Passing a semi truck with a van trailer is dangerous. The pressure between a camper trailer and the truck's trailer is lower than the outside of the trailers. That causes the trailers to be pushed together enough that instability can occur. That's the likely cause of this crash, not just speed...

Boy does it ever depend on the dog's breed. My Border Collie gets car sick, but my Terrier mix can't get enough of the car. Had a lab/chow mix that looked like a small pure black Newfoundland (110 pounds). He loved to sit in the car and look out the windows, was a big lap dog and a barker. Used...

Why replace all that stuff? Brake lines, brakes, gas lines, what? Definitely get a second opinion. "Trusted mechanic", that's a oxymoron. That mechanic is taking you for a ride.

Love that bike with your dog in the front basket and the electric assist hub. Wow! OK, so cajones have nothing to do with it. Women used to have some class and wore skirts when riding a bike. The lower bar is to keep from showing their panties when they get on and off the bike. Men used to be...

A little more progress since starting a new contract. Roof is complete, the large luan panels are in, insulation is on the sides and ready to start putting the siding back on. I have a long list of things to do yet, but the exterior needs to get done first. One more thing I need to add is steel...

Find the town of Winters and Hwy 128 West over the coastal range to Hwy 101. It's a nice, scenic road that avoids traffic, but lots of curves. We used to live in Winters and took 128 West to friends in Santa Rosa and Napa. One way to get to 128 is I5 North to 113 South (Woodland) to 128 West...

So common in California that I almost gasp when I see a correct and level rig. Many of those lifted trucks squating under trailer weight too...

Just throw them in jail where THEY can get valdalized...

Ground Yuban out of a 4 cup Mr Coffee beats Starbucks and other trendy stuff any day of the week!

The FCC provides documents that have all the test questions with answers. If you have any sort of memory you can easily pass the technician class exam. https://hamstudy.org/

If your clear coat is warn out, nothing will bring back the shine. Nor can you just add new clear coat on top of the remaining finish, it won't bond. Clean the surface well with soap, then get some Mother's wax and generate some elbow grease. The wax will remove a small amount of paint, but it...

Agree with the other posts, take the siding off and if the frame is repairable, fix it. If much of the frame is damaged and/or rotted, measure everything and rebuild the frame and roof sections on a level floor from scratch. It's easy to lay down some luan, then glue and screw the frame members...

Let's turn this into a regular thread... Why two?

I guess if one doesn't need a microwave, that works! How about just getting a Honda i2000 generator? Everything's built-in.

Tramadol twice a day with 1/2 a Meloxicam is keeping my old Border Collie girl going. No issues with the Meloxicam and Tramadol is about as benign as it gets. My brother in law smoked pot for pain. He claimed it helped, we all thought it just got him stoned so he didn't care anymore.
