Recently purchased a Hutch Mountain propane conversion kit for one of our two Honda gens. Anxious to install and gauge performance. Used one of two gens during a trip to Grand Canyon this past summer. Camping at higher elevations we found we did not need the 2nd gen since no A/C was necessary. We also use our gens as backup power for our home. We can run critical home circuits on one gen. Being able to tap into our 400 gallon propane heating supply makes this very handy for extended power...

On our way now. See everyone soon. Saw a lance heading down the mountain and we both though "your heading the wrong way " We have really been looking forward to this trip.

We've hemmed and hawed for 7 years or so on getting a kayak. Hard shell? Sit-on-top? Inflatable? Transporting? Solo or tandem? ?? We've rented at least 20 kayaks over the years and still couldn't make up our minds. In fact GRUMPA, BMJ, myself, and a few others have gone around and around about the subject here on LOA for 4 or 5 years. GRUMPA & BMJ both bought inflatables - Sea Eagle's (sweet kayaks!) - while we kept languishing over the choices and our needs. Well, we finally decided to...

On our recent 7 day trip we decided to use our front cargo carrier with storage box.  Since the weather was going to be hot I had some concerns about engine and transmission temps.  My truck doesn't have a trans temp gauge so I invested in a...

Not as windy as you are, so I'll be interested to see how it holds up. Some pretty ratty looking covers in the storage lot, but the Adco's still look better than the run of the mill. We'll see. Thanks for the report!

We gave them a serious look and rode several belonging to friends, but decided they weren't for us. They're ideal for the contemplated uses on paved roads around the campgrounds. A big part of our biking is taking advantage of the many improved bike trails around the country, however. We found that even with gears, they are problematic off the pavement- even on improved gravel trails. The issue is the small wheels, which are severely affected by ruts, rocks and soft spots. We're not crazy,...

Bicycles are like canoes and kayaks. There are many makes and models with different price ranges and quality, serving different purposes. There is not a one size fits all. First decide on the type of riding you intend to do. We started with hybrid bicycles. Not especially great for road riding or mountain biking but they got us out and where we wanted to go...mainly short distances riding comfortably upright on both pavement and dirt and a workout on longer distances. And, the gearing was...

nm1oqrz - Nice! In my opinion you couldn't have picked a better phone (at the moment). It is far-and-away the best phone that I have ever owned. Smooth, fast, responsive, perfect screen size (5.5") with almost no wasted real estate around the screen, fits in a front pants pocket, double-tap with your finger to turn it on & off, ... If you have any questions feel free to ask. My first suggestion - take it slow. Here are some things I do with my phone - Calls, email, text, alarm clock,...
