Gentlemen, For the past year I was Earlene's caregiver. She was weak and barely able to walk using a walker. As a caregiver I was not just attending to her needs but doing all that a woman/wife does around the house. Ask you beloved to set on a couch and not do anything but to direct you on what needs to be done, and do it for a week. Don't forget to do all that you need to do and in many instances go to work while doing those things. For the second week do it all over again but this time put a 9 pound wiggly baby on your hip. Get up from your computer and go give her a hug! She deserves it.

I'm not sure if I posted this. On October 28, 2024, my dear wife of 63 years, Earlene, went to Our Lord. One year ago she came down with Leukemia (AML). Several other episodes during the year also happened including a broken hip. Her immune system was compromised and after surgery she did not come out of it. She will be missed, and by many.

Wait for it. Those states will ban vehicles that don't meet their "regulation" from coming into the state. Talk about an RV industry biting the dust, think all that apply to RV'ing.

Thanks Mike. Just remember that there is an alternative to grow old and I don’t think any of us like it. We have never regretted purchasing our RV’s. We’ve camped since 1974 starting in a small pop up camper van. Being in the Marine Corp we had a few hiatuses along the way.I retired for the second time in 2007. Bought a 5th wheel and 1 year later a MH. The song, “I’ve been everywhere,” fits us. i’m 83 years young so you and Cindy have a lot of years ahead of you. Go for the newer RV and enjoy it as much as you can for as long as you can.

It is with much sadness that we are now motorhomless. WithEarlene not being able to travel this was the best decision. It has been fun. When my subscription runs out I will not be posting. Thank you for putting up with me.

I had a Lincoln Mark 8. The faster you would go the lower to the ground it would get. One day I tested it on the flats and at 120 it would go into passing gear. I got rid of it before I did something real stupid all the time. Well, you know my wife's condition so if she wants to go anywhere it had to be in her car so she gave me permission to get gas and go to the grocery store by myself..

It became part of the passenger floor board. Well most of it anyway. So, a week or so later Earlene asked me to go get some moer Pho. As I'm walking out the door she says, "Don't spill it this time, and don't hit anything with my car!" I was driving her precious 2004 Lincoln Towncar. What did you expect her to say?

Don't tell my kids that. They always say I'm spending their inheritance. What the don't know is that there isn't much inheritance!

Totaled my 2020 LIncoln Nautilus Aug 27th. Was doing 30 miles an hour in a 30 mph zone. I had some soup on the front seat and it was looking perilously about ready to top over. I reached oveer to straighten it out. (You go where you are looking) and veered slightly to the right. My right front headlight he the left tail light of a parked car. Sent me up on 2 wheels, brought it back down and parked it about 20 yeards away on the opposite side. No one hurt. totaled the other car also. I opted for deferred adjudication so I'm on my best behavior when in town and for 6 months. New Nautilus in drive-wayl. No one hurt.

I don't know what system of control you have but if it is a programable thermostat it may be set to turn off when the inputed parameters are met.

Well, I keep getting notifications for heat advisories. Alexa, iPhone, TV, all reporting heat advisories for our area. Now this is South East Texas, why don't they just say one time, "Heat adversories until Novemeber!"

I was a 250 plus or minus 30-50. The shorter the better. DW usually planned the routes with alternating 2 day the 1 day and 250 one leg then 200 the next leg. The 2/1 was not in concrete so varied.
