    Propane vs: Electric - Which appliances?

    Dezracer, Underground is not an option because I am on solid rock. I was thinking about placing them in the garage. I also have one spot under ground but it is close to the septic tank. The tank is sealed and the leach lines are 25 feet away but it still does not seem like a good idea. Rick...

    Propane vs: Electric - Which appliances?

    Would not running on all electric make for a very expensive electric bill? My understanding is that the electric use is based in tiers the more you use the higher per unit cost. I don't have much experience with propane except for my grille. I would think that a good size tank should last...

    Question

    I would use pepper spray. Wasp spray could blind someone and get you in much worse trouble. Don't get me wrong if that is all you have then use it but it would be better to be prepared. Pepper spray will dissable someone pretty quick. I doubt that any of us are going to run into the cartel...

    Sea Sick ?

    I always bring a relief band which is a small wrist watch size which produces a small electric shock that you feel across your middle and ring finger. Its the only thing I know will stop sea sickness within a few minutes. I very seldom get sick but I bring two units along for others. It was...

    Mexican bank accounts

    I read recently that they are going close and seize accounts that show no deposits or withdrawls for a period of time. My question is, is there any good reason to keep a checking account open in Mexico? I opened it and kept it open for my FM-3 but have sense turned in my FM-3. Rick Cholla Bay

    The Sonoran Sea never had a restaurant with a view of the ocean only the parking lot. The Sun has one called Emillios with no view and the Sky has a nice restaurant with a ocean view that was called Ocean View. Rick Cholla Bay
