Re: Home until spring
It's raining cats and dogs here too. But we'll fix that next week when we leave headed for the sun. Tomorrow is my last day of work. That's a beautiful place you've got there for the winter , Dennis. Makes me want to come and visit for a couple of months. Looks like a good place to fly my RC Heli an...

Since I'm accumulating gear one bit at a time, an antenna tuner isn't something I have yet. Any antenna I put up is going to have to be a one-band resonant affair until I have a way to match it to the output of my rig. :D Most of the newer rigs a have automatic tuners. Mine is older, a Kenwood TS-4...

We check in to the net every night at 6:30 PM. Pacific time on 3.980 Mhz Another reason to get some sort of an HF antenna up. Know anybody who likes to climb trees? A good rod and reel should throw it far enough up in the tree. I have a metal fence post in the ground with a 30 ft piece of irrigatio...

Hi James, I have 95 gallons of fresh water, 65 gallons of gray water and 35 gallons of black water. We can last for 10 days without special effort. That's doing two loads of laundry and 4 showers. We have been spending the winter in the bus for the last 8 years but this was the first time we lived o...

Hi Ya'll, We have been in northern Minnesota for the last week. This is the first time I've really used my little wood stove and I have to say it it the best I've ever had in many mobile rigs. It used about I would say 3 cubic feet of wood in that time. I carry about 4 cubic feet with me. I am thoro...

We had a friend once upon a time who did air brushing out of a school bus. He made almost all his money using an airbrush as a sand blaster, with some kind of magnesium I think to do designs on and around windows or on mirrors, like vines and flowers, or on chrome , like the backs of mirrors and on ...

Alright, the old west has returned. You have to wait a little while yet for all the gray hairs to arrive. And let me tell you there are a LOT of them. Oh no, I forgot I'm now one too. I'll be down thata way in a few weeks. It's hard to get a real good desert fix up here in the Oregon country. I try ...

They might bother you in this day and time but in the '70s everybody was doing it. One time I had picked a bunch of hitchhikers and we were cruising, there were several people on the back porch when a cop sped by me going so fast it made me jump. It turns out that he had been behind me for a while t...

I always wanted to ride on my back porch on my housetruck but I could never trust anyone else to drive the crash box with the manual two speed rearend. There was some clutching going on.

Thanks, A footfaucet is just a little more than I had in mind. I may not even get the switch in before it's time to leave. I am looking for something not very big and easy to push that I can mount in the kick plate and not on the floor. I think I found a flat switch from Graingers. I'll check and se...
