We made it back to New Mexico!! After spending some time in and around Colorado Springs, it was time to be home. Missy made the jaunt south without complaint – she even seemed to know where we were headed. That was really nice as, after setting the cruise control, I was able to make a… [Read More]
The Annual Purge
Once again, the annual purge and reorganization day(s) arrived much too quickly. Nonetheless, I found a nice 100 degree New Mexico day and started pouring the contents of Missy’s basement out onto the ground. The mess outside was immense. I guess that’s the downside of having a huge basement. The following is NOT all of… [Read More]
Hot Enough?? How about some COLD air??
Continuing the cold air saga that I began in this post… The installation of the rear Air Conditioner/Heat Pump and Fan-Tastic vent was a duplication of the front. Except the second time around was much smoother and there was no learning curve – just repeat what worked. I purchased a set of these Coleman 8530-3481… [Read More]
Satellite TV – Antenna Installation
I’ve been without satellite TV since I sold my last motorhome – JBAM – in November 2016. That has been very good for me. Of course, I have been able to receive over the air TV in some places. I also have a reasonably good movie & TV show digital library. However; after watching each… [Read More]
Ceiling Insulation & Panel Test
The summer sun is out and has gotten me thinking about ceiling insulation!! It tends to put some heat into the coach. Anything I can do to help prevent that is worth doing. In addition to preventing heat, I’ve been itching to get moving on several interior items. However; I’ve been sort of stuck as… [Read More]
O Water Pressure, Where Art Thou?
Have you seen the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”?? I love it! It is goofy as can be and makes me laugh. Thus; the title of this post. Remember I mentioned the water pump cycling issue I was having back here? Well, it continued after that post. And… things got worse this past weekend…. [Read More]
Introducing the New Hacienda – New Mexico Property
Surprise!!! I am the proud new owner of a wee property in west central New Mexico. It is a wonderful place! VERY quiet! Sorta remote (depending on your definition of ‘remote’). Lots of trees. Nobody within sight. The stars are absolutely fantastic!! I like names and am still searching for the right one for this… [Read More]
RV Holding Tanks vs Composting Toilet
The motorhome/RV “sewage” topic – particularly composting toilets vs holding tanks – seems to garner a lot of interest. It has been beaten to death and it is one of those topics that elicits a lot of passionate opinions. It is almost dangerous to respond to the topic on an Internet forum. I figured I’d… [Read More]
Dimmable Ceiling LED Light Panels
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! No… I’m not installing ceiling lights in Missy yet… 🙁 Fear not though… I have been making out just fine with some temporary LED light strips. However; I am getting close! I still need to decide on ceiling panels and get them installed. That thinking forced me to think about the lights… [Read More]
Mirrored Medicine Cabinet
A nice two-door, mirrored medicine cabinet showed up at my door a couple months ago. I didn’t do anything with it as I was so busy on other things. Well… not entirely true. I did have time to crack the mirror on one of the doors. Other than that, I didn’t do anything. As with… [Read More]
