Most purchased products come with some sort of warranty, and usually somewhere in those warranties is the caveat, “Damages caused by fair wear and tear shall not be covered…” Which brings me to last nights dumping of the gray water. I hooked the Rhino onto Sid’s ball hitch and towed it 100 yards to the…
Camping in an RV park without full sewer hookup is bound to happen sooner or later. In our case it happened much sooner than expected, as in the second park at which we’ve ever stayed. As luck or fate would have it, while Arthur was having the tank heater blankets installed by the professionals at…
Notice the long gap in posting? We have a list of excuses the topmost being needing a class in Blogging for Dummies. That includes confirming the site name. Identifying correct login info. How to post a video. How to most productively scream at each other when we don’t get it. Thankfully we have our site…
Actually, flexibility is the key to air power, but that was long ago when I worked for a living. The thermostatically-controlled heat blankets for our various water tanks arrived yesterday as promised by Amazon. We have the capability to install them ourselves; however, if we make a mistake and break something, this will void our…

Certainly not as low as the 2F reported by son Chad in Johnston, IA or the 3F experienced by brother Larry in Byron, IL but cold enough to create trouble. We discovered our water pressure reducer was the primary…
Our stay at Navy Mid-South RV Park was planned for two days before heading north to Illinois and Iowa. That was before 70% of the US experienced record cold temperatures. We’ve now been here for a week. Our water froze, so we installed a fresh water hose with integrated heat tape, purchased 125 feet of…
Sometimes you just get an itch. The first itch took us to Alcoa, TN to visit Chilhowee (chill HOW ee) RV. We stopped in to see the Airstreams they had vs the ones we had seen at various RV shows and at a dealership in the DFW area. We were certain if we got one,…
Bunner’s moniker, The Pool Man (TPM), had a simple, unsophisticated beginning. He provided basic daily pool maintenance on the 68,000-gallon swimming pool at the Pisgah View Ranch for three years. Susan’s moniker, Ms Fix It (MFI), who also ran The Gift Stall, bought Bunner various colored tank tops as his official uniform and had “Pool…
It’s not possible to predict how to find luck, how to know luck, how to be lucky. It’s one of those things that just IS. Thank Goodness. And how do you trace it all back to where it started? A series of never-ending flashbacks. Maybe ours started in August 2012 when TPM (Randy) broke his…
