Finally, in late 2014, a replacement vessel was found and entered service the following summer. The ship was formerly known as the iconic Blue. Reviewing the Fundy Rose, ...

prone to wander...: Carpe Diem Fail
http://www.tomrowsell.com/2015/03/carpe-diem-fail.html
Of Ammonia Absorption Refrigeration and the Like. Monday, March 30, 2015. Since there's no point in wasting more time crying over it, all we can do now is purpose to do better, starting today. Carpe Diem! To be fair, it's a little easier to be active and happier in the warmer weather, but realistically, we don't live in a warm place so we must either overcome, or be doomed to a life of complaining for 6 months, Is that what we want? Explore the whole concept of being mindful, living in the moment, and av...

prone to wander...: Outback Lodge Tent
http://www.tomrowsell.com/2013/10/outback-lodge-tent.html
Of Ammonia Absorption Refrigeration and the Like. Monday, October 7, 2013. A good Kijiji find, and addition to my supplies; a single walled throwback tent, Cabelas Outback Lodge. They are $350 new. At 10' x 10', it's quite the mansion :). It's seen some use, but is still in great shape. a classic with a single pole in the center. It "only" weighs in at 16 pounds. That's pretty light for a beast of such size. I'm hoping to try it out winter camping, but we'll see. Posted by Tom Rowsell. Want What You Have.

prone to wander...: Receiver Hitch Table
http://www.tomrowsell.com/2015/05/receiver-hitch-table.html
Of Ammonia Absorption Refrigeration and the Like. Monday, May 11, 2015. Nothing says "redneck" like 2" receiver hitch accessories. I just dug this out of my "stores", after forgetting I even had it. Yes it's a small table that slides into a 2" hitch receiver. I thought that the nice "curved" hunk of 2x2 steel might be good for something else too, a bed extender for example, for carrying long items etc :). Posted by Tom Rowsell.
