I have been reading more about auto theft in the news. Maybe the papers have just run out of stories now that the election is over and are back to the crime beat. We don't worry about our car much. No self respecting thief is going to take a Ford Fiesta with a stick shift. Most of them won't be...

Here's the challenge. There is a tangled mess of hoses and wires under the bed. No idea why it was designed this way. We have lathing over the mess and we do keep stuff under there, but could probably purge a lot of it and reorganize the rest. As you can see, the heavy metal framing and the...

Our bed slides out. Because of how it is, putting in a hydraulic or pneumatic helper might not be possible. I can't lift it by myself. DH can do it, but he's in his late 60's and not getting any younger. Got to lighten the load up there or we'll be in the market for another rv in a couple years...

Tried to take Whiz on a hike to the river today. It's a rough trail thru 2 gates. He has been there before. This afternoon, we were halfway there when he stopped cold, froze, and stared toward the river for nearly a full minute. I saw nothing, heard nothing. Then, he bolted back uphill towards...

Ran across an open box of good quality laminated flooring with some damage. Got it for half price. Did the booth floor and the table for $ 9.00 including tax. Keep getting told my photo file is too big. Oh, well. Everyone knows what laminated wood flooring looks like.

I am not asking who you vote for or where. I am asking how you do it. We, for instance, do it by absentee ballot. We only have one state to deal with for residency and car titles and mailing address. Easy peasy for us.

Finally finished my quilt with the printed map of the United States for our bed. What a project. DH finding that printed map was great. Not only does it save a lot of work, but the dog is less likely to catch on a single large piece of fabric with his toenails than he is to catch on piecing...

OK. Not trying to be confrontational or critical. I just don't get it. Many of you will buy some poor, sad TT or van and pour years of money and sweat into rebuilding it, all the time paying rent, utilities, renter's insurance, etc. Some of you do beautiful work, some not so much. Why do...

It was a great boat, but had to keep it in a slip ($$$). He spend more time on maintenance than he did using he. He is not a maintenance kind of guy and it wasn't something he liked to do. DIL's family are all campers. She is talking camper. One grandson has been campaigning to come back west...

Still here, waiting for mail. Had tracking number, supposedly delivered on the 10th. Postmaster pretty much brushed us off and acted like it was our problem. Finally, campground researched security tape. Box was never delivered. Now, it is absolutely the post office's problem. DH is breathing...

Too late for us, but maybe not for you. Think twice about letting your dog on the bed. IIt's 2:00 am and I just woke up AGAIN without any blankets. Cold outside. Chilly inside. @!*^# dog is rolled up in the blankets like a burrito. Again.

We look at rv's for ideas when we go to Camping World to shop. I have noticed a trend in the bathrooms to separate the sink and put the toilet in a little closet by itself. Whose bright idea was that? Hasn't anyone here ever poked their finger thru the toilet paper or been sick and had to clean...

We must be power pigs. Standard wiring in the RV isn't adequate. Need heavier wiring. Also soldering as well as capping connections to keep the caps from shaking off and the wire ends from shaking loose. Electric on one side went out. Connection in box overheated. Scorched, nasty. If we had a...

I posted this on another thread and it was suggested that I post it here, too. Ok. That sounds good. Women, don't assume that you can get credit when you need it just because you have consigned with your husband for houses and cars or because you are on your husband's credit cards. For 25...

Light taupe vinyl. Excellent condition, opens to queen sized bed. Come and get it and put it in your RV. We are in northern California by Cloverdale, but will be moving more south on the 25th.

At another Thousand Trails campground by the Russian River. Very wooded and pretty. Whiz loves running by the river. Free is nice. Yes, I know we paid the membership fee, but now it's free as far as the budget goes. Only bad thing here is no sewer hookup. I have a wheeled waste water tote that I...

At the dock in Crescent City taking pics of otters and seals. DH in Barney Fife mode, as usual when we don't have reservations or definite plans. I wonder if he'd calm down if he somehow fell off the dock.

[Mod Note: Split from Thousand Trails thread.] ==================================== Bob, I had a little Honda Rebel for a couple years. Loved the gas mileage, hated the rough gear shifting. The service people said that was just the way the Rebel was. Finally traded it in to get a Helix scooter...

Has anyone ever used Thousand Trails? We have met several rv'ers who are members. We just joined so we could spend this winter at an Encore Resort that would otherwise have strained the budget. DH does like his full hookups. The Resort has a workshop for the guests and I have a growing honey-do...

Leaving West Glacier tomorrow. Need to do some errands and kill some time before we get to our next planned destination. We were thinking about a Walmart in Missoula. Found 2 in Missoula with an article about a man being at the assaulted, partially blinded and robbed by 3 thugs just a day or...
