Thank you to everyone who sent emails and messages asking if we were safe from the storms that tore through our part of the country Friday night. We dodged a bullet because they changed course and went north of us, so all we got was some wind and rain. Unfortunately, there was a lot of […]
Some of you may recall that in a blog post during our trip out west, I reported that just as we were leaving El Paso, Texas, to cross into New Mexico, a small stone flew up and chipped the windshield in our Laramie pickup. I had planned to get it fixed while we were in […]
My Mama didn’t raise me this way, and I know my Dad must be very disappointed in me, but it turns out I’m a racist. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was in myself when I got the news yesterday. I honestly never knew. This apparently stems from yesterday’s blog, when I mentioned a […]
Do you name your vehicles? Do you think they have a personality? I don’t think I have ever named one, but I do sometimes think they have a personality. I just didn’t know they had ears until now. I know what you’re thinking, cars are machines. Inanimate objects. They don’t have feelings, they don’t have […]
Get your mind out of the gutter, that’s not what I mean. Today will be a quickie blog post because we were both worn out last night and I wasn’t up to writing anything more. We were up early Monday morning to make the 120 mile trip to the Mayo Clinic for the first procedure […]
In a blog post a couple of days ago titled Building Stuff, I showed the cable and lock I had put together to secure our Honda generators when we have to use them outside during a power outage. At the time, I had the loops on each end of the cable secured with clamps and […]
This is going to be a short blog post, because I’m not feeling well and cannot come up with a lot to talk to you about. That doesn’t happen often, so I hope you’ll understand and let me slide, this time around. We haven’t been doing a lot, just enjoying being parked here at the […]
Hey, give me a break! You try coming up with clever blog post headlines every day! It’s hard work! 🙂 After reading yesterday’s blog, some readers wanted to know if the new high back seat from Sea Eagle was any improvement for my bad back. Yes, after paddling 90 minutes on Saturday afternoon, I had […]
Last year I posted a blog about a visit that the Tin Can Tourists paid to the RV Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhart, Indiana, and included several photos of the vintage and homebuilt RVs the club members own. One of my favorites was this beautiful cedar sided fifth wheel, named Wayzalot. The unique RV […]
When we got back to Elkhart Campground on Thursday, we had a huge box of mail awaiting us, so we spent most of Friday getting orders ready to mail out, and we managed to make it to the post office a few minutes before closing time. Yesterday we spent the day logging in all of […]
Miss Terry has been busy the last couple of days finishing a project on our MCI bus conversion. When we started the conversion, we left the escape hatch in the roof of our bus, which was in the bedroom, accessible. When we had our tripod mounted HughesNet satellite dish, we installed a custom roof mount […]
