It's got a cigar-lighter socket on it, and I've got bunches of plug-in USB chargers, but I'll save the time and charge my phone on the night-stand or in my truck.

Long-term will tell if this little pack is really effective, but my brother Bob (r2millers) swears by his. It's a different brand, but similar.

I didn't even have to worry about recycling the old battery.

David (djed) was here the other day and told me he'd take it along with some other stuff he needs to recycle.

Oh, that reminds me: David got rid of his all-galvanized roof rack today to someone who really needed it! Congratulations!

I remember that van. What a deal. Glad you are getting good use out of it. Looks great for $300, and even with what you spent on it, it still a great deal.

If it's remotely close, it will go on, and on, and on.....

Landslide? Probably not, so that's what we have to look forward to.

In a transitional house for awhile. No rent, no food bill no laundry costs. So I can save money for deposit and first month's rent. Unfortunately, now I have to put up with 7 ex cons. Oh well, better than sleeping in my car.

It is the craziest election I have seen, for sure. Carol and I were just discussing how, when driving around town, there are no signs anywhere for either presidential candidate. Plenty of signs regarding the various propositions and lower offices. I've seen a few bumper stickers, but very few of those too. Which to me might indicate that no one has much enthusiasm for their candidate. But on the other hand, I just left the polling place, and it was packed with voters. So is it a lack of enthusiasm for one, or great enthusiasm against one? I won't offer an opinion, just to keep it all non-political, but I've never seen an election like this.


Jim, here's hoping things work out for you and that you can find a permanent location.

Happy Election day!!! Yes indeed. Seems like a 3 ring circus out there. I was watching some of the election coverage, and they came on with "Breaking News" only to show Trump going in to vote. Then they did it again and showed Pence doing the same thing. I turned it off.

So this morning I'm sitting here watching when the black barrel trash truck comes by, and he drives right on by without picking up our barrel. WTH, so I get on the phone to complain. Lady says sorry, and they will be back by to collect it before close of the day. The green barrel truck comes by and all is normal with that. Later, the blue barrel recycling truck drives by and picks up the blue barrel AND picks up the black barrel. I guess they don't mind food waste and dog doodoo going in their recyclables. Maybe henceforth I don't care either.

Plastic? Dog poop?

In the words of someone we all know of, "At this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"

No worries Bill that poop comes out in step 4, but those recycled T-shirts may be odiferous. Or scrubbers get ripe.


...or Could be a case of, 'not my job'.

What gets me Sean, is that we all know they sort through that stuff anyway. So why am I required to sort it on my end? Some cities don't require consumers to sort, and all the sorting is done at the MRF.


Why don't we all do that? Because it suits the greenies to make this all a religion, and religions require the worshipful to endure as much pain as possible.


But more important is this mystery...my dog eats 4 cups of food a day, and poops at least 6 cups per day. How is that possible?
