Bad Memory??

July 29, 2016

Memory Loss

I suppose there are several cliches when it comes to memory… “Nothing lasts forever” comes immediately to mind. I wasn’t sure that was true when it came to computer memory but recent experience tells me that it may be true! My “handheld computer” – it’s not really a phone cause I hate talking on it… [Read More]

Speaking of speakers

Newmar Dutch Star Speaker Stereo Subwoofer Enclosure

JBAM (my motorhome home) has two stereos but not nearly enough speakers! Stereo #1 is the 110 volt surround sound system receiver for the A/V system. It uses five ceiling mounted speakers that do just fine for me and movies. I am not a “loud” TV watcher but I do enjoy surround sound. Stereo #2 is an… [Read More]

Diesel Pusher Maintenance – Air Filter Change

July 20, 2016

Newmar Dutch Star Cummins ISL diesel pusher air filter maintenance

Combustion engines rely the air filter to provide a good supply of clean air. Obviously, any dirt and debris that gets into an engine is a less than good thing. For some reason though, one hears that diesel engines are very particular about getting clean air. Since an air filter is a pretty easy thing to… [Read More]

e-Bike

e-bike bafang luna cycle bicycle electric battery

Whether it is obvious or not (from my lack of posts), I have been sitting around doing absolutely nothing. The fun-to-suck ration is not good. My frustration level is about as high as it gets but I am REALLY trying to follow my doctors’ orders. By the way, I saw him this week and I… [Read More]

Happy Independence Day!!

July 4, 2016

Happy Independence Day – 4th of July!!! A very big thank you for all our men and women in uniform that work so hard to preserve the way of life that so many have fought and died for!

Trade?

June 27, 2016

Mike of ZeroToCruising.com (an excellent blog, btw) recently wrote this super post about making a trade (or series of trades) to achieve ones goals.  I completely agree with him! Since my divorce several years back, my life goals have undergone massive change.  More importantly, I have put a plan into action to achieve those goals. … [Read More]

Battery Truths

June 24, 2016

Whilst sitting around doing nothing, per my doctors order (ok, as little as possible), I find myself perusing the RV and boat forums.  There are several VERY recurring themes, some of which are comical, some not so much.  The one about a battery being depleted and/or going “dead” for no “obvious” reason is a tiny… [Read More]

Lacking Excitement

June 20, 2016

Arm Surgery #4 is now complete. My surgeon was happy post-op so I am happy. The key now is for me to do absolutely nothing with it so it can heal as it is supposed to.  It is in a very secure cast and sling.  This means that I’m not doing much – I haven’t… [Read More]

Punch to the Gut

June 11, 2016

The news this week was not entirely unexpected but still a real punch to the gut. Another arm surgery is necessary. This is #4. I’m a fairly upbeat kinda guy but this whole arm thing has really worn me down.  Many of the things that I really enjoy are impossible in my current state and,… [Read More]

Rude and Confrontational

June 8, 2016

I am a very bad person. I post a fair amount on a couple of RV forums where I genuinely try to help other RV’ers. Apparently the forum moderators of at least one of these forums are part of the new era – the nobody is wrong, everyone is right, nobody should have their feelings… [Read More]
