    @CrashN'Burn the only downside to my system is having to fill up inside the bed. With the new bed configuration I’m planning on, it will be fillable from the outside. I’m still not sure if I want to bother with a heated water system. I got shower would be nice, but I can always heat up the water on the stove. My favorite solution to that problem is a water/heat exchanger plumbed to the trucks cooling system. Or the water lines run next to the diesel heaters exhaust. Options will arise when I start the new iteration of the bed. I will have a goose gear setup for sale soon.

    I also have a bunch of HDDs that need to be checked before they go too. Here's some of them.

    Yeah, I got rid of some hard drives. Dismantled to the best of my ability. Then beat the shit out of them with a single jack. Did keep two CD/DVD read write units. Thought maybe..... who knows. Probably throw them away next year.

    I love Trd sport hoods. They can hold beer while you take care of more pressing matters!

    I had two full AT towers each with two floppy drives and all the other goodies inside. ...and by full towers, I mean they were over 2 feet tall. They, along with a bunch of CRTs and other bits were put out at the curb years ago, when we weren't rural and still had those twice a year. The monitors all ended up getting their cables cut off by scrapers, and the cases were torn apart with the processors and RAM taken. One of the monitors was my prized 21" black Viewsonic CRT that I remember paying $400 for (used), because of the response time and resolution for gaming.

    Man how times have changed...

    Times sure have changed, if you had a 17” CRT flat with a .22 pitch? You were god! LoL. I’ve see a windows 3.1 system and old first gen Macs going on eBay for $300-500. Good times

    Haha, I recently found an old Win95 disc (in box); yes it was an original holographic CD.
    I also found my 6-disc set of FreeBSD install CDs circa 1995.

    I'm sure my dad still has my old 486 @66hz (the pre-Pentium processor), that probably hasn't been booted since before the win2k epidemic.

    I made one a while back with a 10 gallon tank, a pump with a built in a
    I just had a thought.

    I think you'd need 2 pumps for this to work.

    One pump pulls from the pot of water on the stove and pumps it into the tank.
    The other pump pulls from the tank and either pumps it into the pot to further heat the water or you use it to shower.

    This might not be all the efficient. An instant hot water heater might be better. On the other hand this would be inexpensive and you already have a stove and a pot. You'd just need water jugs, two pumps, hose, relays, switches and wires.

    FreeBSD and Linux where game changers. I still use Linux to this day. I've used just about every distro out there. I stuck with Arch for a long time. A few years ago I got tired of fixing my system every other update and switched over to Mint Cinnamon. Haven't changed since.
