Guess what we woke up to yesterday morning? That’s right, more rain! I don’t mean to snivel, but I’m getting really tired of rain. Just about the time we have two or three good days and it starts to dry out, we wake up to this mess again. Yeah, I know I shouldn’t complain. People […]
For a long time I have labored under the misconception that my son Travis and I were pretty tight. As a single father, I did the best I could by him, and though we have butted heads sometimes over the years, I really thought we were okay. But I guess I was wrong. My kid […]
After reading yesterday’s blog, where I mentioned that we are trading in our 2005 Ford Explorer on our new pickup, four different blog readers contacted me asking if I would consider selling it to them because it is already set up for towing behind a motorhome, with the Blue Ox baseplate and auxiliary braking system. […]
At least it seems that way around here sometimes. As I’ve said before, since I’m a slow two-finger typist and I narrate my books into either a Sony digital recorder and then transcribe them with Dragon software, or else I dictate directly into Dragon. Neither of these are perfect, and I wind up with lots […]
For the last month or so, every so often when I would turn on my Dell desktop computer, it would not fully boot up. It would start the process and then go to a blank screen. Usually when that happened it would take two or three attempts before the computer would finally come on. Then, […]
My driver’s license may say I live in Edgewater, Florida, but yesterday I felt like I spent much of the day in Frustration City. That’s not a pleasant place to be, and I’m not a pleasant person to be around when I’m stuck there. The day started off on a bad note when I stepped […]
Clicking the Publish button to upload a new book to Amazon doesn’t mean an author’s work is over. Nope, not even close. And yesterday was a good example of why. I spent a good part of the morning answering a backlog of emails that had built up while I was pushing to get the new […]
After being so lazy on Saturday, I decided that that yesterday I had better get a move on before Miss Terry decided she had to dust me. Kind of like that old Army saying that if it moves, shoot it, and if it doesn’t move, paint it. Actually, maybe that was a bad idea; I […]
I spent most of yesterday getting some work done. Actually, I got a lot of work done. At least by the end of the day, I felt like I had been working. Of course my work never involves any kind of physical labor if there is any way at all to avoid it. And since […]
Sometimes I don’t have anything special to write about, because a lot of the time, living in an RV is just like living in a house or apartment. We do chores, we goof off, we visit friends, and before we know it, the day is gone. Yesterday was a good example. My friend Dave Damon […]

Several people have shown us the excellent cabinets, furniture, and RV accessories that Amish craftsman Carlyle Lehman creates at his company, Focal Wood Products LLC, in Nappanee, Indiana. So when we got our Winnebago Ultimate Advantage, we paid a visit to Carlyle and talked to him about building a set of custom desks/workstations for us. […]
Well, depending on which internet weather report you want to believe, we are either going to have several more days of wet, cold weather, alternating between rain and snow showers; or we are going to see sunshine and temperatures in the low 60s this week. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how […]
I spent most of yesterday setting up my new computer, loading all of the programs I use into it, and transferring projects I had been working on from my laptop to the new desktop unit. Even though the laptop and the desktop are both Dell computers using Windows XP, there were still enough things that […]
I have decided not to attempt to sell our bus and find a used rig as a replacement. Instead, today we are placing our order for a new 2009 custom built 45 foot Prevost coach with triple slides and every option. We have gone with a beautiful black and gold custom paint job, and the […]
