Wow Rudy, looks like you had a close call there. The water was lapping at your wheels!

wmkbailey · 08-09-2013, 09:42 AM

I saw in the news where some building in TN got washed off their foundations. You were lucky.

JakeC · 08-09-2013, 09:48 AM

Dang, that is a lot of water! Glad your bus didn't head down the river!

browncrown · 08-09-2013, 10:02 AM

Glad you're still a little above all that water...be safe!

bansil · 08-09-2013, 12:40 PM

OH! You didn't know I had an amphibious bus?

bapos · 08-11-2013, 10:28 AM

Wow

Really wish you could send some of that access to Texas.... My area is nice HOT and DRY. I think I have cracks in the dirt that I can see say 3-4 inches down in the ground? Whatever you don't use please send my way.

Thanks

To my fellow Skoolies:

Sorry about the photos from any posts that I have authored, or contributed to, not being there. I will correct the situation.

Upon receiving notification that my bandwidth limit had been reached, I originally thought that it was regarding the amount of pics that I had uploaded to Photobucket. I eliminated a bunch of pics that I had never used for posting.

That was not the solution.

The bandwidth refers to when anyone views my posts. It means that when someone views my posts, the pics are sent to their computer using an amount of the bandwidth allotted to me by Photobucket.

I now have the option of paying for a 50 gig allowance or waiting 15 days for the free 10 gig allowance to reset.

The pics will be back, either way.

bansil · 08-28-2013, 07:35 AM

interesting?? I have never heard of that in all my years of build threads etc

how were you notified?

You could try a Flickr free account. They offer 1TB of online storage with no bandwidth limit. The free account is ad-supported, but it has virtually everything else anyone would need in a hosting service.

Ad-free accounts are $50/year.

Thanks for the info. I just don't want to lose all my photos on this forum.

I can get a substantial increase of bandwidth for $30 a year.

Gotta get in touch with a person who works for Photobucket.

bansil · 08-28-2013, 05:28 PM

I notice mine resets 2morrow and I was at 8% left

I recommend you stay with your current hosting provider. Trying to change now would result in you loosing every pic you have ever posted.

Other hosting providers may offer you a better deal now, but will change there conditions later.

Try using Imgur! They are free and have no limit. They do delete your pictures if they get less than one view every 6 months though.

Accordion · 09-12-2013, 08:11 AM

Yipee, my pics are back. I am good for perhaps another year.

Accordion · 09-12-2013, 05:39 PM

A few new pics. I tried to capture the purple flowers. I suppose that if you have good eyesight, you may see the five purple flowers.

The thing with the big wheels is a gas engine that is a hundred years old.

Diesel Dan · 09-12-2013, 07:41 PM

Cool picture. I see the purple flowers, but I think the blue on your bus distracts the eye from that color hue which makes the flowers harder to see. Glad to see you have found such an idyllic place to live!

Not too much to report.

I will tell you that I had to replace my rugs because my dog, Buddy, had diarrhea. I went to the pharmacy and asked where the medicine for that was. I asked if it would work on a 60 lb dog. The woman said that it was not a good idea, and perhaps it would make it worse.

She asked the head pharmacist what would work for a dog. He said rice.

I went online, and found a home remedy.

First: Don't feed the dog for 24 hours.
Second: mix Pedialite 50-50 with their water.
Third: feed the dog white rice.

They will definitely eat it after a 24 hour fast.

It works.

I went to Home Depot and got a roll of grey carpet (same as on my ceiling) for under twenty dollars. It was six feet wide by twenty feet long.

Here is a photo of one of the blackberry bushes co-existing with white and purple flowers.
