RV Living
A thaw in the long, cold COVID winter?
Recently I attended an event at my resort – an outdoor concert with a food truck. I was able to get dinner (a cajun fish po-boy – messy but good) and listen to some very nice music. It was almost like the old days. Still lots of social distancing and some masks worn, but it … Continue reading
5% report
It is now January 18, which means we are about 5% of the way through 2021 and I have not posted to the blog. Why? Because there hasn’t been much of interest to report. Rusty and I hang out every day. He gets his 3 walks per day. I get my 3 meal per day … Continue reading
Thanksgiving for one
That sounds sadder than it was. It was a very quiet day – just Rusty and me – but I rather enjoyed the solitude. I finished the jigsaw puzzle I was working on, watched some football and a couple of movies, read a bit then cooked myself a nice dinner: pork roast, asparagus, mashed potatoes … Continue reading
Completely re-tired
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Too damn clever for my own good. After getting 3 new tires for the truck last week, I got one new tire and one tire repaired today on the RV. The repaired tire was the one that took a nail on the trip south a few weeks ago (seems like years). Between … Continue reading
Life without Jett
It has now been a month since Jett slipped the mortal coil. My life without her is coming into focus. Some of the changes are obvious but others are more subtle and surprising. First, the obvious. I miss her. Every day. I don’t miss being the 24/7 caregiver that I became in her final months, … Continue reading
COVID in the park
Last spring, as the “season” was winding down and COVID was ramping up, there seemed to be an air of invincibility in the resort. Lots of going-away parties, nary a mask in sight and no social distancing. It seemed to me that people were taking a lot of risks, but they got away with it … Continue reading
T-Mobile vs Verizon
I switched our cell phone service from Verizon to T-Mobile a couple of weeks ago. This was a big move because we have been loyal Verizon customers from the day we first got our cell phones many years ago. Verizon was the obvious choice for a wireless carrier when we first went “on the road” … Continue reading
Turbo work
So that turbocharger problem… remember? The leaks in the uppipes to/from the turbocharger that were spewing hot gases and causing those weird email messages to me during the trip north? We got to MA successfully, but not without some angst. As soon as we arrived I started plotting the fix. The plan was to replace … Continue reading
Isaias
Due to the pandemic I haven’t been doing much. Jett also hasn’t been doing much, either, but in her case it is more due to a real disease than a potential disease. The result is that I haven’t had much to report that wouldn’t fall squarely into the “really, truly boring” category. We did, however, … Continue reading
Being tidy or being disloyal?
Maybe both? The question arises because I have been going through the stuff that I brought south from our storage unit in Massachusetts. It turns out that much of what has been stored up there for years is memorabilia – items saved from our many trips in the RV and our cruises. Jett was much … Continue reading »
