Time Marches On

We are now in the perhaps a bit unique position of owning two motorhomes.  We alrady had one, and knowing we were going to upgrade before going full time, I’ve been watching a lot of “for sale” situations on diesel pushers (DP for short). I found a really good deal on one and decided to

RV Upgrade

We have planned all along to upgrade our RV as the time to go full time got closer.  I’ve developed a habit of watching RV Trader for what seem to be really good deals.  So far, I’ve looked at three.  The first two were “too good to be true” – great price, great descriptions, even

New Drivers License

Texas requires a different license if an RV weighs 26,001 lbs or more.  It’s a class B license if anything you tow is 10,000 lbs. or less.  Class A if the tow is > 10,000 lbs.  The only thing we plan on towing is a car, so it will be well under the weight limit.

Who We Are

This is a blog of our journey from preparing to retire and go full time RVing to wherever that journey takes us.  Specifics aren’t too important, but some general details might be helpful.  My wife spent all of her working life in various people support activities:  Campfire, Juvenile Court, Child Care, Easter Seals. She is

Progress, Yes or No?

It’s been a busy while and I haven’t posted anything recently.  The estate sale went well.  A lot of stuff was sold, and most of the residue carted off to either a donation center, or the local land fill.  But, there are still a zillion little bits and pieces to be dealt with.  Not to

Are we There Yet?

I’m the one asking that today, not my (grown) kids. But it’s not about a physical destination – we’re already home. But we are deep into the down sizing process.  We’ve moved a seeming mountain of boxes to storage, and took the dining room set over yesterday.  We aren’t keeping it, but our youngest wants

Am I Crazy?

THAT is the question for the day!  We’re now just about a month away from doing an estate sale, and only two weeks away from having to turn the house over to the estate sale company to get it set up for the sale.  I think we’re running out of time, and certainly energy, to

Why This Web Site

Actually, the reasoning is not totally clear.  Probably at least in part because I can, in part as a kind of journal about our planned journey for the next few years, and partly ego.  So, dear reader (in the future perhaps referred to as “DR”), take everything in here with a large grain of salt,

Here We Go

After much discussion, and more than a little trepidation, we’ve decided to move from a traditional “sticks and stones” home to going full time in an RV.  Associated with this, is the decision that I will be joining my wife in retirement sometime in the next year or so and we think traveling the country
