It seems music is verboten in a campground while generators are not. The last time we asked someone if they really needed to run the generator all evening he drove his truck around the loop several times honking his horn and sent the camp host to tell me my guitar playing was too loud. I really...

Somehow I have yet to go there. I'm thinking autumn. What should I know? Places to camp?

That Strawberry Lake/ Mountain area is now on my list. What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing it.

Shaking out a seat cover on the side of the road? Yup. Done that.

The question I have is how do you see to tie on an #18?

I used them - well, it is called Discount Tire over here. I would order tires and be given a price for installation etc and it always cost more than I was quoted. Big O tires was interesting too - you'd get a different price depending on which salesperson you were dealing with. I started going...

Yeah, but they used to put my larger truck and camper on a lift that they will not put the smaller and lighter rig on now. Or in the case of Tires Plus they put my Taco and camper on one of those lifts and rotated the tires and now they won't.

This is the kind of thing that worries me. Was it a sling tow or a flatbed? I had my old rig w/camper on a flatbed more than once but that was several years ago. I mean - what are we supposed to do? Pull the camper off and leave it on the side of the road? And exactly how does one do that if...

I live in a small town but we no longer have a mechanic. I used to rotate my own tires and change my own oil but the tools belonged to the ex and I was hurting for months when I HAD to change a tire in an emergency more recently (female, 5'2", 120 lbs, signing up for Medicare) I could get help...

Ok. I can understand the problem with telling a customer "you are not spending enough for us to take the risk" but how hard would it be for them to tell me it is an insurance issue? I think of a brewery and a cannabis dispensary which used to allow dogs but no longer do. The dispensary plainly...

So do your salespeople tell customers that they may have to remove the camper to service the truck? Ive been told you don't do this anymore but my 4-wheel was bolted to the truck bed so I would have been SOL. (If it has not already been done the new owner is going to change that) I understand...

I had not thought of that. But the weight of the camper is printed right next to the door - "shell" model with heater, stove, propane is listed separately. I believe this weight is from a certified scale? The gist of Toyota's story is that a camper with the cab-over is unbalanced. And then I...

First it was the Toyota dealer. They refused to rotate the tires because of the camper. I was told that the truck was "rocking and rolling" on the lift. When I asked how they had managed to service my T-100 with a 4-wheel camper on it for the past twelve years the answer was "I cannot speak to...

I am not sure they are capable of considering the impact they have - perhaps a form of Dunning - Krueger? Lack of conscience? self control? ethics? (Or in other words - can you say sociopath?) I had a "rainbow" housemate in the late "70s. He had all kinds of reasons for helping himself to the...

My mom played the banjo and the accordion and the guitar - and sang opera. What really frightened us kids was when she played Malaguena on the baby grand.

excellent!

Absolutely LOVE the sound of the Uilleann pipes. They did make my late husband cry. I tried to get someone to play at his memorial but too many things happened along the way.

I've had cheap cell phones. When I finally gave up on my expensive landline that suffered more outages than the electricity (and had cheap phones fail at inopportune times) I hung my head and paid the premium for an iphone. (full disclosure - I am typing on a mac - never bought anything else)...

Interesting reading. from Foy: "Fungible commodities also share the characteristic of being bought and sold on markets all over the globe with supply and demand setting the prices, not the producers themselves." from Mighty Dodge Ram: "Pump prices fluctuate due to many factors, not just pure...

Marty Atkinson passed a couple of days ago. He was a staff writer in Nashville, put out several albums on his own as well as supporting other artists. He was also an excellent carpenter - my mom had a story of him hammering and sawing while singing "I Wish I Were A Single Girl Again".

That is somewhat along the line of what I was thinking. I also have an apt consequence for those who leave behind dirty baby diapers.

It is an interesting review but some of the comments about the the mindset of the book's writers sound like someone is taking the concept of bio-centrism rather personally.

Friend was sunbathing nude in a campsite in Saline Valley. A jet was flying low and slow. She met the pilot later that evening in one of the hot pools because he shied away when she told her story.

If you private message me your mailing address I'll send you a copy of the book Bright Green Lies. I've been called much worse names than NIMBY but my personal feelings are insignificant when set up alongside the damage being done by "alternative" energy and the amazing ability the human brain...

I am a sailor - or at least I was (my dad was the boat owner - San Francisco Bay, no slouch on winds)) The wind on the lee side of the Sierra is far too erratic for sailing. And wind turbines kill birds. And bats.
