I have made this drive 8 times from Philadelphia to Fairbanks Alaska and now thinking of one last (bucket list) road trip from North Texas to Alaska. I know 75 isn't that old but many factors have to come to gether to make this happen and thats only on the physical side of the equation. Unlike...

Not if you live in a cabin... then again not everyone likes the 'wood look'

Reminds me of when I first moved to my cabin, tried the 'larg tote' as a tub but ended up using a water bowl used for feeding horses and a two gallon 9hand pump) bug sprayer for the shower.... I too used a Honda EU 3000i for house power (reliable and quiet even at -30) the first three years...

I had the same diagnosis but even at 75 am a devout chicken so I found a YouTube video of the entire procedure. I know everyone I have talked to say it is no pain and easy and the actual surgery only takes 10 minutes as shown in the video but I am still hesitant. I chose this video because the...

Good work Tom wish I had that much space... since moving to Texas i've had to give up my ham radio hobby so maybe i'll try replacing the radio for a drone... keep up the good work Pete kl1hbalaska on youtube

Tom 86 - your the man ! If the T-shirt is a reflection of your reality I hope I have the same mindset as you if I reach your age.

I would have liked to make more than one choice but then that's what the comments section is for.... I remember in the early 50's when TV news was just the facts... (who, what, when and where ). Now we get a few seconds of that and minutes of 'why', based on how the talking head delivering the...

Costco should post this photo near the toilet paper......

One of the many things I have and is prized above most of the others is my hammer. No I'm not nuts I moved to Alaska after I was diagnosed with heart failure and given two years to live, that was 1995. while there I joined with two other hunting guides on a 80 acre homestead lived there for...

I too have found this frustrating... but not as much as having more and more news papers requiring you to pay to read a complete article. Now I am not against supporting a news paper in fact I think is should be done across the board but not for $120 a year or more because that is what $10 a...

I was just thinking about this the other day when here in Texas it hit 99 with air so thick it was like a steam bath. Looking back my first home was on the East coast and usually only August was like this so we always tried to take our vacation that month and head to the shore in NJ for the...

Take a break from the summer heat and watch this short video shot in -24 degree tempratures on the start line of 2002 Yukon Quest

Amen fuzzybuddy alternate energy only works when the wind is blowing or the sun is out so maybe what we need in Texas is #1..better maintenance on existing power plants #2..more new generating stations.

Terry123 the fact is you should not be coeresed to cut back on keeping your family cool in summer and warm in winter. Our government policies have reduced the number of power stations and increased the grids reliance on solar and wind when they are not a reliable source of energy. It time to...

....just a few short months ago Texas was thrust into a life ending emergency when cold weather and lack of fuel shut down some electric generating stations. This emergency caused the death of 111 Texans and $200 billion in damage from water pipes bursting because they were frozen from lack of...
