It's been a few years since I sold my RV. My next adventure is on two wheels fueled by pedal power and camping in a tent. The one common issue we have is finding a campground. Is there a good app out there with a comprehensive database including Canada that you know of? My experience is dated as...

Thank you gentlemen.

I know there are some experienced electricians in this community. I have a question about the ground cable on hydro poles that host transformers.  In my neighborhood someone has cut and removed the bottom 5 feet of the thick copper wire that grounds the transformer at the pole. I called the...

I keep refreshing to catch Tom's first post. I expect it to be a doozy. He lives life like we all should.

Some fulltime lots put all kind of restrictions in place.  I never found a campground for short stays that didn't welcome my money and 15 year old RV.

Lots of places are willing to charge for unlocking your phone but that is not your first option. If you are a customer in good standing with a cell provider and have had your phone a while (>90 days) your provider may be willing to send you the unlock code for no charge. Ask them first. If they...

It was a tough decision. We just have no time this summer to enjoy the RV and no reason to believe next year will be any different. The kids commitments trump ours so we listed it and sold it. Hopefully in a few years when the kids are independent my wife and I will buy another one for...

John, I'm pretty sure I'm onto what Lou was getting at. I know we are living at a time where Zombies are popular but can you name anyone that has ever woken up dead? 

Thanks for this. I always hated driving through Montreal. It's like being thrown into a race that you don't want to enter.

I've never heard anyone refer to an area within Canada as "English speaking Canada"  I have no idea where that would be as many languages are spoken freely all over.  English makes up less than 60% of our first language speakers, French less than 20%.  There is a high proportion of French within...

and when those Walleye cross the border into Canada they are call Pickerel.

Good point about needing to unlock the phone. An easy way to do that is to buy an unlock code from a reputable ebay seller. That costs about $5 and is sent to you by email along with instructions on how to activate the admin screen on your particular phone immediately upon purchase.  Note that...

After you cross the border head into any mall and find a cell phone booth and buy a pay as you go service compatible with your existing phone. You can then swap sim cards whenever you cross the border. Pay as you go prices are way cheaper than any roaming charges you would incur.  The downside...

This could save you a bunch of money too.  If you narrow it down to a particular breaker and are then able to narrow it down to a specific receptacle or appliance then you may be able to get the necessary solution right here or at the very least save the repair guy from billing you for a bunch...

I agree with Jim.  Norton had it's day but has become clunky bloatware that only does an ok job at what it was once the market leader in.  AVG is a good option, I am partial to Avira which is also free.  As for uninstalling Norton, CCCleaner does a good job of eradicating it after trying the...
