House Insurance Canceled due to Wildfires Potential
Sorry you're dealing with that. A friend recently told me they're dealing with a similar situation. I hope you both find a company that will work with you. This trend is making me wonder about my own future plans for retiring to a home in the mountains.- Paul in Idaho

Test your truck battery and check its cables
Bumping this PSA back to the top for 2025. A mechanic warned me the battery was already failing so I replaced it again today, cleaned the cables, and replaced the positive terminal. I'm headed to mule deer country later this evening. Good luck to everyone!- Paul in Idaho
