CO detectors actually have a finite life.  Each test uses up a small amount of a chemical inside the detector.  This is why they are not continuous monitors but instead do a test at a predetermined intervals.  Yours lasted 5 years and that is just about what it should have lasted. Fortunately...

I got my internet nickname a number of years ago when I ran for a low level office as a republican.  It sort of stuck. Here is a link to one of the articles I was talking about: ...

This is a real concern.  The government has already successfully subpoenaed DNA data from one of the Genealogy sites for the relative of someone they suspected of a crime and used the DNA partial match as evidence against them.  Once the genie is out of the bottle, you can't put it back, and...

So I stopped by Worst Buy last night and picked up a Sony BDS3700 blu-ray player.  I can confirm it runs on 12v, comes with a standard wall-wart.  I'll have to make a cable to fit it, but that's not a major issue. I also asked if he had any 12v Televisions expecting the answer to be no...

When I bought my Fleetwood I determined immediately that I wanted to replace the foam that the previous owner had been using as a mattress.  There is a place in my town called "Slumber Ease Mattress Factory".  I stopped in as they had a sign in their window "Foam Cut to size for RV's...

You don't know how many times I've paid for a copy of Dark Side of the Moon LP, 8-Track, Cassette, CD...

I was told earlier today that some of the Sony BD players are actually 12v but do not come advertised as such.  I guess they don't think of it as a selling point.  The power plug is 12vdc and they come with a 120v/12v wall wart.    I'll stop by the electronics store this afternoon and verify...

Yes I've seen those and almost pushed the button to order one.  The problem with the combo's is that they are DVD only, no blu-ray.  Much of my video collection is blu-ray and lately it's getting harder to find DVD versions of some content.  Much like VCR's are now a thing of the past, I'm...

I'm looking at replacing the old 110v tube type TV that came with my older (2001) Fleetwood.  I find that most of my use is boon-docking which of course means no shore power or cable.  I really don't want to run my generator just to watch TV. What I would like to do is replace the old TV with...

Until I figure out those darn three seashells I'll continue to do the same.

I quite often camp where there is no WiFi and my Cellular connection is worthless.  This is where Redbox comes in handy.  It doesn't get you news or email, but at least you can have some movies. For about a buck/day each you can rent several DVD's or Blu-Rays, and take them with you.  No...

Yes, this happened to me also.  I was confused when everyone kept telling me my Ford E350 was a model year older than my Fleetwood title says it is.  I was beginning to wonder if I had the right title.    Then I finally realized what happened and kicked myselft for not realizing it right off...

I'm lucky in this respect.  I still have an Unlimited Plan for $20/Month that I get thanks to a discount program they offer thru my employer.  Two phones, only one with the data plan and my monthly bill is less than $100. The only problem with it is that they block tethering so I have to go...
