  1. Yep I'm the guy who cilantro tastes like soap, and artificial sweeteners taste bitter, and my pee smells after asparagus.
  2. Don't forget that SpotX and Garmin in reach both provide satellite texting now. I carry my SpotX whenever I leave the cabin just in case.
  3. I think the value of this will be for hikers and off-roaders, off grid where you're away from your starlink system. I'm very interested in this while at our mountain cabin for the summer. Hopefully Samsung will have this also.
  4. I understand Derek. Since we bought our cabin in Colorado I'm not reading RV forums as much. Thinking of getting into gold panning with a friend so looking for a good forum for tips. Also doing a bit of easy snowmobiling but most of those forums are much younger guys doing stuff I can barely dream about.
  5. This looks like Hwy 190 which parallels I-10 from Opelousas east to Baton Rouge. There are numerous areas where there are turn-arounds. Not saying the trucker should have done this but this is how the four-lane is set up. We travel this route frequently.
  6. The update was from the last zoom meeting with CDOT a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately the website has not been updated often enough. Believe me that myself and my neighbors would be overjoyed if they would be finished in Dec. 2023. But there is still much more work to be done. They are having to rush the paving job day and night for the next couple weeks to finish before it gets too cold.
  7. FYI: US 50 between Montrose and Gunnison, CO the construction will continue into June 2024. Not sure what the delays will be but check out US50info.com for the latest information before planning to travel through this area.
  8. We spend half of the year in Colorado even though our domicile and condo is in Louisiana where we have Medicare. We've never had any problem using Medicare in Colorado or other states.
  9. When you don't have to look a person in the eye and stand there and be accountable for what you say then people tend to say stupid things. Look at how some online discussions go. Would you say some of these things to a person standing within arms reach?
  10. Since we sold our motorhome and bought our cabin I have 2 different toad's I'll sell. Both have BlueOx baseplates with ReadyBrake cable system. Already sold the ReadyBrake towbar. Both are at our cabin near Gunnison, CO. PM me with your email if interested and I'll send pictures. 2006 Lexus GX470 with 2" lift, 170,000 miles, asking $8500 OBO 2011 Tahoe LT with 2nd row captain chairs, 201,000 miles, asking $11,000
  11. I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but check out Bookbub. It's an email service that sends you daily emails about discounted ebooks and often free ebooks. Set up your profile as you like and fill up your kindle account. Some are relatively unknown self published authors and others are fairly well known authors. I've been reading ebooks since before kindle. Started on a Mako device, then progressed through the years to my S22 currently.
  12. We did buy a car in Utah once and had to have them extend the temporary plate since it was over a month before we got home.
  13. When we were traveling we always kept the title with us just in case.
  14. I'm planning on trading in my 2011 Tahoe LT 4x4 this summer and wanted to see if anyone is interested first. It has middle row captain seats, third row, brown with tan leather interior. Exterior and interior is in very good condition, no rust, driver seat has a bit of wear but no tears. Just under 200,000 miles but that will go up some. This week it's in Baton Rouge but Friday we're driving to our cabin near Gunnison, CO. It has a Demco baseplate along with ReadyBrake setup. No longer have a motorhome and looking to downsize a bit. PM me here if you're interested.
  15. Not sure if this is factual or not someone else might be able to find out. We're too busy moving. There was a story a couple days ago about a US military operator flying an experimental AI equipped drone that had to get permission from the operator before dry releasing on a target. Apparently after a few runs the AI decided to take out the communications tower. Interesting. Can anyone verify?
