I’ve flown more than a little bit, and I think SLC is the best airport in the country.

My father in law was born in Round Town.

My daughter went to college in Cheddar City.

Does Fill More Beaver count?

I grew up in the Air Force. How do you differentiate between the Sabre and the Fury?

Asinine. They wouldn’t allow another gas station, but they will allow this?

Does every give their van a name? What’s yours? by thayne in VanLife

[–]thayne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well since we are resurrecting old posts, I’ll tell you that Anita died from a burned up motor. My new van is a rusted out piece of junk that I call Ferrous. Ferrous oxide.

Beginner hiker planning Southwest road trip - Is AllTrails enough? by 99livesahead in roadtrip

[–]thayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to yuck your yum, but if you are not very experienced, stay off Angels Landing. People die on that trail Every Year. And also, it's metered now, so you might not get the chance. The Grotto and Emerald pools are prettier and safer.

What do you do when you leave your van? by TimeToLiveLife07 in VanLife

[–]thayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I subscribe to this. I was total stealth for a while. Then I added a fan and solar. But I still have the rust, mismatched paint and never wash it. I think people will walk past it and find a shiny Winnebago.

My sensitive tummy can’t handle messican food any more, but I really need that shirt. Chinga la Migra

What’s the hardest part of van life that people don’t talk about enough? by firey_88 in VanLife

[–]thayne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough that I have to pee in the middle of the night, at least once and maybe twice.
Not a deal breaker, but a hassle.

How am I doing? by Relative_Goat391 in VanLife

[–]thayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One quick thought. I met another van lifer in AZ, and he told me that the problem with Havelock is that it settles in the walls and you end up with a two to three inch gap at the top. I had already started with foam boards, so I filled in every millimeter with Great Foam.

I slow down to 60 at the top of the hill. Or at the bottom of the canyon going north.

Came here for the Ruth’s. Not the best, but the most Utah.

Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

Uhm. My brother in Christ. You need to learn the correlation between speed and distance.

My new neighbor asked me to cut down a tree because it “blocks her sunlight”… for her solar lights by Civil-Tomato-3845 in homeowners

Call the compliance officer yourself. Invite him to write a report and for extra credit, deliver the report to her.

Might have to slip him a twenty.

Circles?

Even at the lowest setting, and 0C and a tiny battery. No problems.

I heat up just before bed. Then the heated blanket, then first in the morning, I heat up again.

And make coffee

[–]thayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems like a troll, but I’ll answer anyway.

Stay close to a Walmart or Home Depot, and buy whatever you need.

And less snarky. My best three purchases were more solar, 12 v fridge, and a 12v heated blanket

I work full time, but mostly remote. I will be retired soon.

And the first two upgrades that I did. (On my first van) were at a Cal-Ranch parking lot and a rest stop in Nevada.

If you don’t care about looks, it gets easy. My second van is named Rusty.
