogs!! Only one who was cute as a button but he was spoken for.  Still thinking about this. Thks for the i/p.

    Choosing A Dog

    You seem like you really love dogs so I know you would not leave your friend in a hot truck. There are so many nosy SJWs around lately. Just looking to cause trouble and manufacture a scene out of nothing. Your last sentence is so spot on.  I find it a bit lonely out here. A dog would be a...

    Questions for on the road... first: one about cash

    I will tell you exactly. That was January this year. Av B on one of the street corners, north side. On my way back to the crossing. As for the obnoxious border guards there is a particularly nasty black guard and I have had the misfortune to encounter him a couple of times. Also met a couple of...

    "Do Not Disturb" While Working?

    Had some good experiences but not lately. Without a doubt Leadville has been the worst so far. Actual rudeness. I have sort of given up.

    "Do Not Disturb" While Working?

    I agree. I have been shuttling between the 2 Walmarts in Great Falls, MT for about 2 weeks.  I had a nutcase come to my door - which was open - dressed weird and asking for my papers. I told him to clear off. Last I saw of him was talking to 2 police officers in the wm parking lot with them...

    "Do Not Disturb" While Working?

    Sounds good but that was not my experience of Quartzsite last winter. I was there in November and January.

    "Do Not Disturb" While Working?

    I have never heard of that. Not that I disturb folks anyway.

    "Do Not Disturb" While Working?

    I agree completely.  I wish someone would come and say hello. I have no contact for weeks on end. Leadville was one of the most unfriendly places I have ever been. I was ignored pointedly there.  Rarely does anybody approach anybody else and I have no idea why. We are all in the same boat. Well...

    4patriot solar 'generator'

    Thank you for the reply Jim.  Gosh that was a weighty battery solution!!  I opted for the Lithium path right from the beginning. I had enough of AGMs when I was a trucker. Lithium is just a better mousetrap.  I am going to add another 200ah, Bob has 400ah only using lead/acid chemistry. I...

    Questions for on the road... first: one about cash

    I do everything with my credit card and debit card. Rarely do I use my debit. Lately I have gone to Gasbuddy which is just another debit card. I carry very little money on me. I think I might have a $20 or so in my money clip. It has been there untouched for months. As already mentioned there...

    Choosing A Dog

    Thank you everyone. Certain things seem to being repeated over and over. Namely running costs, responsibility and cramped freedom. I shall have to ponder this further although I really am taken with the idea of a dog. I loved the idea of a schnauzer like Jimindenver has. Mr Noodly I am very...

    Choosing A Dog

    I am seriously thinking of getting a doggy to keep me company. The problem is that I know very little about dogs.  Any tips would be welcome.

    4patriot solar 'generator'

    I know it is off topic but could you tell me what your battery bank consists of?  I have 1000w of solar (half of which is not connected right now - I am working on it). I have 200ah of lithium. Unfortunately mixed brands. Probably going to expand my bank to double that size but again I will go...

    Eastbound to Florida

    Idly debating going to Deland for a couple of weeks instead of spending the whole winter in Yuma. I know a place to park there by the airport.

    "200 watts" of solar doesn't seem to generate anywhere near 200W, is this just normal

    Exactly. The way he wrote, it appeared that he was going to expose the panel to sunlight and short the 2 leads together. A big mistake. Now I see what you mean. Yes that makes sense.

    Visible Cell User ?

    I just tether directly to my phone no router. I often have 3 or 4 devices connected at the same time. It is an LG something or other. Currently on T-Mobile where I have the exact same problem as you describe at Q.  I have bought a ZTE Blade from Visible but have not activated it. I am scared...

    Colorado suggestions?

    I am camped in Colorado as I write. I have been moving up and down the Leadville / Salida valley for a month and a half. Currently in Buena Vista at Americus on the 371. LOTS of campgrounds here. Almost all free. There is a nicer one close to me by the Arkansas River with toilets, BBQs and...

    A Big Win for Nomads

    I filed for Homestead in Florida. Everyone does but I don't know why. I bow to sofisintown's superior knowledge. I hope the op is on the money because that could really help folks.
