I have not been on this forum in quite a while. I have dropped in from time to time to get a quick snapshot of what is going on but have not posted in a long time. Over the past couple of years I have received a number of PMs from a few members checking on me and I do appreciate their concerns...

We have been on a trip in our motorhome and our forward progress from St George, UT to Newport, OR has been full of unscheuled stops and delays due to one thing after another. Here is a short list of whay has been keeping me occupied over the past 2 weeks. *Installed a SeeLevel tank...

The house sold in 28 days. We plan on moving out the first week in June. We are amazed at how fast it sold, as are the other neighbors who have had their homes on the market for many months. Part is luck...the right buyer at the right place at the right time. Part is preparation...we did A...

We dropped 34 degrees in a few hours today. It was almost 80 yesterday...today it snowed. Anybody East of here better watch out! This kind of weather breeds some nasty weather when it gets over the Rockies. You guys in Tornado Alley better hunker down.

Inspired by another thread. How many square feet is your primary apt, condo, house, etc.? So folks seem to be able to live well in a small amount of space and others need more "elbow room" to be happy. We have rather large home. That is like saying an elephant is a rather large mamal...

Where do your RVers like to go? Where is your favorite spot? Where would your like to go that you have not seen yet? We are still pretty new to the RV life but are catching on fast. We have traveled about 4000 miles so far and have been in a number of RV parks and even parked in front of...

We are RVing...sort of, in front of my wife's sister's house near Fresno, CA as we prepare for the pending birthday party for their father's 80th birthday on Saturday. We have been here since Saturday and have only AC power from the house to keep the AC going to keep us from dying of heat...

WoW. A lot can happen in a month. I retired May 18 and our intended first RV voyage had to be cancelled due to mechanical and other issues with our RV. We sent it back to the factory for repairs. They took a month to go over the rig and then sent it back to us...a week too late for our...

I am sitting in my lawn chair at a very nice RV park in central Utah. We got here about 3 pm and after setting up we went for a swim in the pool and then came back to the campsite for some adult beverages and some together time. There are lots of birds flitting about and singing their songs...

My wife gave me a Retirement clock at the surprise party she threw for me last Saturday. The clock has only the days of the week with a small spot on each day for Noon. I have it hanging in the basement office. Comes in handy when I forget what day it is. My watch has not been worn since...

Here I am...standing on the crumbling edge of a 33 year career and watching expectantly as the escalator up to my retirement life slowly moves into place to catch me at the last second before I fall off the edge into the abyss of corporate madness. The desk has been cleaned out...the files...

My ER date is now set for May 18. Management is spinning around trying to come up with a way to cover both of the job I have been doing since December which we be vacant when I leave (my regular job and my boss's job I have been doing on an interim basis). I believe they will offer me a part...

The 18 year old GE side by side is showing her age. I have been checking Cons. Reports etc. but how about some "real world" experience. I am leaning towards Kenmore or Whirlpool but GE is also a possiblility (CFB where are U?) Any suggestions from you personal experience? BTW, we want a side...

My rig...my exact rig..is the one featured in the Feb. FMC Magazine. This is the FMCA magazine for those not familiar with it. It is sort of weird to see our coach in the article. They got most of the facts right but some of the sizes and other details were off on the TV size and some other...

Two event are in the way of my final ER. 1. Sell our mountain cabin. 2. Work two director level jobs (mine and my boss's) while they find my new boss. After several months with no activity on the cabin....we have two offers on the same day. One is an obvious low ball (fishing trip by the...

For most of us in the US of A, Monday is a holiday.....the second one of the year where I work (New Years Day being the first one). Anybody have big plans for the long weekend? You retired folks will have to deal with the extra traffic and crowds on Monday. We are taking off on Friday to have...

My youngest son called last night and said he was in an accident. He was struck head on by a driver making an illegal U turn who then lost control of his car on the slick snow-covered road and hit my sons car. After the initial impact his car was diverted into a building where he hit a natural...

Mom finally has a solid offer on her house and it appears she will net about $150,000 after closing. I need to find a nice safe place to stash the cash until she needs it for her Assisted Living expences. Here is the skinny on what I am trying to do with these funds. 1. She is very very risk...

I just got my usual Head Hunter call of the week today.  It seems these guys have my resume from a couple of years ago and keep dredging it up for cold calls either looking to fill a position or knowing if I can suggest an other sucker some one else who might be looking for a new career path...
