    Propane Explodes At Unconcious

    I bought a new 120 liter tank, that's sitting unfilled in my garage, makes me think about not using it. Or hooking it up outside and plan on replacing it at 20 years. Currently we use a 5 gal propane bottle for, one water heater and my stove set-up, it lasts us about 15 days. I prefer cooking...

    Driving - Best Route

    15 minutes at a Non peak time is doable. It all depends on when you go through Sonoyta back to the USA . Typically, hitting the border on Sundays at 12-3pm it's usually 45-90 minutes. Busy times, ex. Spring Break, Memorial Day, Easter, Thanksgiving it can be 2-6 hours if you hit Sonoyta after...

    They are made in the UK and Germany, doubt NAFTA is the reason for being pricey in the USA.

    Driving - Best Route

    +1 on what JJ said. I did it last June from Oceanside and it took me about 6 hours, 370ish miles. Took me a little over 3 hours from Yuma. Nice easy drive and plenty of scenery especially coming down the big hill into the Colorado river Delta. There is one check point at El Doctor. Just watch...

    A NEW WAY TO COOK SHRIMP

    JJ, I ate some chicken in the UK that was cooked using Maggi cooking papers. Pretty darn good. You can buy them here in the USA via E-bay/Amazon but are expensive $3.60 plus $8 shipping. I saw them in a UK grocer, Tesco for $1. Funny that UK and Mexico price are similar but expensive here in...

    border crossing - anything new since last year?

    That new rule was proposed in April 2016, I don't think they have actually passed it yet. I did a search and nothing about enacting it. The agent might have been blowing smoke at you. I keep a photo of my passport on my phone just in case I forget it as a back up.

    border crossing - anything new since last year?

    When driving thru Sonoyta, drive 25mph to keep the cops away. They were very active our last trip down singling out US cars. If you do get pulled over, demand to pay at the court.

    Rants and Rave threads

    I like to see the latest stuff when I'm on my phone, very quick. So I use recent activity. Unlike when Jerry and others had a few R&R's, it was easy to scroll past them. Now the R&R's have taken over this forum and hopefully it doesn't chase those remaining from here. That would mainly turn...

    Rants and Rave threads

    To the Admin's, Tyler and Stuart. Is there a way to flag the R&R posts so they don't show up as recent activity to all. Put it in it's place where it can be only viewed by going into R&R. The current crop of them have Zero to do with what this forum is about, I don't have a problem with R&R...
