    Beer From Gel Packs: Carry Brew Anywhere

    I've been looking for additional ways to cut down weight while moto camping. And, to find dual or more uses for everything I carry. Water is a good example: hydration, cooking, cleaning, coffee, radiator if needed, fire safety, etc. Beer is a bad example: beer. Can't do much else with it, takes...

    Garage Stereo

    Sadly, my vintage Pioneer SX-780 receiver has passed away... again. It died once before, so I took it to a place in San Jose off Winfield to have it repaired. I really liked this unit, but I'm thinking it's time to move on. I don't need AM/FM, so just an amp with inputs for a 3.5mm, USB, RCA and...
