Hi Dave,
RH> don't want to cut back now when I need the help. I'm still on O2 just
RH> at night.
DD> Be happy you don't need oxygen constantly. The medical supply picked
DD> up my portables - so now, if I want to go out and about I have to
DD> wrestle a cylinder of oxygen on a tow along cart into the car, keep it
DD> from flopping around whilst I'm drivifg - and the haul it behind me
DD> where I go.
Not fun. One of our vet friends was on just the portable when he was out
tanks when we first moved to WF. Now he's on the big cylinders, going
thru several a day and dragging one whenever he goes out. Had to give up
some of his charity photography work because he couldn't shoot pictures
and juggle the cylinder at the same time.
RH> Late 2015 we bought a 2016 Escape. Spring of 2016 we had a storm with
RH> hail, did a number on the vehicle but insurance covered a restoration
RH> job. Had a not so nice encounter with wind, snow and ice in Wyoming
RH> that December, car was repaired but we'd bought the Frontier to get us
RH> home, liked it better so the Escape was sold.
DD> Don't recall meeting your Escape. I do remember the Nissan. I'd like
We had the 2009 Escape from 2009 to 2015 but it didn't have the towing
"oomph" needed for the R-Pod so traded it for the 2016 model in late
2015. That's the one that had the wrong encounter with the ice, wind,
etc in Wyoming, in December, 2016. We came home from that trip in the
Frontier.
DD> to find one similar for my own use. But the price of cars and pickups
DD> as gotten obscene. I located one very similar to a unit I had priced
DD> as a "new" purchase. This on had 87K miles on it and was priced ar
DD> just
DD> $29,000 - which blew me away. The new unit I had priced was only
DD> $21,000 delicered inclusive of taxes, tile license and insurance. Go
DD> figure.
Cheaper to buy the new. We needed something with more tow power when we
bought the new camper in 2023 so traded the Frontier in on a 2018 F-150
and have been happy with it. Had to kick it into 4 wheel drive the other
day going over a mountain pass (on a dirt road) near Monument Valley the
other day.
Easy do, just make sure you label it as livers. Our girls are not fond
of it and have never fixed it for their families but older daughter
bought some chicken/duck pate the other day for a light buffet meal.
Turned out her family didn't care for it but she liked it. My favorite
way to fix liver was with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in an
Italian seasoned tomato sauce, served over rice sprinkled with parmesan
cheese.
