Is honesty the best policy?




Wednesday was spent close to home.  We got our 10,000 steps in the park, mainly walking around our lot.  I cleaned all the upholstery in the rig.  It was a long time coming.  It had started our gray and turned a bit tan.  It’s all Duncan and Maggie’s fault.  

Katy kicked butt on cleaning up the leaves, branches and acorns.  These southern oaks are beautiful, but what a mess.  I picked up a leaf blower from the office, those are fun.  The power washer wouldn’t work so I have to go back and get the other one when it gets back.  

Yesterday biked over and played Pickleball with the crew again.  There were only 4 of us so we played quite a few games.  I’m starting to get the hang of it at this point.  I still have a few racquetball habits to break.  Paddle control is not on point yet as I’m used to a racquet, but I’ll get there.  

After Pickleball we walked the dogs and then made a break for Costco and Petco.  That’s not going to be a regular trip.  It was 70 miles and 90 minutes with all the small towns to get through.  Costco had samples for the win, but was out of our favorite toilet paper.  All they had was the single ply “airport or public restroom” BS.  

When we got back, there was a really nice flag ceremony at the park.  There are quite a few veterans in the park including the manager who retired from the Army.  He put his uniform on and said a few words in front of the flagpole.  It was really nice and there was a great turnout.   

On a side note, we are finding that no one is responding to our emails or applications.  I have been up front with places that we will be leaving in mid April.  I’m not sure that is the best route to take when looking for employment.  The one shop I’ve been into twice is still looking for a “long term” employee.  Maybe we’ll get a call today?

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
