There will be many opportunities for employment and volunteering in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. I volunteered with two groups in Panama City Florida after Hurricane Michael. If you are living in your vehicle you are at an advantage because rooms will be few and far between. There will be...

I talked with this guy for quite a while and turns out he lives just up the road from me. I'm posting this since there seems to be much interest in E-Bikes. He says that the trike comes apart in sections and will fit in the trunk. The little trailer has the electrical assist batteries and motor...

There has been a large, run down looking RV in my local Walmart lot for at least a week, every night. Yesterday when I stopped to shop this is what I saw (see picture). The reason it has been there every night is because it was abandoned and hasn't moved since. I checked and surprisingly it had...

Just now during a segment on the upcoming Golden Globes, the person being interviewed singled out Nomadland as best production of 2020 and gave it a very positive short evaluation. Audio of segment...

Not considering this, I haven't put a vehicle in the shop since the 70s (other than tires, alignments). Lately I've been seeing advertising for this stuff all over. But I AM curious about 'real life' experience that anyone might have when it came time to save $6,000 on a new engine like on the...

I was behind a relatively new looking car in traffic yesterday and every time it hit a bump the back end would bounce 4-8 times. I mean REALLY bounce. I'm thinking that I hadn't seen a car with shocks that bad in decades and then it occurred to me that it is probably a failure in a computer...

The latch that locks the blade open on my knife broke so I looked into the warranty. I didn't need to return the knife just sent a picture and got my replacement today after about a month. They said upfront with a confirmation email that they were running behind because of the pandemic. I am...

A short version of this was in my local paper today. https://www.move.org/what-do-americans-think-about-van-life-during-covid/ Guy

Opportunities will be everywhere in the devastated areas after the storm. Warm bodies to supervisors. Any construction crafts will be needed, equipment operators... Anyone with a chainsaw should be able to keep busy. If you lean towards volunteer positions there will be a tremendous need as...

There are programs in Washington and Oregon that pay a bounty on Pikeminnows. 'Minnows' must be 9" long and bounties START at $5.00 per fish. Season runs from May 1 through September 31. This is an effort to help salmon populations recover as the minnows feed on small salmon. One guy earned...

Kidde has an ongoing recall for extinguishers with plastic handles or push buttons. I checked all mine and found two that qualified, did the online registration and after a month or so had two new extinguishers delivered yesterday. I will now return the recalled ones in the same packaging using...

I had the misfortune of being accidentally BANNED from the forum a little over two weeks ago. I was reinstated the next day but my six years of threads, posts and PMs were all lost so I'm faced with starting over from 0,0,0. Suddenly all the fun is gone. I will be taking a break for now and...
