I’m a breast guy

Chicken breast that is… Normally I am pleased when I see chicken breast for $1.99 per pound, but at the Safeway in Wilcox, Arizona I stumbled upon a dream catch; $0.99 per pound.  I took a double take on the price, but it eventually sunk in so I bought –...

Roper Lake State Park

Moose and I conferred and decided to splurge by staying at Roper Lake State Park. It is only $15 for non-electric ($25 with) and we needed a change. The Park allowed me to cut my hair and shower. Moose got to go on three doggy-walks in one afternoon (he is...

Sexy pants, commando style

I’ve come to a crossroads. I am both out of clean underwear and everyday-pants. I could go back to the old cargo pants from years past, but I don’t think I could handle all that amount of dangling freedom unrestrained. So, I am forced to wear my sexy-pants, commando style....

Pasta Salad and Penny Poker

Brian and Leigh (Aluminarium) have been such great RV-neighbors. Once again they invited me over for dinner (Lemon Dill Pasta Salad) where the asked me a few questions about myself. We then got into a heated game of Penny Poker where cards were in my favor. I wish I was...

Van Essential: Solar Shower

I admit, I was not expecting much from a black pvc bag of water, but it has surprised me, in a good way. It did take three attempts before I figured out what I need to do to make this solar shower work. The first attempt resulted in a lukewarm...

Mexico dental – take 1

On Thursday I crossed into Mexico to have a tooth extracted before it turned into a much larger ordeal (I’ve been there before, and it isn’t pretty). Crossing the border at Naco, AZ was simple enough. In fact, I’ve stated since that it may be easier to cross the border...

When Internet goes bad

Getting cleaned up and ready to haul out I sat on my bed only to be met with minor resistance. I happened to be the power cord for my Verizon MiFi Hotspot which when stretched to it’s limit tore the cord out of the Hotspot. Sounds simple enough, but combined...
