Last week in north Texas was HOT! Several days were near ninety degrees and the inside of the motorhome was warmer than that – this boy ain’t used to that kinda heat! It was obvious to me that I need a windshield sun shade – more than just the curtains on the inside. So, I… [Read More]
Lake Meredith Recreation Area
The Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is about 30 miles north of Amarillo, Texas. It is still a bit early to head north (still too cold at night for me) so I decided to try this spot. The lake is very low but that is true for nearly all lakes in the southwest so that… [Read More]
How Does it Feel?
I’ve been asked this a lot the last few days. As I noted in my last post, my house and airplane have been sold. The big change this week is that I am out of the house and am now live in motorhome full time. My house on wheels. For the most part, if feels… [Read More]
Changes are Afoot
A great deal has happened in the last month or two. I’ve been too busy to even post updates. I have sold my airplane. I have sold my house. I have sold most of my “treasures”. A new adventure is about to begin!! After waiting and stewing about this day for the last four years… [Read More]
Solar Charging System – Take Two
Note from JD: I’ve now (May, 2017) moved onto another motorhome and have installed 1.7Kw (1,700 watts) of solar panels on it – details here. I documented the installation of 650 watts of solar (Morningstar TriStar MPPT 45 charge controller and two SunPower E20 327 watts panels) on my last motorhome here. When I traded… [Read More]
Newmar Dutch Star
I am super pleased to report that I have done a bit of upgrading over the last few weeks. I am now the proud owner of a 2005 Newmar Dutch Star (DSDP 4023)! Shaneeda was great old girl and I had a lot of fun with her. She taught me a tremendous amount and kept… [Read More]
Indian Bread Rocks
I spent nine nights on a really nice BLM spot in southern Arizona this past week (early January 2015). It is called Indian Bread Rocks Picnic Area and/or Happy Camp Canyon. It is about ten miles south of Bowie, AZ. The surrounding hills are huge mounds of giant boulders and are really spectacular – particularly… [Read More]
Who needs friends like these??
Several of my friends took a look at my new vinyl sheet flooring in Shaneeda. They all loved it but all commented that the carpet around the front seats and doghouse had to go. Ugh… just another project right!?!? So, I started ripping that carpet out… For those not familiar, my RV is a Fleetwood… [Read More]
RV Flooring Replacement
The old carpet and linoleum in Shaneeda had served valiantly but it’s time had come. It was matted, dirty, torn, stained, and just nasty – very nasty. I wanted to keep putting it off but I couldn’t – it was time to replace the flooring. For many months I have agonized over whether to install… [Read More]
Big Spill 2014 – Broken Arm – Update 3
I am very happy to report that the broken arm is healing fairly well. I’ve been going to physical therapy twice a week for several weeks. Arm strength is increasing though my tricep is still incredibly weak. Range of motion is still rather poor but improving. I can now touch my face which is helpful…. [Read More]
