Reclining sofa-bed for the win?

I have a library card for Orange County FL, but their internet is very slow. Mainly due to the very high number of user imo.

They don't block FTP usage?

As part of my income stream, I occasionally build websites for small businesses. I just picked up a new contract and realized I cannot use FTP at Panera Bread which is where I hang out most now that I have gone mobile. Anybody know where I can use FTP? Does McDonalds or Barnes and Noble block...

As a Ford certified tech I will say that the 300 straight 6 is a bullet proof motor. It will last forever if basic maintenance is kept up. I made the mistake of selling my last van with one, it had almost 500k miles on it and was still going strong. I only sold it because my wife hated it. I had...

I would love to find a ~1979 ford E250(or 350/150) with a C-6 tranny, a 300 straight 6 engine, and a high top for ~2,000 though I would pay more if it was in excellent condition.

As a certified Ford technician, my suggestion is to avoid the 5.4 triton and especially the 4.2 v-6 engines. I love Fords, though I currently drive a Dodge. I plan to replace it with a 3.0 straight 6 and C-6 transmission full sized van. That motor is bullet proof with just minor maintenance and...

This is something I was also thinking about. I do sleep with a K-Bar close to me. I also have a stun gun, a machete(and hatchet with my camping gear), a baseball bat(also have a ball and glove), wasp spray, pepper spray, and a flare gun(I am pretty sure that a 12 gauge flare in the face or chest...

Cyndi, I am surprised you consider the Iphone more "user friendly". After trying one, I absolutely hate it. My next upgrade will likely be to an android once I let go of my current Samsung phone. Even then, I will be looking for something with physical keys instead of virtual ones. <br><br>Aside...

Hi Niall. Sorry to hear about you having so much trouble. As I mentioned in the PM that place just south of downtown is pretty quiet, except for 1 train usually around 4 am, and usually 2-3 other vehicles park there. Friday nights are the only night to avoid as the clubbers park there after the...

You are thinking of the Pinto hatchback. IIRC, the wagon had no such problems. It had to do with the placement of the gas tank with the hatch backs.

I have only been at it for a few weeks now, so I don't have a "typical" day yet. I usually go to a Panera bread for breakfast and free wifi where I browse Craig's List for any gigs I can pick up. I also catch up on tv/movies if nothing is immediately available. Then I ride my bike to the gym...

Good info dfh. I use the same things. I have just been using them so long that I forgot about them. I especially like the ad-blocker software.

It is always tourist season here in Orlando. If it wasn't for the upcoming heat/humidity, I think it would be a good place to do all year long. Not that I want to stay in one place, just that it seems possible.

Thanks for the info LC. Definitely something for me to look into. Especially if it really fits with my new lifestyle.

Ok, thanks. Are the harbor freight panels any good?

I don't know where you live, but if you are in or near central Florida try to get a job a Wheeled Coach in Winter Park FL. They build ambulances and you can learn a lot working there. If I were looking to go back into the ambulance industry, I would work for them. Honestly though, if you are...

Interesting. What does it take to break into disaster clean-up? Is there a special skill or certification you need? For example, I have the Hazwopper 40 hour certification though it is currently expired. Do you need anything like that? Any special tools? or are they generally provided by the...

Wouldn't you have to worry about roof mounted panels getting damaged by hail or debris from dump trucks and the like?
