Ginger bug questions....

Ok, so I just wondered if anyone skipped the whole nursing a ginger bug along, and just chopped your finger, tossed into your juice, added some sugar, and let it form like that and then strain off when it was ready to go into your bottles? I think I'm going to start doing it that way so I can have several batches going at a time and not have to nurse a bug along for forever before adding it to my juice. If you do this with success, how long do you leave yours to bubble before you strain and bottle?

Exciting news about my Armada!!

So I posted a video of my 05 Armada rolling over 319k with no check engine lights on Instagram. Nissan USA saw it and commented, and even messaged me! Not only are they sending me a huge swag pack, but they also want to talk about becoming partners in some of my travels and adventures!! This is the most exciting thing to ever happen to me!

Gas money help to escape the heat

So my daughter and I have been living this summer with no AC. The end of our 5th wheel is like a sunroom, so once the sun passes noon, it gets HOT inside. We have already had a few triple digit days, with more to come, and my entire disability pay has gone to our regular bills. I was just hoping maybe someone had a few extra dollars that you would otherwise never miss, and would maybe want to Venmo us so I can take her swimming at the lake to get out of the heat on those high temp days? Ok, and I'd enjoy it, too, I can't lie 😂 if you'd like to help, just message me and I can give you my Venmo. Thanks, everyone

Requesting: $20-40

Method: Venmo

Location: Arkansas USA

Question about Trash Panda variations

I love the lever action of a rifle, so I was just curious if anyone had been working on a 30-30 version, or if it was even possible. I love my Winchester 94 for hunting, and would love to print a backup rifle

Broken bobovr m2 pro

My son bought me a Quest 2 and Bobovr m2 pro for last Christmas, and I've been enjoying it regularly. I have never dropped it, abused it, or done anything that could cause damage. However, the forehead strap broke, so I can't really tighten the headset. In fact, only thing I can figure that may have caused this was I have a weird shaped head, so I always had issues getting it to stay tight on my head. Their customer support sucks, and they said they won't do anything to help me because it's for a Q2 and they don't support it anymore. I was hoping maybe I could find someone that had a junk one I could scavenge a forehead strap from before I shell out money on eBay for another one and hope I dont get ripped.

Today's super score!

Hit a local thrift store today and got an awesome score. Another 48oz Nalgene so I can carry two now, and the legendary GSI FairShare Mug and Bowl!! Didn't have a sleeve, but I knew I had to snag it before someone else did! Over 30 years old, so a lot of people have been looking for replacements.

When you can't go camping...

So I've been battling a blood illness that is leaning hard towards leukemia. I've fought and beaten cancer before, so I'm gearing up to fight again. Smear test and some other test to identify the type are in a few days, so I've been stuck at home. In the meantime, I've been clearing out the rig so I can build a new slide out kitchen and sleep platform. Well, I can't sleep worth a damn, so I'm up, sitting outside, just listening to the bugs and wild boars. Decided why not break out some backpacking gear and make some coffee. So I grabbed my Evernew 500ml pot, my Aeropress Go!, and some Fire Department Coffee. It sure is peaceful, but man I wish I had some company to keep my mind off everything. I think tomorrow I may just pitch one of my backpacking tents in the yard and make an adventure of it 😂

Is it worth grinding?

Ok, so a quick preface: I haven't played a single match since the new season started. I've been battling severe bone pain, so it hurts too much to hold and play my Switch most days. They have done lots of repeat blood tests, and they're not saying it's leukemia, but they are sending me to the oncology center again to be tested. This will be my second battle with cancer.

So with that all being said, is it worth it for me to try grinding for levels/battle pass or sprites?

My cat is pretentious

My cat goes camping with me quite often. I normally carry a full Nalgene and a bowl for him to drink from. Now, his spoiled ass has decided that he would rather drink from his Nalgene, even at home. What a prick, thinking I have nothing better to do than giving him his "cap water" 40 times a day #orangecatthings amirite?! 😂

05 Armada Repairs

Finally did some repairs to my Armada today. It has 320k miles, and the only repair done to it so far is a crank position sensor. Well, I figured today was a good day to add to that list. I did new fuel injectors because for the last 5 years #8 cylinder was dead. Did the injectors and now it runs like new again! Also finally replaced the fog lamp bulbs that had been out for over 5nyears as well 😂

Seriously, though, 22 years old with 320,000 miles and the list of repairs is crank position and fuel injectors.

Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas USA. Thought after years of not finding mushrooms on my property that I had finally gotten Golden Chanterelles...and then I cut one open and really looked. No gills, no white meat inside, just the same color. I believe they are Smooth Chanterelle? Can anyone confirm?

Canned jalapenos en escabeche

So my daughter tells me all the time that I'm weird, or calls me a freak, so thought I would ask in here...

Does anyone else buy 26-28 oz cans of jalapenos (La Morena, San Marcos, La Costeña, Embasa, etc) just to eat the entire can as a snack? I just finished another can, and was picked on by my daughter, which is what brought this up 😂

Mapo tofu

1 box Mapo Tofu sauce $2.50

1 block tofu $1.75

1 pack frozen "seasoning mix" (onion, celery, bell pepper, parsley) $1.50

1 tin of sardines in tomato $1.00

Homemade kimchi $1 (probably less)

1 bag rice $1

Green onion $0.50

Squirt of Chin-Su hot sauce $0

Total: $9.50

Makes 3 servings for me, so around $3.17/meal

You can leave out the sardines if you want, I just add it because I don't put any meat in the mapo which makes it $2.83

Wash and cook the rice however you like. Add a splash of oil to a skillet or wok, add in the frozen seasoning mix and saute for a few minutes. I also added the whites of the green onions. Once that's all softened, add in the mapo sauce and the whey from your tofu. Press your tofu with paper towels to dry it, and cut into cubes. Add to the pan and toss in the sauce. It's literally that easy. Then just plate and eat!

Ok, so let me start by saying I have like. 760 credit score. But, I'm disabled. I have tried getting a loan to buy myself a traveling home (RV van) so I can show my daughter places all over the country and make great memories before my body gives out. I have ZERO debt, and ZERO expenses now. So, I can EASILY repay a loan. However, no one wants to lend to me since my income is disability...which is stupid, because that means my income is guaranteed until I die. Does anyone here have any info of lending sources that will actually work with me? I actually found one build I'm really interested in for $4500

My daughter and I desperately need tires on our truck. To keep it simple, they're down past the steel belts and ready to blow. But I need my truck for docs/surgery/etc, so I put up a small $250 GoFundMe to put some used beaters on for now. Full info is on the link. Thank you to anyone that helps/shares!

One of my recent faves. Picked this one up, still new and unused because I thought it was funny and because there's no more Moosejaw, at least the ones near me shuttered the doors.
