The REAL adventures of terapined
I'm curious: do you have any issues charging your e-bike on the RV generator? My owner's manual says not to use generators to charge, but a lot of people do it.

So you only charge it when you are fully hooked up? Do you ever dry camp?

The last 6 years I have not dry camped once
I get a full hookup every nite
I'm retired and worked hard my whole life
I want to be comfortable with all my electric toys 😉
House On The Rock
It absolutely blew me away
Room after amazing rooms

Awesome that you got to see it. I grew up not far from there (bicycling distance as a teenager); House on the Rock was a few grade school field trips, as well as a daytrip with an elder aunt giving my parents a break.
The terrain of the whole region is stunning, from around Galena, Illinois, up to LaCrosse and Sparta, Wisconsin, right on to Black River Falls.

I'm guessing you skipped the obvious corny tourist attractions, like the World's Largest Potato Masher?

Nooooooooooo!
Quote: billryanI've been wanting to see House on the Rocks since I read about it in American Gods. Some folks think it is built on magical land.
link to original post
That's why I visited. I never heard of the place till I read American Gods. Even though it's fiction, a good deal of the book takes place there and the author did an excellent job of describing it. Ever since then I always wanted to visit. What's amazing is that I was blown away. It was way way better then I thought it would be
Quote: billryan"The Thing" in Dragoon, Arizona, is one of the last " roadside attractions" left. It used to be truly corny, but the new owners spent a lot of money and actually brought in some real items to go with the fakes the place is famous for. At $5 a person or $10 a group, it can be very entertaining if you leave reality behind.

I prefer spectacular street art murals such as this in Detroit
Or this in some small Wisconsin town I passed through
Looking for something to do today and heard of the Churchill museum in Fulton MO.
Took a side trip today out to Fulton Mo. Museum was great. Churchill gave a speech here at the invitation of Truman warning of the impending cold war.
What blew me away was the Church above the museums 1st floor. This Church was actually built in the 12th century. Yup. A 12th century Church sitting in some small rinky MO town. The Church burned down in the 1600's and was rebuilt. It was in the middle of London and got bombed by Germany in 1940. London decided to demolish it. A supporter on the local Fulton college heard about this and wanted to save the Church. He paid to have every brick and stone from the Church shipped overseas to Fulton MO. They rebuilt the Church the Germans almost destroyed.
Incredible

?????????
I never said I was done with this place
You are coming off as livid and angry
Why
Chill out
What Ive said is that I could care less about getting suspended from this place. Suspensions here mean nothing to me because I barely post here.
I post on reddit. The map I posted here got millions of views and hundreds of comments on reddit.
I prefer reddit these days
I'm about honesty and and against censorship. This site is about fake gambling stories and censoring any comment against that fiction. Come on. A forum with anonymous members = nothing can be believed
I dont believe any story on any anonymous forum. That's just common sense.
That's all lol
I have a feeling I will get suspended for this
Oh the horror of a suspension. How will I survive lol

Just keep posting your pictures and stories. I think most members find them interesting. Despite our (generally childish) political squabbles I always congratulate you on …
You made a plan for retirement.
You have executed that plan to a tee.
Keep on keeping on.
Visited Missouri State Penitentiary
Pretty Boy Floyd did time there
Sonny Liston learned how to box in this prison
The FBI claimed Pretty Boy Floyd participated in the Kansas City Massacre.
The FBI lied about Pretty Boy Floyd. The FBI lied about the massacre. Pretty Floyd was never there. There was no massacre. It was a totally botched operation by the FBI. The agent was in the backseat with a shotgun he didn't know how to operate. He actually blows off the head of the prisoner and driver with his shotgun. The mobsters intending to free the prisoner come upon the scene and are shocked. One yells out " They're all dead, let's get out of here"

The few times I have looked at Reddit over the years the place just looks insane to me. This is probably the reason
"Rudeness: Users often act overly critical, argumentative, and mean behind the safety of a screen.
Superiority: Many community members are perceived as know-it-alls who talk down to others.
Negativity: Simple questions or requests for basic advice are frequently met with cynicism, insults, or heavy downvotes.
Problematic Moderation
Abuse of Power: Moderators often enforce arbitrary rules with no transparency or clear reason.
Censorship: Users can get permanently banned from entire communities just for disagreeing with a moderator or posting in a different subreddit."
The fact that you say you love it there is just perfect.

I think I have heard almost that exact list of complaints across dozens and dozens of different moderated forums over the past 40 years.
It's not just Reddit, or Facebook, or WoV.

Yeah but on Reddit it seems to be amplified 1000 percent.
Quote: billryanI noticed you haven't visited Long Island on your travels. It is well worth the trip. Taking an RV through the city to get there can be daunting, but driving through at night isn't bad. You can also take a ferry from Connecticut to the North Shore. Fall is really nice, as summer residents and tourists have retreated back to the city.
link to original post
I attended a wedding on Long Island back in the day. I must have sat on the Long Island expressway for hours moving at a crawl. Not sure I want to experience that again. Not sure if there are affordable RV parks on Long Island. Cheap land = reasonably priced RV parks. I dont think Long Island land is cheap.

On the flip side WOV has some absurd rules
Its a suspendable offense here to express skepticism of a gambling story posted by an anonymous member.
?????????????
I would think skepticism would be required common sense.
Not here at WOV lol

So small. Not a lot on display
I thought the largest potato chip would be bigger

I have always enjoyed your posts about your travels and 'adventures.' Personally, I have always considered you to be a valued member of the forum. But your feuding with both MDawg and Wizard and your persistent unrestrained criticism of them has indeed caused you some problems.
If you lived in a small town and constantly criticized two people in the town as loudly as you can at every social gathering, at every town meeting and every sporting event and every time you're in the grocery store and every time you're in the hardware store - well, people would start to avoid you because of your behavior. And when that kind of behavior occurs on the internet it amounts to trolling. You call it "honesty", but when it is persistent, unrestrained and unending then others call it harassment.
Again, the material you are posting in this thread is very interesting. But for some reason, without any provocation, you have burst into the same old harangue about fictitious stories and your grievances over being censored. Well, whatever. Yadda yadda yadda. Carry on.
