Added just a little spice to our lives yesterday. My 12-year old daughter and I pickled 9 half-pints of jalapenos and 4 pints of homemade salsa.

Hah, oh yeah, life insurance...

Good point Dave, and I agree. They make people more comfortable, and open up places to the less adventurous they wouldn't normally go. Mine hasn't changed where or when I go, it just puts the wife at ease. There is something to be said for that. It typically sits in the pack until dark, and then...

I have been using a Garmin inReach mini for about four years now. Depending on how you set it up, it will send waypoints to your contacts and they can track you. You set the interval. I don't usually do that, just use it to check in a couple times a day so Mama knows all is well. It's connected...

Major milestone for the wife and me. We left our eldest at college and drove away.

Mine too. I'm ready.

Sure thing. Send me note when you're ready and I'll share my phone number. I'd be happy to share what I know (or think I know).

Funny. First law of thermodynamics: Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. If one goes far enough to Google the average weight of humans, one should Google a little deeper.

We are hunting off-range (my son's tag). I'd be in trouble if that was on the missile range since they don't allow any photos besides very close up pics of your trophy. Oryx range far and wide, and are now found on properties adjacent to the WSMR, including private land, USDA property, USFWS...

Getting above the desert scrub to glass for oryx.

I meant to add that, but he mentioned mid-2000s. Yes, Dodge added DPF in late 2007, then DEF for the 2013 model year. So, for pre-DEF Rams, 2012 or older. DPF isn't that bad...

The holy grail of Dodges is the early 2007 with 6.7 without DPF. The only emissions they have is a catalytic converter. I looked hard for one in 2012 when I was shopping, but never could find one with reasonable miles and a 6-speed tranny, which was a prerequisite for me. I ended up with a 2006...

Two questions. 1. Can I fit a dead elk in the back of it? 2. Can I quick-charge it from a generator in elk camp? :)

I try to fix bad things the fedgov did to the environment before we knew those things were bad.

I would actually prefer to store my fifth wheel with slides in for the reason you mention, but they're typically out for access and use. As I mentioned, out fiver gets a lot of use as visitor quarters, so I usually leave the slides out rather than run them in and out each time someone stops by.

My son and me getting ready for a night canoe outing to watch Sea World fireworks from Mission Bay.

My 18-year daughter learning how to change a water pump.

We have had this 2018 Jayco Eagle HT since August 2017 when we picked it up in SLC (well, more or less). It replaced an older smaller Jayco that was destroyed in a fire at the dealership while being repaired. We love this thing! We use it for family vacations and frequently as a base camp for...

Another reply from me. I spent the weekend with my folks, who unbeknownst to me acquired a 3500 watt inverter Champion. It's quiet, easy to start, and doesn't do too bad on fuel. It'll run one fifth wheel AC (15k btu) and everything else, though if you start the microwave when the AC compressor...

Looks like a van body sitting on a trailer frame. Take a rusty flatbed and a dead van, and, voila, you're living the van life.
