I also have tow service from my insurance provider. I once had to have them tow my motorhome 85 miles off of loveland pass in Colorado. My motorhome? A converted 1975 Greyhond bus. I wont be without towing service!!!

If anyone wants to go back to a first gen, call me. 503-812-1440

You mentioned Jiffy peanut butter but showed Skippy. Would it be any different? How about Nutella? Chunky? Apply with bread? Peanut allergies?

My wife named my 1988 vr. I don't use the name very much, theres usually too many people around. Some folks don't like to hear @#$%^&*() in public.

Retirement is probably the best job I have ever held.

I just want it to be over!!!

What are you doing wasting water on laundry? California is in the middle of a drought you know. Of course having lived in the fools gold state most of my life, I do not remember a year when they were not in a drought. Just an excuse to raise the price of water.

Excellent questions! Does anyone have any answers?

That is how we determine how to get into places. Since we drive an old converted Greyhound bus with the 1st gen on the rear bumper and towing a Grand Cherokee there are some turns we are told to make that are simply impossible. It also gives us an idea of what we are looking for. Fun pasttime as well.

what he said. Above me. However, if you enjoy cleaning do it muff IN.

As a navy vet, you have my respect. I got out in 64 and was even spit on once, been called baby killer and worse. It is my own opinion that every 18 year old should serve 2 years for their country. Military, park service, i don't care which one. Ladies, you should serve as well. Just my small vent.

Whatever you do, do not buy the first rig you see and do not sell everything you own and take off to see if you will like the life style. Rent several types of rv's first to see which type really serves your needs. Then when you decide what you want, decide how big you want to go. Then add 2 or 3 feet to the biggest rig you think you need. I have not met any rv owner who didn't go bigger within a very short period of time. We went from a 28 foot class a to a 40 foot class a and have no regrets. We also carry the VR on an electric lift and tow our Jeep. Well, thats my 2 cents.

I was up at 4:30 am to go to work. Cup of coffee in one hand, cigarette in the other. Why am i working to earn the money to buy cigarettes just to watch them burn up? I put it out and have not had one since. Now i walk by someone who is a heavy smoker and cannot believe how bad they stink. Suppose I did too. That was in 1984.

Since we have been given two options for winterizing, Arizona or Florida, we only have to examine one thing. Arizona has no overabundance of bugs. Every obnoxious bug ever discovered was discovered in Florida. I rest my case.

Mud makes me think of the day I got my Honda cb160 brand new. In the day there was a motorcycle hill just off hwy 39 in La Mirada in Southern California. All the bad bikers would do hill climbs and it was a lot of fun. I in my wisdom went way back in the hills to try my stuff. I found a few guys jumping the berm on the side of the dirt road and I figured I could do that. Not wanting to interfere with their fun, I went down the road a ways where the berm was a little higher. I went off the road a little ways and turned around to start my roll. Going about 20 to 25 mph I hit the berm and went airborne. Alas, I had neglected to check the other side of the berm.As I got my air time all I could see was water. It was only about 2 inches deep but the mud under it was like fine grease. My brand new cb 160 went every which way. No injuries, no damage. When i got it out I rode straight home. That was the last of my hill climbs.

The Cabelas in Sydney, Nebraska even has a campground right next door. You can shop for days!

Was that an apology or a BRAG?

The wife and I contracted with a gentleman in Oregon to fly up there and drive his bus back to Laughlin, Nevada for a bus conversion convention. We missed our connecting flight in San Francisco, therefore we got to Eugene late. He had given up on us and gone home. We called the only motel that offered free shuttle service to and from the airport. They had a heated indoor pool so we were looking forward to a relaxing evening soaking in the pool before retiring. When we arrived there were at least, every young child for miles around in the pool. We gave up on the soak and decided to simply retire and call it a day. Just as we were dozing off, the headboard in the next room started hitting the wall. We figured give them a few minutes and that will be done. Alas that was not to be. His stamina was astounding. The pounding lasted most of the night. In the morning we stationed ourselves in the dining room to give us a look at whoever came out of that room.We never did see them.

71 and still riding. I am however thinking of downsizing.

I do not know what all the fuss is over PIZZA. Its just an excuse to eat with your fingers!!! Given my choice, i will take a good beef stew with big fluffy dumplings every time. And I can use a knife and fork.

Did you look for any hidden "barn finds " while you were there?

I see no problem. If getting a bike for your wife now would make her happy, there is no choice. Take shorter trips.

I do know, some people will believe anything. Even the old saying , "your vote counts".

if you all get out west some time , try Lake Powell in Utah. 175 miles long with numerous inlets to explore. A beautiful place. Take a chart of the lake or you will get lost. Fuel stops are about 50 miles apart. Camp pretty much anywhere you can pull up to. I is a great place.

The 88s are the best , especially if they are white. Like mine. the only problem is carrying it on the rear of our motorhome it gets really cruddy looking. Motorhome is powered by a detroit diesel 2 stroke so it throws a lot of oil. As far as being fast, it can scare me, easily. Have fun with it.
