Big Spill 2014 – Broken Arm – Update 2

October 29, 2014

broken arm humorous screws titanium plate

Sadly, there just isn’t much going on right now so not much to post about. I can tell you that having a broken arm (humerus) really stinks. I’ve been making frequent trips to the doctor so he can keep tabs on the healing process. He seems happy with progress so I am too. All of… [Read More]

Big Spill 2014 – Broken Arm – Update 1

October 14, 2014

I’ve had my first checkup. It went pretty well and was quite shocking at the same time. The “how I got here” post is here. In short, a broken humerus in my left arm. The tech’s removed the splint which was producing a significant odor!! It was blood and goo soaked and it felt wonderful to… [Read More]

Big Spill 2014 – Broken Arm

October 10, 2014

What a bummer!  Shortly after posting my 1000 mile ride carbon bike update, it happened, The Big Spill of 2014. It was a leisurely Saturday ride on my road bike. I was about twenty miles in and decided to take a route I had never before taken. The route took me thru a high school… [Read More]

Idaho Backcountry 2014 – Part 3

October 8, 2014

Idaho Utah Backcountry Johnson Creek Vans RV-3 Camping

Once again, we were blessed with warm overnight temps so I slept well.  An early departure to the north took us to Big Creek for the lodge rebuilding fund raiser.  Interestingly, we got there before they were ready to serve breakfast!  Apparently those Idaho folks are not early risers like we are! 🙂  Rebuilding the… [Read More]

Carbon Bike Update

October 6, 2014

I now have approximately one thousand miles on my self-built Chinese carbon bike so I thought an update was in order. Firstly, I’ve seen some on the net refer to these bikes as a Chinarello, a play on the brand from which the design was obviously taken (Pinarello).  Worth a chuckle, at least to me…. [Read More]

Idaho Backcountry 2014 – Part 2

September 24, 2014

Idaho Utah Backcountry Johnson Creek Vans RV-3 Camping

Note: This is part 2 of this trip. Part 1 is here. Arriving in the Idaho backcountry is always a thrill for me.  The beauty is simply unbelievable and the rush of landing at these airstrips – even Johnson Creek (which is a pretty mild place) gets the blood pumping. Our arrival at went smoothly… [Read More]

Road Ride – TORGV

September 23, 2014

The 2014 “Tour of the Rio Grande Valley” (TORGV) was recently held in Albuquerque and I decided to give it a whirl.  I’m glad I did! Not knowing anyone makes these types of events very difficult for me to get involved with. In spite of that, I forced myself to give it a shot. After… [Read More]

Idaho Backcountry 2014 – Part 1

September 16, 2014

Bryce Canyon National Park Hike Hoodoo

My annual trek to the Idaho backcountry is something that I really look forward to. This year, the plan was pretty much the same as previous years. An RV-4 friend and I (me in my RV-3) would motor up north and spent a few days exploring the beauty of the Idaho backcountry as well as… [Read More]

Necky Manitou Kayak Dark Full Moon Bluewater

Last week was a full moon and I just happened to be near a lake.  What else could I do!?!?  I had to give night kayaking a try. Was it fun??  Check out these photos. The photo above was taken by my friend Andy Baird. He operates an excellent site for RV’ers at http://andybaird.com/ Note: For… [Read More]

RV Tire Pressure

August 22, 2014

RV motorhome tire pressure weight dual

There is a lot of discussion in the RV forums about motorhome handling. Of course, there all sorts of add-on accessories that range from expensive to very expensive and all sort of theories.  I have a very difficult time sorting the good theories from the bad.  Here’s what I know, Shaneeda is not new (twenty… [Read More]
