I remember you mentioning you refrigerate your books. I don't get it. My fridge will be full of beer and eggs. (note to self- bring Beano) What is B, B & Bulli Gras? And I swear- the national weather service says the average temps for that weekend is 70* high and 51* low. Much like this weekend was. We will be all good. They also say Feb. and March are the driest months. --- On Mon, 2/7/11, whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Small Comforts To: "TCB" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, February 7, 2011, 4:30 AM Don't know anybody that uses the fridge for anything other than a library (revisit). About those rings, Freedom van Go makes it's own. :) Btw: it was B, B & Bulligras. ;) Dang this weekend was camping weather!

Splitties are the apex of VW charm and style. Death traps that they are. As time passes the bus grew safer, more efficient, and less charming. I do respect the Vanagon for all it's creature comforts, but I chose the late bay as it was the best compromise between charm and safety/ efficiency. Nature abhors right angles and those bay curves are just adorable. I will admit those big 3-way fridges and the roof vents in the pop tops do make me gnash my teeth, but my Buckminster can cute circles around any vanagon. I was actually momentarily tempted to get a Vanagon, but the prices were ridiculous! Everybody is trying to sell them with 120,000 miles, never rebuilt, about to blow a gasket, for like $7000! WTF?! I was like. "Hale Naw! I like the funky 70's plaid interior better anyway." --- On Mon, 2/7/11, whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Small Comforts To: "TCB" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, February 7, 2011, 3:51 AM No love lost there.

These things make Starbucks taste like Sanka. Let me know and I'll pass on the links. Has anybody else found any great camping space savers? Or has anybody else been looking for a diminutive alternative to any particular daily luxury or tool? Do have any space saving tips? Let's ask and share. Example- Ya know those space saving bags you put pillows and sweaters in then vacuum the air out? Any good garbage bag will work just as well for a day or three. Twist the top and tie it. Don't want to carry a vacuum? Just stop at the nearest car wash and drop a few quarters. Those suckers will suck your pillows flatter than an armadillo an I-45. Toss it all in your pop-top and stretch your legs all the way home.
