I've built and ridden electric, 2T and 4T. I like electric (on a bicycle) for the quiet simplicity, I like 2T (moped) for the instant giddyup and power to weight ratio, and I like 4T for reliability and cleanliness.<br>When we lived at 5400 feet at the end of 19 miles of bad dirt road in the...

Scooter and most moped parts are still readily available. Moped pedals exist only to satisfy government regulations and are only used for starting . Electric motor kits for bicycles are the way to go for people that prefer pedaling over motoring. With a straight out of the box Chinese two stroke...

I've seen quite a few motorized bicycles around here for the past few years. Be aware that bolting an engine onto a lightweight department store bicycle is asking for trouble. Use a stout steel framed bike with wide rims , heavy gauge spokes and all that, even then, the Chinese two stroke kits...

Mopeds have pedals, which usually puts them in a different category than scooters or no-peds. But the two stroke noise and emissions are the bane of the EPA and many others. However a vintage moped can be picked for $100 -$500 and its paperwork is simpler or non-existent in many states.<br>Our...

My wife has a deathly fear of arachnids. For two nights last summer we caught two&nbsp; tarantula spiders in our little rented cottage. One was strolling across the floor, the other was in the bathroom sink, just below the light switch.<br>

Thanks<br>I was trying to save space and thumbtacked it here.&nbsp; I haven't visited this site enough.<br>Edit: No, it's a residential thing, we're in the "corral house:" or ranch hand's quarters. <br>

<img src="http://www.mopedarmy.com/forums/file.php/2/87615/030.JPG">It's been a while since I last logged on here.<br>My wife and I were hired to take care of a 110 acre private resort, luxury home, utilities paid,&nbsp; swimming pool, hiking and biking trails, state park next door and all the...

A story on this morning"s CBS This Morning covered fulltime RVing for women. It was interesting and encouraging. Maybe they'll post it on their website. <br>http://www.cbsnews.com/cbsthismorning/<br><br>

The story never appeared on their site. I searched. It was shown on "Happening Now".<br>

From Adam Housley in Benson, Arizona.<br>Interesting.<br><br>

I've never asked for clicks, so the volume is low. The money is OK (about $4 per day) because I'm in a limited market demographic.<br>My wife's blog has gone from about forty cents a day to $16 a day due solely to added content and her "linking" to other formats. I don't know the lingo but...

I blog here: www.bugetleakdetection.com<br>My wife blogs here: www.paranormaloldpueblo.com<br>Sorry I didn't link directly to the blog thingy.<br>I like your stuff.<br>Thank you<br>BTW: I saw a sweet little Shasta on CL here in Troubletown<br><br>

We have been living on donated food boxes and have nearly exhausted the variations on beans and rice. We have also been volunteering our time and skills to those with less. <br>&nbsp;We applied for the care taker position a month ago and have been undergoing interviews, background checks, more...

What a ride!<br>After learning here about some of the care-taking opportunities available around the country. We started keeping our eyes open for those types of "jobs" We missed an opportunity to get a free RV space in an industrial area adjacent to a railroad yard. We got a month behind on...

All the suggestions are truly appreciated. We aren't quite finished tho. After my last post on this thread, the phone came alive with work and offers. Is someone here up to something?<br>I posted on the "70s Rv..." thread some of what changed in last few hours. Nothing concrete, but it's a...

I've been all excited and then all depressed about the possibility of making the jump to RV living. <br>Lately we have hit such a money based low that I didn't have the gas to drive across town to look at old rigs or show my truck I was wanting to trade.<br>After "throwing a lot of mud at the...

Within the constraints of this forum and all the self restraint I can muster, I can only state that house flippers are the bane of my existence. <br>They usually want a $1 dollar fix on an $80,000 item and then expect to pay at their leisure in 30 or so days.<br>Many, many times I've been asked...

That's an idea that may be worth pursuing. I've run into similar opportunities like that in the plumbing and HVAC business. The challenge, once again, is government intrusion and insurance requirements imposed by the owners of commercial properties. <br>I've had to turn down recent work because...

Gawd I seem depressing!<br>There are some things I could do still. I have to sell some of my stuff, like every other broke worker in Tucson. Stuff is cheap here and getting cheaper. Look at the CL ads for yard sales here. I heard recently that Arizona and Tucson in particular is nearly at the...

The lucrative HVAC market has changed. <br>&nbsp;I left the scene 15 years ago. When I started in the HVAC market in 1977, I was pigeon-holed into installer and remodel work. There was -and still is- a certain attitude among tradesmen in a right to work state. A helper is hired and kept as a...
