I was opposite. My first year in the military I was a shadow learning from a guy about to retire. It was mostly what he liked to talk about so I learned and became proficient in the subject. When he left I felt like I got left behind. I started buying multi family rentals I could maintain. I was...

Welcome back We’ve been rving on the road retired for 22 years. Congratulations on finding a place and partner. I’m always wondering if I’ll see a place we’d want to live just over the next hill. Will try a summer in Alaska next.

Our current neighbor in an rv park is following around military kid and grandkids in their motorhome. When we’re not able to live independently we’ll pull up into the circle drive of a minimum care facility in the Moho, get out with a few things, and throw the parking attendant the keys.

Wife’s friend we were going to spend 3 months with near London just told us she has covid. We’re all vaccinated except her 2 small children. May throw a wrench in our plans for spring. Wife’s cousin died last month after Covid with diabetes. She was vaccinated and a teacher.

We sold our big house in a glitzy area and have been living in our motorhome since 2000. After traveling around North America and spending a few years in Europe I can’t imagine having such a big house or any of the huge wood furniture we owned before. The value of an rv after 20 years is about...

Seems like everything on the motorhome we live in broke in September. This month I replaced the solar panels and controller, replaced microwave oven, and replaced whole house vent fan. Still need to fix the mirror that is a door covering the stacked washer and dryer, and outdoor awning spring...

The microwave oven Best Buy promised me three days ago isn’t here yet and the wifes new iPad cover got lost completely by amazon. Northern ARizona wind and sun in flagstaff jacked up the prices on all the new solar system components I called about the day before. The prices on their website...

We’ve been living in a big motorhome for about 21 years now following the weather. We usually camp without hookups on public or private lands 9 months out of the year using around 500 gallons of water, 20 gallons of propane, and 30 gallons of generator gasoline a month. We dump the tanks every...

With that attitude, the girlfriend may need to be replaced instead of the vehicle.

I had the same problem in my shed. Lots of mosquitoes and black widows. I tried everything then did a bug bomb. It solved the problem immediately and I didn’t notice any lingering smells.

If you’re going to fill your time with a part time job then why bother leaving. Traveling will be a great education for your child. Maybe you can find sports or social events in foreign countries. That could lead to lifelong friendships. Retiring at 34 I gave up most of my high earning years...

You could say your nervous about running out of time.

I’ve seen this on rentals the last few years. I was renting a car in Cali that had enough miles that the tires were pretty worn. I asked for a car with better tires since I was responsible for their performance.

We got evacuated from flagstaff Az on 22june because of forest fires. All the forests are closed because it’s so dry. The pine needles all snap when walking around. We moved RV to Vegas park. 112 outside now. When I was a kid there was big wind and rain every afternoon for about 6 weeks. Now...

The problem with southern AZ is unless you go to Mexico every trip you go on is a trip to Phoenix first. Decent lakes, Snow skiing, and ocean are past Phoenix. The mountains west of Sierra Vista have oaks and some nice cactus but to get to town you have to drive through the base. With the...
