    Solo Fire Pit

    I'm really only interested in using it to maintain some heat outside before retiring for the evening. Traveling by myself, I really can't deal with the time and effort to maintain a nice big campfire for one. I bit the bullet and ordered a Mesa XL today. https://www.solostove.com/en-us/p/mesa...

    Solo Fire Pit

    I’m looking at one of those table top models as a possible small outdoor heater. Anybody have any thoughts about that compared to a Mr heater buddy? I can see some pros and cons going either way.

    What Is Your Best Tip For A Long Trip?

    I always make sure I get gas just before pulling into the campground if I am leaving first thing in the morning. If I'm staying longer and the car gets unhitched then I'll just get gas the night before leaving. When I brought my trailer home form Wisconsin I spent 3 weeks getting home and made...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    So, back to "how to be a coffee snob"... I've been experimenting with different grind sizes and with how many beans to grind at a time. For those using a grinder, how often do you clean the grinder? After every grind? Once a week?, Once a month? Never? I guess to some extent it depends on how...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    This is awesome. I'm truly learning to be a coffee snob a little at a time. Those winos will have nothing on me, shortly. Made my first cup today. Quite the operation. 50g of beans turned into 44g of bean dust. Can't afford to lose that much on every grind. But then, I don't want to grind the...

    Another Option For Boondocking Communication

    Do your 30 days start and stop the day you restart or do have to pay for any use of a calendar month?

    Another Option For Boondocking Communication

    Randy, do you take advantage of suspending the coverage when you don't travel? Are there issues with doing that?

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I’ve seen a few YouTubes showing it in action. I guess I’ll have to experiment with either setting the timer exactly right or figuring out beans by weight. Currently I use 24g of grounds per 11oz of water to get the mix I prefer. Maybe after I learn all that I can get a part time job at...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Pretty much all the reviews I could find rated that Oxo as the "best of the rest" unless you wanted to really go top shelf. A burr grinder with a very uniform grind. Your review pretty much mirrors what they all say about it. I figured that would be plenty good enough for me. Now I just have to...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Speaking of coffee, today my new coffee grinder is due to be delivered. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CSKGLMM? I've been trying lots of different coffees to find one to settle on. Now that I did, and know I can buy it in beans, I decided to get snooty and buy my own grinder so I can grind it as...

    Sweeney, you need to find out where west is on your compass. You are missing out on a whole 'nother world. ;-)

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I've been to many Buffet concerts in the past. They were enjoyable but more for the parties/shows in the parking lot than his actual "show". People really went nuts with props and craziness. OTOH, his shows were bland and boring. Close your eyes and you couldn't tell the show from a CD. Don't...

    I Need Some Kind Of Air Pump/compressor

    garsshopper, you sound like the perfect guy to step in for Cosmo. Get yourself a selfie stick and a gopro to add to your phone and you're in business. Somebody needs to follow in his footsteps. :-)

    I Need Some Kind Of Air Pump/compressor

    I’ll admit than when I planned my route I was not aware it was a pass. As I started up, it certainly got my attention. Didn’t know just how long the climb lasted but decided that slow and steady was the best approach. I didn’t care how many trucks passed me. LoL! I continued on to the Hayspur...
