Before you get too excited, keep the corks in the champagne bottles, it might be needed for medicinal purposes. There's a lot to do before there's anything worthwhile to see at the site. I'm busy unpacking boxes and prying the lids off of crates of who knows what that was thrown together the last ti...

Well, fine. If everyone else is so willing to forgive and forget, there might be a place for the weaselly little squeeze box player. God only knows this place could use some activity. Of course, Rudy will have some forgiving to do as well, I seem to remember a certain forum member going off on him l...

Gee, Lois, you seemed to have some strong feelings on the subject at the time: http://nomadicista.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1873&p=16662 Rudy must have hit bottom pretty hard if he has suddenly come 'round to the burnt-out shell of a forum he left behind 18 months ago looking for friends. You ...

Oh yeah, you do that, Rudy. While you are at it, be sure to tell everyone here the reason that you thought it was necessary to delete thousands and thousands of other user's posts when you were given moderator privileges...

So, before it gets too late, here's the announcement: I'm pleased to announce that effective immediately, I am stepping down as Administrator of the forum. No, wait, that's not very upbeat. Try again: I'm pleased to announce that effective immediately, Stuart Crawford (stuartcnz) will assume the dut...

..... wil be made soon (this weekend some time) about the forum, it's future and other interesting developments.

This is a read-only topic, but after the announcement, it likely will be unlocked for comments.

I can tell you one thing for sure, if you buy the bus, the first thing you have to do is put the proper thermostat in it. Diesel engine efficiency is all about heat, and having an engine that runs at too low a temperature will - at a minimum - knock the stuffing out of your fuel mileage. Additionall...

It's topics with posts like these that makes maintaining this forum worth it!

That's quite a project, Dusty! What are the specifications on the Nissan engine? Is it turbo'd? Will you be gaining any horsepower in the swap? Best of luck on the power steering conversion. My Housetruck is full manual, and it's a handful to maneuver and park. Also very tiring to drive over long di...

I'm going to jump in and point out that nobody "had" to delete those photos, Rudy decided to do so of his own accord.

Just making sure that the impression isn't created that I made that action necessary as a matter of forum policy.

This is a long post. This is a very long post. It's also a political post, something I try to avoid, and suggest that users here avoid simply because such things tend to illuminate our differences instead of highlight our similarities. This post does contain some content that is partisan, and as suc...

There are two additional indicators of a waiting PM which can be set in your profile. One is an email notification when you receive a Private Message. This is set as a radio button in your profile "Notify on new Private Message: Yes/No" The other is a pop-up window set in your profile: &qu...

Not often and not a lot, but Rob's put up some material:

Probably the most important thing is to purchase from a retailer who sells ~lots~ of modules. They aren't going to stock or sell anything that has a high "dud rate". Volume purchasing will drive down the price-per-watt (PV's are sold by the pallet load now). Having a 25 year warranty means...
