Fulltime RV Living Adventures

Battleship

Fun Movie!  You have to chuckle at the similarities to the game (Battleship) – pay CLOSE attention!!   I really enjoyed this flick. It is definitely a feel good type of show. Very enjoyable – lots of action – lots of good characters!  The U.S. Navy was clearly very involved which makes for some GREAT scenes.

Dark Shadows

I hit the movies the other day and gave Dark Shadows a shot.  It seems that it was getting some poor reviews but a friend of mine said it was pretty good. It is fairly typical of the Tim Burton – Johnny Depp movies in terms of being kinda strange.  However; I really enjoyed it. … [Read More]

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

After my last experience with a tablet computer, I knew I wanted one. It just had to be better than my first cheap attempt. As a software developer, it was really important that I get some hands on experience with these units.  That said, I sure didn’t have $500 to spend.  So, I was really… [Read More]

Not Human??

Sadly, I have failed the test – I am not human. I thought I was but apparently not.  I tried to register myself on a forum/message board today and could not pass the two “prove you are a human” questions.  They seemed easy enough but after SIX attempts, I gave up.  I’d tell you which forum… [Read More]

Ditty Bags

I found a package of little ditty bags at Walmart for five dollars. These are made from nylon – I’m not sure if nylon or canvas is a better approach. These have drawstring closure. Three bags – small, smaller, and smallest are included and they have a drawstring closure. Can’t hardly make them for five bucks. … [Read More]

Grout Cleaning

It looks SOOO much better! That’s the good news.  The bad news is that it is not particularly distinguished work nor how I would prefer to spend my weekend (no, it didn’t take the WHOLE weekend). My home has tile on the floor throughout most everywhere except the bedrooms. I guess it is a travertine “look” and… [Read More]

Mine

Wow!  A whole week has shot by since my last post.  It has been a very busy week – I must be having fun. Actually, there is a lot of positive happening and I am VERY thankful.  I have been on a downer for so long – the upswing feels REALLY good. I don’t want to… [Read More]

Expensive Poop

I live in a rural area which means I have a septic system.  My home is near a river which means the water level is high. This requires an elevated leach field (or drain field, seepage bed, or soil absorption field) and a pump to lift the liquid waste up to the field from the… [Read More]

Sold

Well… waddya know…  I’ve been praying for some clear direction for my life and I seem to have gotten it. I put my sailboat up for sale and it sold.  Wham! Just like that. So, I packed up my things, loaded them in my car, and am on my way home. I feel a loss…. [Read More]

V Day

Valentines Day is not my most favorite day.  Sorry…
