Brief update: I have been working OTR as a truck driver for a few months now. Right now as I write this, I am in Sharkey country. For tonight anyway, I'm in Eugene, Oregon. Picking up a load here in the morning. It's the second time I have been here. Last time was two or three weeks ago. I don't kno...

Congratulations Dennis. Hope you enjoy your time there going forward.

Bank in this instance is a credit union. They did give me a debit/visa card to our joint account, but it still makes things more difficult for accounting purposes, not being able to have a separate account yet. Car dealer issues have been concluded. We got a base model AWD Subaru Impreza each. Both ...

After inappropriately posting on another thread about this, I figured I should start a new thread. Why South Dakota? It's where my mother in law lives. on the western side of the state. What kind of trucks will I drive? Big ones, they are what I am comfortable in, and there is generally plenty of wo...

We will be based in South Dakota.

This is the entirely wrong thread for me to post in, but seems to be where all of the action is. I'm moving to the States in a few weeks. Have been approved for a green card, have the visa stamped in my passport and plane tickets booked. Will be driving trucks in the near term, so may have the possi...

You must have been devastated by that Dennis. Didn't you build that for your home?

I received an email from Sharkey this morning. He is in the process of resurrecting his old website.
It is now at http://www.housetrucks.org/

Looks like that school takes education seriously. Think of the range of learning outcomes, through a one hour class over two years.

Interesting, I didn't realize that there were electric igniters, that were not piezio.

Thanks for this update! It never occurred to me that you could retrofit a piezio ignition system to a stove.
