Wind Beaten

Holy wind! The drive north through Oklahoma and Kansas, right through Iowa and to Illinois kicked our butts gas mileage wise. Not only has the price of diesel skyrocketed, the winds continuously throttled our trailer, crosswind for ¾ of the journey. Compared to our average fuel mileage towing of 18 mpg, we averaged 15 mpg…

Sitflying in Skydive Dallas

Sitflying in Skydive Dallas

What a gorgeous calm sunny day at Skydive Dallas! Only a hint of wind flip-flopped the windsock on the massive green fields of emptiness. Before darting northbound to Illinois, slaDE and I managed to make 2 skydives before continuing onwards with our trek. Fabulous and frivolous sit jumps that had me giddy with excitement at…

This season, Jamie is focusing on the LA school system. And it appears that he’s up for a HUGE fight. And a challenge. For example, the amount of…

Fridge Trials

Fridge Trials

We picked up our new fridge from PPL Motorhomes … a beautiful new Dometic RM2820. By purchasing the fridge through a local dealer, avoiding the shipping costs by picking it up with our Dodge truck, and with slaDE installing it himself, we saved over $800! That’s quite the savings on such an important and expensive…
