  • Ready to Hit the Road Again

    I got the controller wired in today. Mounted the new showerhead. Fixed the closet door with 3 inch screws. Validated that the kitchen sink is not going to fall through. Fixed a vent duct that I did not know was broke. And I validated that Iā€™m not reducing the noise on the pump before we…

  • New Battery Wired In

    I’ve got the new battery wired in and I have run the wires that I’ll need to patch in the solar charge controller. Why do I need that? Good question, from my understanding, the current/voltage coming in from the solar panel is kind of all over the place and the controller sets things right to…

  • New Battery & Box Mounted

    I have a slight issue with the positive cable but for all intents and purposes, the battery and box have been mounted and are ready to roll. Will wire in the solar controller and finish up the wiring tomorrow so we’re ready to roll on the next camping adventure on Saturday.

  • Webwork, Certifications and Job Hunting

    So the new year is here and it’s time to start looking for a new job but that may take a bit so I need to keep moving forward so I’m working on the website and photo galleries and I’m going to take an actual class on Linux to work towards my Red Hat certification,…

  • Happy New Year!!!

    Sandy and I actually made it up to see the old year out and the new year in. We made our annual journey to Razoo’s and took our picture at the tree in Sundance Square. Went and saw the parents and made it home by sunset. Spent the first day of the year relaxing and…

  • Amazon Prime – Paused

    While Amazon is my first go to for finding stuff, I usually then find it cheaper elsewhere. I can’t find anything other than TNF on Prime TV and even Amazon said over the last 12 months I’ve saved $68 being a Prime member. So it was hard to swallow paying $139 for another year of…

  • Solar Plunge

    One of the things that we learned on our last trip in the RV is that we are woefully unprepared for boondocking with the main issue being that the battery wouldn’t hold us overnight. Also, I’ve got the wrong battery type, I needed to have one that doesn’t start a car with a high voltage/short…

  • Movie – Private Benjamin (1980)

    I did enjoy this movie when I was a kid and we’ve had it on Plex forever and I wanted to get Sandy’s take on it. It’s still an amusing little show and it is empowering for women but it does kind of leave you hanging in the end and doesn’t really come to a…

  • RV has New Shoes

    Because of the flat we had on the way back from the Grand Canyon, the RV needed new shoes. This is my first time buying tires for a trailer and they’re evidently a lot different than car tires in that they don’t drive. I got them from Walmart, here is the invoice. I had them…

  • Long Time No See

    So apologies for the delay in the current content. I’m still struggling with managing content that was developed in the last expedition. And honestly, there’s been a bit of a lag getting back on the computers. It will correct itself in time. More soon.
