I grew up in an era before AC. If you have to be that comfortable, just stay home. :blush: It is no longer an adventure if you bring your whole world along with you.

Sounds like the crap they tried to pass off as bacon in Italy,

Well we are at about 18" of heavy snow with 30mph winds. Luckily the snow is wet enough it isn't blowing around much. They are forecasting another 24 hours of constant snow. It snowed 2" while I was doing the shoveling this morning.

Funny on so many levels....from an ex-Texan.

Dead Horse Point. Delicate Arch, Mesa Arch at sunrise.

Skinny tires are actually better in deep snow.

I am busy repairing a bad centering ball on my front driveshaft to get ready for a big snow storm.. They are forecasting two to four feet of snow in the next 48 hours. The only people I trust less than politicians are weather forecasters. I figure we might get 10 inches. I will be ready...

Your gas prices have been going up an average of 10 cents a week per gallon. Biden has said in the past he would like to see gas prices over $5 a gallon. At this rate, it could be there by the end of summer.

A lot of effort went into the fabrication of the die set and I salute that. Watch ebay and the web and you can score used heavy hardened steel sets used for cheap from time to time and save a ton of money and work. You still would have to make a substantial frame but the dies would handle...

Being an engineer, machinist, and fabricator, I want a large press brake for my designs. The problem is that I need something with a minimum of 400 tons of force to bend .25" plate steel that is 6-8 feet wide. To be strong enough, commercial brakes weigh tens of tons in that range. The...

I have run Farmer's Insurance for 40+ years. I have full coverage with $500 deductable on my 1985 Jeep Cherokee with a stated value of $25,000 of upgrades. It runs me around $600 a year with uninsured motorist. I have my trailer insured on a stated value of $25,000 and it runs around $140 a year.

Thanks for the shout out. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk.

From an old married man of 46 years, bring lots of wine and chocolate to keep the boss placated.

The name was formaly endorsed by the Cherokee nation at its inception. If you are offended after all these years...tough. get off your keyboard and go wheeling.

That is funny. I have lived in Colorado for over 50 years, many above 9000 ft. We heated a home with propane and used propane stoves. I have camped at 11,000ft and had no big issues with propane. Yes, the flame is a bit weaker due to less oxygen but on most grills there is a simple...

I carry a standard 20lb. It lasts a season. My heat is from diesel heater.

Going down the road with the heater running can be problematic. Getting it to vent correctly is a crap shoot. Personally, I would not try it.

There are losses with any coax cable. The better the quality and match, the less the loss. Even with the loss, the antenna gain will more than make up for it. I would run RG316 coax. The antenna above looks good. Ideally, mount it to a good grounded bracket , ideally mount it in the...

They sell a heater packaged in a metal case that you can set out anywhere and just pipe the hot air where you want it.

My first overland experience was the summer of 1952, 69 years ago. I was 6 weeks old and my parents struck out from Texas in a Woody wagon and went all the way through Colorado and up to the Tetons and Yellowstone. I have a pix somewhere of me on that trip. I guess it has always been in my blood.
