Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.

I’m getting old and am a whitewater kayaker. You have to go where the water is which means a lot of long road trips and long weekends. Setting up and tearing down camp constantly wears you down. Now I pull in. Sleep. Can drive part way and sleep at a truck stop. Much nicer. Mine has the bed over the garage so bikes and snowboards can just live there all the time too. Most creek and freestyle boats fit inside too until I get around to putting the racks on. Then I’ll also have an awning and solar.

I keep my paid off subie around, but I do like driving the camp converted van around because I can just sit and relax without having to go all the way home.

Usenet and IRC were the good ole times.

Weak. You can easily jam IR by holding a button on another remote. No need to stand there with your hand over it.

No. Just leave it at the current summer setting.

Rutter’s peanut butter chocolate milk ftw!

I assume op runs an instance, then?

My gf pays half the mortgage. She lives here. She uses everything. She helps with bills. This is a lot less expensive than if she were paying rent elsewhere.

She also didn’t contribute to: new fridge, new kitchen floor (damage from old fridge), new bathroom ceiling (mold damage), new driveway, new garage, tree removal and trimming, new door (that broke when she failed to latch it in high wind), and all other house stuff.

asking half the mortgage when the burden of all the rest is on you is not asking a lot.
