    I sleep in my car and do uber eats like you bit i also work at home depot as part time. I hate it renting because there was always problems and every couple of months increase in rent. I have gotten so used to sleeping and living in my car that i find it more peaceful to be outdoors in the park, stores nature beaches etc. God is always with us, we might not be rich but we are rich in spirit.

    I can't tell you how much I respect you for spending time with your son. I didn't have that when I was growing up. I don't say that to make anyone feel sorry for me, I say it because I believe when he grows up and gets older like me, he will remember having his Dad around and in his life. There's nothing that will ever change that. Thanks for being a good Dad.

    The problem could be the cooker. Press and hold the reset button on the Jackery for about 10-15 seconds until it shows reset. You can do this once in a while if it seems sluggish. Love the music you play at Planet Fitness. On to 25K subscribers!

It would be wonderful if, when there are changes in family dynamics, more people could embrace the "we are still a family," mindset - from all sides of whatever changes took place.

    I have the same Jackery. I was very naive when I started living in my car. I bought the smallest heater I could find. It would turn on and off because it was close to max wattage the Jackery would allow. It would be totally drained in under 2 hours. I went to Dick’s and boughs the smallest propane heater you can buy. Not the safest option but you need to put it on a flat surface and it heats up the car very quickly. Enough where in 5 minutes you shut it and fall asleep comfortably.

    Have you considered getting a power inverter installed into your car? I have one in my truck, I'm a locksmith and use it to power up my key cutting machine as well as power tools, you can of course use it for anything, it runs off your main battery but also works for short periods of time even with the engine off. You could still use your jackery for your tablet and smaller items but for cooking the inverter would be ideal

    They sell cheap little inverters at Walmart, cigarette lighter port to 110. Maybe get one as a backup incase you have future issues with the jackery so at least you could use your pot

    I suggest a $12 hiker stove and fuel canister with a cheap pot as a backup.

    I would test the dash cooker on other power sources before pointing the finger at your jackery, because it otherwise worked fine for quiet a wile prior.

    Just a F.Y.I ! Amazon has a Ecoflow 600W power station for $239.00. I bought one about a month ago. At that time it was on sale. I paid $178.00 for it. I haven’t seen other 600 W power stations at this price! Just letting you know incase you need one with more wattage! Do you think there might be an issue with your rice cooker? It seems the power station is working fine!

    I love taco bell. It is my favorite fast food place. I like the nachos. I like the 5 layer burrito as well. Sometimes plans change but you made the best out of the changed plans! 😁
