We put Z-Wave thermostats in our Bus. Fan runs on high or low automatically. Fan can be run manually. Heat pump, AC, and furnace work. It's a simple install and the T-stats weren't overly expensive. They run on 3 AAA batteries that last a year or so. Here's the article of the guy that figured it...

According to Google, there are 456 EVs in Wyomning. For the first 11 months of 2022, 228 EVs were sold there. I would imagine the phaseout period could be rather short, like about a week (or weekend). In an effort to protect auto dealers, Texas bans sales of motor vehicles directly from...

We are new Starlink customers and are enjoying (mostly) trouble-free streaming from Apple, Netflix and Prime. We are looking to cancel our Dish Network account and go with a streaming alternative. We have absolutely no interest in sports TV and would like to get locals, if possible. I looked at...

Former CT resident here. While I didn't own an RV while I lived there, a previous posting in one of the forums mentioned that CT doesn't care where an RV is registered. If it sits on a site in CT without moving, it's getting a property tax bill. Some states, like Colorado and Arizona charge...

In my experience, after numerous crossings, sometimes with more liquor than I should have, they have never said a peep about it. I was always honest about it, except for the time I forgot I had a couple of large bottles from Costco. When I had more than that amount allowed and declared it, they...

I believe the OP was asking about RVs. Until Apple and Microsoft start making them (shudder), this may be irrelevant. Imagine having to shut off your engine, close all your windows and re-open them just to travel down the road?

Down in Gold Canyon, AZ. Was $3.79 last week. Is $3.71 this week.

Because nothing says "ineffective search" like producing results? :whistle:

Not in Connecticut, if there were more than 2 lanes in one direction. I got my license in the '60s, too.

The easist way to get a booster is to go to a CVS or Walgreens. If they say they're not giving boosters, tell a little fib and say it's your first shot. You can easily transfer the vaccination information to your card. When I went to get a booster, I forgot my card. I called the pharmacy and...

Google maps is always up to date. :)

Same with me. We had some nice chats the last time we were at the Quartzsite rally. We'll miss him.

I retired from a major auto parts company that manufactured ignition and fuel parts for both the aftermarket and OEM. We had an ECM remanufacturing facility that would provide these items. When I toured the plant, the manager told me that they would inspect incoming cores. They would discard the...

We have stayed in Lake Dallas at Destiny Dallas. It's not a bad park. Stay in the back away from the freeway. If you're only going to be there for 2 weeks or less, Hickory Creek COE park is a great place to stay. We have stayed at Sandy Lake in Carrollton. It's OK if you can get in. We stayed...

When I was 62 and my wife was 55, we looked at our finances and decided that we would retire at the end of the following year. Spending a lot of time making plans, including going full-time and selling the house allowed us to retire one year earlier. My advice to my kids and anyone else that...
