Not only the costs of war but also the impact it makes back home. Both grandpas were in WWII and grandmas were alive during that time too. I remember doing a project in the 8th grade about how America rationed during the war. Can you imagine asking people today to donate pots and pans that weren't being used in the house. Not getting as much sugar and other items because they were needed on the war front. So many things average Americans had to give up because it was needed more on the war front.

Slave quarters not big enough for my butler. Hard pass.

54 Days. OIF I The first 18 days were wearing the same cammies under the MOPP suit. The cammies became stiff as cardboard and our hair was so oily it was like having gel in it.

After the 54 days they got us in groups of 10 and sprayed us with basically what amounted to a pressure washer. Lathered up then they sprayed us down again. Went about another 30 days before I took an actual shower in a shower trailer.

Will you be running AC full time when it warms up again? If so, change your receptacle out to a 20A and you're good.

No, only when loading it to head out for camping. And maybe at night if someone needs it to sleep for a night although that won't happen often. I've already changed the receptacle to a 20A.

Over the summer I was able to acquire a 25ft travel trailer. The AC unit on top is 13000BTU. Trailer is 30amp and I got the dog tail for shore power to plug into a house outlet. I've run the AC while we were loading it for a trip and someone stayed the night in it with the AC running and everything went fine. Now I've heard you shouldn't run the AC unless you are on a 30amp because it could damage the capacitor. I looked at the breaker in the breaker box and it is 20amp and the outlet its plugged into is also 20amp.

From googling, a 13000 AC runs on about 12.5 amps and the starting amps are 18-20.

Am I fine to keep running it as long as I don't run anything else in the camper or should I stop using the AC while it is plugged into my house?

I guess it is somewhat funny but he is messing with people while they are trying to work wasting their time.

Like others have said you will eventually have to clean the cup because it will gunk up over time. What I noticed that fixed the problem was using the higher end softener. The cheap stuff is thicker and causes it to gunk up much more. You also don't need to use as much as you think. A little goes a long way.

Give Angelo's a call.

For that amount of chickens just build one big coop and run.

Always been a dream of mine. I can't get a class III medical so I could never get my private pilots license but the FAA changed the rules on sports pilot license. It now allows a sports pilot license to fly a cessna 172, piper archer etc. Still can't have more than one passenger or fly at night but at least it makes it easier to find a flight school to get the license. If I had the money I'd be all over it. Have taken introductory flights and love it.

Just that damn time and money that ruin everything! :lol:

A guy in my unit was a boxer and always begging people to spar with him. Was bored one day and did it. Have zero experience in boxing. Rules were I could hit him head and body but he would only hit me with body shots. I learned two things very quickly. It was nearly impossible for me to land a hit, he either blocked or dodged them. Body shots hurt way more than I ever thought. Didn't even have enough time to get tired like some here are saying. I was done after about a minute. :lol:
