Re: Pedal Power may be coming back!

This is the one MAIN thing to worry about, 'cuz if it happens, there will be no stock market, credit cards, banks, anything controlled by computers (including the power grid, phones, computers, stores and check out registers, gas stations, etc) to worry about anymore. Just- "where did my bicylc...

Re: Rolling abodes on the Playa...

Even tho it might be a little too tall to fit legally under most 14-ft highway underpasses, you still have to love such creativity! :lol:

Re: Shopping Again...

Well, you could always fasten a toilet down, and a sink in some kind of cabinet to get you by the DMV process, and then take them back up to put a floor down properly as you have time and money to do it right. I'd put down a layer of good heavy black plastic and then over that I would put down 2-inc...

Pedal Power may be coming back!

With all the news from NOAA and NASA about the increased solar storm activity and the chance of getting hit with a serious X-class solar storm, perhaps some of us should keep the old bicycle fixed up and ready to ride just in case! Just today there was another news release from NOAA about an X7 flar...

Re: not so loose Caboose...

She first had some railroad ties put down on some compacted gravel, and then had some rail road track rails put down on them. Then my friend set the 'trucks' (the s...

Re: Pit Stop is coming home SOON!

I hope you are getting good prices for your scrap metal up there Lois. We get about $200 per ton for 'clean' steel down here right now. However, that is getting alot of still good old agricultural machinery into the scrap yard where it will no longer be available for repair and reuse. Things like ol...

Re: Shopping Again...

See if you have any RV salvage places around where you could buy salvaged RV items like sinks, toilets, 'fridges, etc. You can get pretty good deals on RV fittings and furnishings from wrecked RVs. Or you could go to an RV supply store and buy new. See if you have a Camping World RV store nearby. Th...
