The past few months I have been hauling around this mountain bike inside the Compact Jr trailer behind the van. With the trailer being stored I was in need of a new way to transport the bike. I did have a hitch-mount rack for the rear, but I desperately need...
Recently I watched a documentary about how more than 1 Billion (yes, that is with a B) people in the world live on the equivalent of 1 US dollar per day, or less. These folks make life and death decisions based on a few dollars. The spare change in the...
I found a deal on Craig’s List… one I have been waiting for ever since I donated my last microwave (the one I bought for $8) two years ago. I can not use this thing unless I am plugged in at an RV park, as I no longer carry a...
I’ve been feeling pretty guilty that I’ve been taking the easy way out on my meals. A bowl of cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and sometimes more of the same for dinner. I have eaten out a lot this month too. Tonight I broke the cycle and prepared another...

Good ol’ Saturday Night racin’ at Colorado National Speedway! This was my first visit to CNS even though I have lived only a few miles from the track for the past 5 years. It is visible from the Interstate and each time I passed by I told myself, “this Saturday...
