Or a pen in the back seat impale itself 3" into the dashboard from a head-on. I always cringe when I read about people using portable power stations containing an AGM or FLA battery. How do you secure something of that mass while making it convenient to remove frequently? Cast iron skillet...

I am an EMT so I have trauma, medical jump packs, and AED as well as a "minor injury" first aid kit (band aids, tweezers, OTC meds, etc.) in all my vehicles. The Star of Life is in the back window and my extinguisher decals are combo "First Aid\Fire Extinguisher" ones. In my daily driver, the...

I've had several 300s and cannot agree more. The old straight (or slant) 6s are awesome truck motors. It is a toss up for me if I like the 300, Chevy 250, or the Mopar 225 the best. Things will run forever, pull like a diesel, and are dead stupid simple to work on. Back in the day I had a 300 in...

Just make sure that anyone riding with you knows to loosen the hand wheel if they want to move the screen for viewing. We have RAM mounts in both ambulances, I hate them as I'm the guy who has to fix anything technology-related. I'm fixing the mounts at least once a month because the screws...

I have two extinguishers currently, I'm planning on adding a third plus a Blazecut. I have a VW, I think spontaneous combustion is forged in the metal. I have replaced all the fuel lines - and will again in 2 years - I'm not taking any chances. I have stickers on both middle windows in close...

The moment someone would have pulled into the spot, my trip is done, you could have had the spot, and I would be going home. Sudden, forced social contact will have both the better half and myself ramped up for hours or longer, ruining the trip. I had someone stop recently at the house and ask...

Luke has good taste :)

pulled the right front tire old school with spoons, cleaned up the rim to fix a slow bead leak, then rebuilt front calipers, replaced soft and hard lines. Yay, can stop! Not that a bus goes fast but it does have some inertia :). still haven’t gotten a house battery but the better half...

Welcome to the fun, lots of places in our state to get away from it all :)

Welcome to you Gabe from the Bethel area!

CB and 2M, plus handhelds for both. I also have a public safety radio that I'm authorized to carry that I can use in an emergency. Came in handy a few weeks ago when I was out on some back roads in a cell black hole and came across a rollover. Hopped on the radio to dispatch and called it in.

Free section of Craigslist can be your friend. Chaffing dish as a sink: Old bed frames harvested for the angle iron for a roof rack: ATF & acetone makes great penetrating oil. A block of beeswax will last forever and is a great non-petroleum lube for hinges, seat rails, wheel studs, etc...

Honestly, that's awesome. Definitely get her something nice for Mother's Day, she sounds like a damn cool person and you are a lucky man.

Love it, we had one the identical color but with the 318 (sorry, cannot call it "5.2L"). Sadly my son hydro-locked the motor and that was the end of it. We've had 6 GCs over the years, loved each one of them. Great rigs.

Very small world. That's where I live, in Albany TWP, about a 1/2 mile from that sign heading towards Melby's :) If you were passing that sign going to Bridgton, you passed right in front of my house.

When we got an instant pot for home, the cast iron dutch oven stopped being used frequently so I have snagged it for the bus. It is a Westinghouse (rebranded Lodge for 1/2 the price) 5qt that the lid is also a skillet. If I was stuck with butane as a fuel source, I'd probably leave it at home...

Discarded laptop table repurposed, can use in multiple positions

Go have fun, I hope you don't lose anyone close to you in the name of a haircut or dinner out. I have. It SUCKS. Likewise, I'm dropping of this thread for the same reason I am ignoring Facebook. I signed up to help people, not to be sacrificed and the idea that I should be ok with being...

Agreed. The document that grants "liberty and the pursuit of happiness" starts off with "life." Gotta have #1 before you can have #2 & 3.

Thanks, guys. Everyone stay safe, please, if we can get through this and look back saying "that wasn't as bad as they said it was going to be" then we did things right. As for the summer comment, sorry, I wasn't clear. I understand this virus is different than influenza - which wanes in the...
