Re: [Texascavers] Texas Speleology Center

[David via Texascavers]

I can definitely clean out my rental storage unit and find something that
might be worthy of donating.

I have some old furniture, a nice old wood gun cabinet, some nature books,
an old small camp stove, lots of metal serving plates.  2 white-gas
lanterns, an old coffee table.  2 respectable old leather office lobby
chairs, a Canon printer/copier

I can eventually build a Linux desktop computer, once I have enough parts.
I think I have everything needed, but a power supply and an SSD.

I would rather see you all sell the old dusty stuff in a yard sale for $ 1,
than to let the storage auctioneers get it, only to throw it in a dumpster.

I have boxes and boxes full of junk items worth 5 cents in a yard sale.

I have a box of 50 Lexan tea glasses used once at our wedding in 2001.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of a large chopping block that disappearred
from the big event years ago in Kerrville, I would like to donate that.
 Maybe wherever The Oztotl Circus Tent is stored.  An equivalent one
retails for $ 90 in stores.  Otherwise, I have a smaller chopping block, a
toaster oven, a hot-dog cooker, and 3 old sinks and a bookshelf.

I would have to haul it all from Brenham, in a trailer, I guess.

Re: [Texascavers] Announcing the Texas Speleology Center

[William R. (Bill) Elliott via Texascavers]

I am very glad to hear of this development. I look forward to working in the 
AMCS and TSS libraries when I move back to Texas. Maybe I could draft some lost 
cave maps. 

Thanks!

trailers and equipment or holding talks and events. The Center currently holds 
the AMCS library, which we anticipate will continue.

The TCMA and TSS wish to thank the many people who helped this purchase come to 
fruition and we look forward to inviting the Texas caving community to join us 
at the Center in the upcoming year for many projects and events!

[Texascavers] Spanish 103

[David via Texascavers]

I have not learned any new Spanish in over a year.

Next time you are in a Mexican restaurant, and the waiter first ask you
what you want to drink say,

"El coctel Monterrey, por favor,"
 or with a group,
"unos cocteles Monterrey, por favor."

Re: [Texascavers] A mobile-camp-kitchen idea.

Google tells me that Loews is a Canadian hotel chain. And I already have a camp 
kitchen, so I'm not driving that far north and staying in that hotel just to 
get another one.

Re: [Texascavers] A mobile-camp-kitchen idea.

[Allan Cobb via Texascavers]

This is a pretty good idea. I am of the opinion though that the table 
part takes up space in the box. You would probably be better off with a 
big box like that for stuff and a 4 foot plastic top office table or a 
folding 5 foot table (although I hate those folding tables). It gives 
you more table space and more storage space in the box for less money.

[Texascavers] A mobile-camp-kitchen idea.

[David via Texascavers]

LOEW's Store has a large heavy-duty plastic box on wheels
that has a unique feature.

Upon opening it, it transforms into a small workbench.

A creative caver could modify this in such a way that it would make a
super-quick fold-out kitchen.

All the metal pots and pans and utensils would be stored below and a
lightweight cutting board could be placed on top.

You could easily prepare food for 10 people with this.   And if you had
room for two or three of them, even more expedtion-like food preparation
could be done.

The drawbacks are that it far heavier that a fold-out Coleman-style
kitchen, and work-table is small and it is $ 170 plus tax.

Brand:   Irwin
Model:   Mobile Command Center

https://mobileimages.lowes.com/product/converted/042526/042526950780.jpg


You could also make a dedicated Medical Station, or a dedicated internet
station, or maybe prop up a tv for some kind of remote presentation.

The main feature is quick-setup
