"seasoned" travelers regarding the easiest and quickest (if not mutually
exclusive) route to Yellowstone from the Houston area.  I ...

As many of you may already know Black & Decker took over Vector, or at least
their warranty repairs.  I took my Vector 1093A Smart Charger to the B&D
repair place and they sent me a new charger (the cooling fan failed and the
positive battery clip broke).  It says Black & Decker on ...

I am considering taking my tent trailer from Winnipeg Manitoba to the
Grand Canyon and Yellowstone.
I am thinking of heading south into North Dakota and taking I 94
through North Dakota, Montana and into Wyoming.

It may be a sign of the times.
I've been doing something dangerous.  I've been listening to my
brother.  
Weekend before last, he told me that in the local paper I never

The wife brought the new ankle biter home from the vet.  The vet
charged her $72 for a six month supply of K9 Advantix.  I checked

Is anybody still making a class-C motor home with a cabover bed
under 22 feet long ?
I think the last one was Winnebago Vista 21 with a VW engine but
it's been discontinued and now Winnebago Vista is a class-A.

I need to locate a new or used (but in good condition) ice maker for  
Norcold N841 Refrigerator.
Anyone have any good sources?

old JD garden tractor.  Has either a Onan B43M or B43G engine.  Ign is
quiting after about 15 min of operation and can't get to start again

Recently purchased a small Kipor genset and so far is working ok.  Have
noticed with little or no load the engine speed isn't consistent.  Took
a look and have noticed the reason for the pulsing of the speed is the
stepper motor is also pulsing.  Don't think it should be ...

business issues.
