Wherever did you find folding recumbant trikes! I want one!!

I don't understand the sort of hatred that would cause me to want to end someone else's life. I am dismayed by concept that problems can be solved by the deaths and disfigurement of so many young people. When will we as a society learn a different way to solve our disputes?

Today is the day that we as a nation have set aside to remember those who, by choice or chance, have gone to war and not returned. It is a day to remember to be thankful. And, I truly am thankful to not know the grief that so many people have had to endure.

Well said, Barb...and I agree.

I haven't known any personally who died. However, when I was young I had a coupla' Vietnam Vet boyfriends. They looked fine on the outside...but on the inside...a completely different story.

Personally I don't see a problem. Water will be the easiest, then digging a line trench and connecting it to the sewer line would be second, and because electricity is what it is, I place it the more difficult.

Consider hiring professionals for the job and make darn sure that they configure the electricity correctly. It is not wired like an electric dryer. When you get ready for that, let us know and we'll provide a like for the correct RV electrical hook up.

Are there any city/county codes that need to be adhered to? Are permits needed?

Edited: What the hey: here is the link to the electric: RV Electric

Put in the 50 amp service even if you don't need it right now. You may get a 50 amp later, OR we may come visit.

Sorry about that, Steve! It was all quiet at our CG this weekend. No barking dogs, loud parties, or slow TengoInternet. 'Course our CG is several acres and only has the one site.... Cheap, too!

Cheers!

I, along with many other Nam vets, can probably address that but it would take a long time to explain. Many of us have been able to hide the hurt inside, but it is still there. Coming home and being derided and even hated for our combat participation was a big part of the hurt. I'm ecstatic to see the current returning vets are treated with respect and appreciation.

This is the kind of recumbant bike I have...



Mine is 18 years old. When they were still made in Oregon. This one in the pic...is newer, and from the Asian plant they sold out to.

"Well, that includes the scenery and wildlife fund"
