Does anyone else have this issue with Dish on the road? I have a tailgate package with a Wally. I travel 4-5 times a year. Every dang time there is an issue where I have to call them .. sometimes the channels won't appear at all, then other times (most of the time) it takes a day for the...

Predictive marketing is working 24x7 on electronic devices .. and I agree it's spooky

Great question - can I prove I'm not a Robot or ChatGBT? I'm sure on some nights my DW has the same question ;)

I'm an IT Professional nearing retirement. My company is already using it to write code .. I'll let you know how effective it is.

I went with the Wally route when I purchased the DISH Outdoors package. I've had it for 5 years .. and with an average of 5 trips per year that means I've had 25 chances to get frustrated with DISH Outdoors. For some reason I can't get my system to work without calling DISH Support, and on...

What Henry said .. plus patience. It takes time for the pump to work the air out of the lines and hot water tank. Several minutes.

I'm a long term IT guy .. one of Gartner's predictions in the early 2000's was that computing would move from silicone based circuitry to light-based circuits which would be a quantum leap in terms of speed. I don't follow tech trends very closely -- but I haven't heard a peep about this since...

It'll be easy to spot the most popular man .. he'll be carrying a cup of coffee in each hand and also a dozen donuts.

We had a close call during a grocery stop last year .. up until this point we sometimes left our dogs unattended while we both shopped inside. I had a bad feeling and turned back to the RV while my wife shopped. A homeless (houseless?) person near the bottle return area made a beeline to our...

As someone said .. from Salem to Newport (South Beach State Park is good). All the way down the coast is awesome - all the way to Brookings. Near Waldport Tilikum is a great spot, south of Reedsport there are the dunes (Honeyman State and Winchester Bay). Near Brookings there is a state park...

For us (I'm still working) we have a coast spot within a 2.5 hour drive and we'll stay as short as 2 nights. Our longest trip thus far has been 9 nights (down to MOAB) and my DW was ready to be home after that.

I'm a farm kid, so I started young. My first job was to take outhouses out to the strawberries fields using the tractor, dig the pit, and install the outhouses. This was back when kids picked the berries - our farm had 2 old school buses to round up the child labor. I was supposed to dig the...

Look for a propane alarm near the floor. Ours is sometimes set off when we spray things. Something in the canister sets off the alarm.

I tried it for several weeks to treat my neuropathy. Some people cite it as a miracle treating that condition, but it didn't help me.

HI All, I have a newbie question. I've lost my patience with our accordion-style day/night shades. I had to re-string them once (which was a pain) and now another shade has gone bad again. I plan on replacing them with the roller-style night shades. The ones that are designed...
