We drove to Hollywood, FL while Arthur stayed at the Hidden Valley Tiny Home and RV Park in Wylie, TX. This allowed us to be at Sammy’s third birthday party, celebrate Thanksgiving with the growing Gomez family, and take on their substantial project list. Here is a picture of the T-day table setting with turkey…
MFI and I were members of two fitness centers before we began our SidArthur Airstreaming adventure. While living in Arlington, TX, we worked out at the local Elzie Odom Recreation Center. The center provided two great rooms for either free-weight lifting or using an array of machines, and they had a 3-lane indoor track above…
(Updated as of 8 October 2020) Airstream was all about design from its very beginning. Design in terms of shapes, colors, textures, materials, and function. We thought about these design elements before purchasing Arthur, and now that we are full-timers, our thoughts have deepened and broadened. This is a blog then about design elements depicted…
MFI and I were headed back to Texas because son Jon had asked for our help. For the past five months, he and Katherine had been working from home and caring for Logan, their two year old (almost). This meant neither could work full time while Logan was up and active. Help was needed in…
MFI and I enclosed a 2-sided postcard in our 2019 Christmas card to family and friends. The purposes were to inform recipients of our next plan for retirement, and solicit projects with which we could help them during our visits. We received a fair number of cards indicating “no help required” but open to a…
MFI and I planned on spending summer and fall 2020 ASing north along the Atlantic coast ending in Maine, but that was all pre-pandemic. We instead decided it would be best to err on the side of caution and limit our travels before returning early to our home base in the DFW area. The modified…
The Gomez family of Hollywood, FL (population 153,067) have had a growing list of projects for some time; however, our return for the birth of Happy Charlie Gomez, was the next opportunity for us to help work on it. We took our normal three days to get there from Arlington, and as described in ASing…
One of the critical and final steps for implementing our plan to live for two years in Arthur required we renovate the condo so it could be rented. The renovation included redesign and upgrade of the two bathrooms, redesign and upgrade of the two bedroom closets, electrical improvements for all the new lighting, new carpeting,…
Ms Fix It and I returned to the road as of Monday, 20 July 2020. This was certainly later than planned, but much has happened since our last blog in March. Here’s a quick update. The condo renovation was completed later than expected, but not before Ms Fix It fired the general contractor, and we…
If you’ve been following our blog, then you will have noticed we’ve not posted anything since the end of January 2020. The reason is simple: we are having the outdated and poorly designed master and guest bathrooms in our condo renovated. Once completed (expected by mid-April) we will rent the condo so we have sufficient…
