I’m a pretty slow dude. The plastic bags that you get when shopping have annoyed me for years but I never did anything about it (except complain). I just keep hauling all those plastic sacks back to the Walmart plastic recycle box (which I always feared was just dumped into the trash bin). Possibly worth noting,… [Read More]
Sailrite Ultrafeed Sewing Machine
Some of you may have noticed – I enjoying sewing projects. I’ve never sewn any clothes though – mostly all “working items” such as my RV window sun shades, bicycle bags, and tote bags. My hope is to get good enough to be able to perform routine sail and upholstery repair (as noted here). Once… [Read More]
Monolith Garden Trailhead
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAMARON!!! – My son currently serving in Afghanistan. Up until a couple days ago, I was staying at the Monolith Garden Trailhead very near Kingman, AZ. It is located at the top of a 1 mile 6% grade called Coyote Pass on Route 93 just a few (2-3?) miles out of Kingman…. [Read More]
Sail Repair
I’ve decided to do what I can to learn some canvas and sail repair skills. Of course, I really, really, really hope to return to sailboat living someday so this skill is not just an exercise in killing time. I hope it is something I can actually use someday! I started by picking up a… [Read More]

New Look
It was time for a new look for the website. While it is here – I would not suggest that it is “done”. Send me your thoughts – I’m anxious to hear what people think!
Thar She SNOWS
Keeping the current theme going… We’ve got some snow! The last couple days of storms here in central New Mexico were mostly just wind – lots of wind. However; I see some snow on the nearby mountains! I suspect winter may be getting close.
Do No Right
Some days, it seems I can do nothing right. I was recently at a state park campground (I’m not going to say exactly when or where). I was at this same place a year ago. The check-in process is all self-serve. Fill out the form, put some money in it, put one copy in your… [Read More]
Conserve Data
Ways to conserve data is a pretty big deal for fulltimers that rely on cellular data as their sole source of Internet connection. Many folks think they can live or spend extended time in their RV and have all the comforts of home. Sorry, it just isn’t so…. Technology is moving fast. It is possible that… [Read More]
Flying Again
The past couple weeks I have been back in my old home – Mid Valley Airpark. My friends have treated me well and I’ve done enough flying to satisfy the urge. Thank you guys! I am truly blessed with all the wonderful friends that I have. Seeing friends all summer in Montana and then returning… [Read More]
