re: Has the government shutdown affected you?
Posted by TonySoprano on 10/4/25 at 3:41 pm to travelgamer
We are traveling through the Canadian Maritimes, due to repatriate on Oct 12. I’ve heard the customs people are still working. Our problem has been trying to get campsites down the East Coast headed back south. All the federal camping is closed, even though it’s mostly staffed by seasonal work campers that aren’t going anywhere because their campsite is part of their pay arrangement. I really do not think they should close them, nothing much has changed as far as staffing.
I do believe that they close the National Park Campgrounds just to make a show of a shutdown.

Watch Captain Steve break it down so even a 4th grader can understand. The video shows that the RAT deployed just after rotation…. Somebody in that cockpit shut off the fuel. There’s no way they were able to taxi and take off with those switches off. It’s not as simple as just flipping a switch, it’s a 3 part process.
Looks like murder/suicide to me.

We have been on the road in our Airstream since March 19. We despise RV parks and have only stayed 3 nights in all 91 days.
Harvest Host and Boondockers Welcome has totally changed the way people “camp” these days. We stay at wineries, breweries, farms and with BW we stay on other campers property.
We also really like state parks, county parks, national forests etc.

How hard is it to get into the insurance adjusting profession? I’m 56 and can travel at will, currently in the L.A. area. Retired and sold my business in January and looking for something to do.
Recommend or not? Tips?

I did 32 years owning/operating bread routes. I sold the last one in January and currently in the RV traveling the country. At some point I will probably go back to some type of work, but if I don’t want to… I don’t have to.
The bread biz has changed so much in just the last 10 years, independent operators will be gone in the next 10. I would not recommend, it’s an after hours soul sucking grind.

re: If you could live anywhere in the US, where would it be?
Posted by TonySoprano on 5/5/25 at 4:29 pm to parrothead
We lived in Waynesville for 2 years, ended up moving back down south. The town really seems cute as a visitor, but living there is not that great. Once you do the 10 or 12 things there are to do, it’s kinda boring. I guess you could always go to the breweries in Asheville and get lectured by all the alphabet people, great times.
Also of note, there is a very large homeless population in Waynesville. I can’t even count how many times I saw people sleeping out, or defacating in the Walmart parking lot. The reason for the spike in the homeless population is the creation of the “pathways center” in Waynesville. All of the surrounding municipalities haul their homeless to Waynesville because they have resources. Most get kicked out of Pathways because of drug use and end up outdoors all over West Waynesville.

I’m in Palm Desert California helping my daughter relocate for her first post college job. Of the 3 establishments we tried to patronize tonight, 1 was (Eureka)closed outright, 1 (Kithchen 86)was obviously short staffed and 1 (Sherman’s Deli) was basically normal as far as we could tell. Seems like had a small effect out here.

We had a 17’ Rogue and just like every other 17 Rogue (CVT tranny) it totally crappedvthe bed at 105k miles. Those tranny’s are disposable, they should stamp an expiration date in the casting bc that’s about all you’ll get out of it.
re: Best All-Terrain tires for Truck/SUV?
Posted by TonySoprano on 9/27/24 at 11:02 am to GetBackToWork
I had Toyo AT3’s, followed by Ridge Grapplers. Both were quiet until they hit 50% on tread and then got increasingly annoyingly loud.
When I put the Falken Wildpeak AT’s on it was super quiet again. I’m curious how long they will stay that way.
Chevy 3500 HC SRW long bed. Tires are 35x12.5

Thanks for the suggestions. We ended up at Gumbo Bros, and it’s great.
Nashville sports bar to watch the LSU game??

We are in Nashville for the weekend and want to go to a fun sports bar to watch the game. Any Nashville locals in here that can give suggestions??
Can be on or off Broadway.

No… it won’t.
But I can tell you from experience that you will miss the food if you move out of the south. That’s the only thing I miss. I do not miss overpaying 3X for insurance, and I certainly do not miss hearing about near daily murders in NOLA and BR. I also enjoy 4 full seasons in WNC, not really ever uncomfortably hot.
I do not miss the “Cultcha” either. I’m in BR tonight for a Christmas family gathering and I’m in “cultcha” shock.

I’m in Western NC, seems like it’s the “in” thing to cover the back of your car with edgy stickers.
Most are driven by fat women with blue or pink hair.

I HAD a 16 Titan XD… it was the most comfortable truck to drive I’ve had to date. It was otherwise a rolling piece of crap and not at all worthy of its “XD” designation. The third time it got put on a wrecker I was done.

Sailing the Navigator, from the “ World Cruise Center”.
The Bonvoy app and TripAdvisor are contradictory on the hotels in that area.
I’m hoping I can find someone reputable to take us on a full day LA/Beverly Hills tour. That would explain arriving 2 days before sailing.
