  • Yeah, but it’s different in an RV. With a countertop unit, you’d have to either secure it for travel, losing limited counter space in the process, or find somewhere to stow it, and storage in a camper is already at a premium. There’s also the fact that any form of dishwasher operates on 120vac, meaning you can only use it when you’re on shore power or running a genny (whereas a refrigerator can auto switch between propane and 120v). Again, not saying it can’t be done, but there are logistical concerns that mean dishwashers and other large appliances are the first to be forgone.



















  • Honestly I think it’s more of just becoming responsible as you age and your body’s requirements get more specific. When I was young, I could eat anything and anything. Now, dairy is fully off the table, breads and carbs in general need to be of a minimum quality, and volume of consumption absolutely cannot be what it used to be. I think the key of it is to just be cognizant of what works and what doesn’t, and have the self control to direct yourself to the right choices (especially when options are limited). It certainly comes with experience that aging provides. I’m sure there are some people that are so well tapped into their bodies that it’s automatic like muscle memory, but for the rest of us it’s definitely learned and steered.


  • I’m an electrician, and cordless tools are ten times easier to manage on a jobsite. There are also plenty of times like where I’m doing a service panel upgrade, corded tools aren’t even an option when there’s no site power, and I’m not lugging a generator around.

    At the end of the day, cordless tools just make the entire day easier. The battery situation is annoying, but I’ll gladly pay the price for the convenience, especially when time and efficiency gets me paid quicker and home sooner. All those little efficiencies add up over the course of a day.
