[ATTACH=full]1288._xfImport[/ATTACH] And this definitely proves it's not your buying it... you don't have a pot to piss in amigo, so no way you are affording financing on $55K worth of RV. And honestly that's awfully low end price for a class C or A. Most newer ones go between 90K - 300K that I've looked at (yes, we've contemplated getting one and probably will when our furbaby numbers drop to 1-2). You must be picking up some 20 year old units - the ones I've seen in the 27K range were '98-99 models. Even the 2007 ones were in the $40K range. Class A's were similarly priced. Or are these those dinky class B ones? Even those 10 year old ones (2007 model) are around $35K. And no way in hell would most people buy a more than 10 year old RV based on a light truck chasis. These are retail prices of course.... but generally private sell prices are not but a few thousand below retail price.

[ATTACH=full]1285._xfImport[/ATTACH] So Gary, you are saying you purchased the motor home? Let's see your bill of sale. Oh, and the banjo was a little more than that... more like £613. And that banjo does belong to me. Hell, in that case my trip to San Antonio with my niece WAY outweighed your motor home. We went to look at houses and the one she and her husband settled on was around £3,686,352 - so by your argument, I win again.

[ATTACH=full]1284._xfImport[/ATTACH] Only you could misunderstand someone so completely Gary. Here, let me spell it out for in simple terms. What you did is not excessive for many people, especially those of us that live in a large state in the US. And you make it seem like it was a "job" to do and the only reason to do it, and we do it for joy/pleasure - as do many people.

[ATTACH=full]1283._xfImport[/ATTACH] Gary... please, holy mother of God, look up what most people call a day trip or being a day-tripper. But I guess for you McDonalds is a visitor attraction or a tourist destination? I honestly got a feeling we have MORE amenities on the open road here in the states than you do. And what you did isn't a big deal.. shit, I drove to Dallas when my son called me to come pick him up when he sold his Mustang up there... and I had already been up for 17 hours then and that is a 3 1/2 hour round trip. You act like it's a big thing, and I guess for someone that spends most of their time in a residential environment it would be. I've even driven to Austin and back in a day a few times just to go by Bobalu's on 6th street because I wanted some of their hand rolled cigars. Oh, and that's 176 miles one way.

[ATTACH=full]1281._xfImport[/ATTACH] Try quoting the entire post for context Gary. And do you not understand the meaning of taking a DAY trip. You normally don't take one of those in the middle of the night as most of the places are closed. You leave in time to arrive in the city around 9-10 am (which is a peak traffic time) and then plan on leaving out around 6-8pm (which again is normally a high traffic time). It's apparent that you don't do a lot of driving/traveling. Hell, I've been in traffic in Dallas that took you 2 hours to drive about 20 miles, so cry me a river about traffic.

[ATTACH=full]1280._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then you didn't take a power nap. Those are between 10-30 minutes (most concur that 10-20 is best). Any longer and you risk sleep inertia. And yes, I'm familiar with power naps as it was something that was taught in some of the disaster recover training sessions I've attended.

[ATTACH=full]1278._xfImport[/ATTACH] No Gary, you make it sound like driving 400 miles round trip is a big deal... it may be for someone that doesn't drive often, but for many people that is a normal drive to take a day trip somewhere. Of course, you have to remember I live in a rather large state so your comments on the "high" mileage is actually comical for us. [ATTACH=full]1279._xfImport[/ATTACH]

It's not that bad when you are younger... but as you get older it catches up to you. It does show a lack of maturity to do that for "work" on an hours sleep unless you have to (I'm thinking a time of natural disaster where you may be working 16 hours on/8 off - but even then you schedule at least 6 hours sleep.

He acts like 400 miles is a long trip. A day trip to one of our larger cities is 300 miles round trip easy - and we do frequently drive that in a day and then spend 6-8 hours there in the city goofing off. Heck, to drive across Texas takes about 14 hours (including stops) if using I-10.

Actually not free with NameCheap. Since they sell SSL certs, they try to say that the LetsEncrypt ones are not as "secure" and do not have that ability enabled on cPanel. They want you to buy a cert from them. You can use a LetsEncrypt, but you can't automate the 3 month renewal easily.

And on the PHP advisory board if I remember?
