Heads up young fella. Most of the comments I have seen revolve around equipment. Generally I agree that towing vehicle size and capacity are a major consideration. (larger, heavier tow vehicle a must) (Including tires and inflation) As well as loading. A passenger car or pickup meant for light...

been thinkin but it hurts my brain Had to stop. I am located no where off a dirt road sitting in my underwear. No one around. pity too because I'm a sight to behold. Just made the best pot of coffee ever. I should go into business. People in Kansas did speak English (sort of). "Move along" was...

Been thinkin (Some more) Several have commented, and I appreciate the time and thought required. At the end of thought and discussion, I alone must decide what action to take or not take. Either way there will be no do over. There are many facts that I must take into consideration, and...

You asked about my travels since I left my "house". That's the correct term. No longer a home, just a house, "sticks and bricks". I've been traveling in a wider and wider circle around my starting point. A bit shy about going further so that if it didn't work for me I could go back. Not...

Got into a chattaroo with a trucker-- young guy, couldn't find his butt with both hands with a map AND gps... Had a low "tar" (tyre)(tire). Anyhow, got out my hose, gen and compressor and amazed him that old farts know stuff and could also move a little. Anyhoo, decided to travel some back roads...

Now that's the reply/comment that has value. Situations change rapidly, too much for me to handle at times. for example, had yearly physical a few days ago, Doctor called me about results a few minutes ago says. Blood work says I've got a big problem to deal with and decide what action to take...

Been thinking (again) Time has passed. This trailer is working fine. Had a few repairs but no big deal. Still sleeping alone and getting used to it although I have turned up the heat a little and I now have two pillows, one for my head and one to snuggle against. Not perfect but cheap. Ok, I...

Hi Cherish: I'm an old guy and I mean really really old. I'm a single Dad and empty everything now too. Just know this; there are huge numbers of good people that would love to share with you. The only time I'm alone is when I want to be, which these days is most of the time. But like many...

Yup: I'm in the USA. There are stores with stuff everywhere. Travel with those minimum things you use daily. or at most weekly. Don't over think. That alone with drive you nuts. thrift stores will save you moola and who cares if your sox match. Ken

One error - married 62 years. My age now is 84 years. I am healthy and very active for my age. still able to stand up straight and walk and run. My wife and I had many practical conversations early on b4 we got married. One involves the fact that men are always on the hunt. It's nature. It's...

Of course the numbers do match up over thousands of years. Yup - BUT there are exceptions. There are animals who mate for life. Few, but they do exist. Here is another fact that can not be over looked. Woman get big bellies and waddle like ducks near the end of their pregnant period, unable to...

Got a shrink - I do guy stuff. No one knows me better than myself and I don't go round in public with tears running down my face. Firstly, I do "get out" -- not pickup joints such as bars and dance places. I'm more coffee shops and Cracker Barrel type places. Even grocery stores and park...

I just had to make a comment. Married once. 62 years. I've out lived my allotted time and still going. I was a one woman man, not blind. My wife had a stroke and died two years ago. I live in a 19 foot trailer at this time on my own property with a 6 bed room house that I can't bring myself to...

Right, write, well anyway. Still kickin' not too high though. Here's the deal. After considerable thought and some planning, I decided that I need to keep what I've earned and paid for. I have a house and small piece of land that I wish to leave to my son when my end comes rather than just let...

Thinkin' again: I'm thinking again right now, I'll probably think some more tomorrow. BUT here is the point which I will have to explain. My pickup, which I will use to tow my home on wheels needs to patching up, Michigan uses salt on the roads in winter which wreaks havoc on fenders and such...

Thank you for your advise and input and reply. The last piece that I thought I needed arrived yesterday and tested last night. The rest will be information and experience passed on to me. (such as your relay of Walmart parking for shopping by another) Thanks for taking the time. Ken

Like you said life IS not worth living without my anchor. Over 60 years and then -- anyway. It's been a little over 2 years now by myself. I know all the words-- words can not describe how empty life is now. You both look healthy and how I envy you. Cherish every moment. Priceless! Ken

I gotta close this out. I was an engineer in the military- 6 years 6 months and 23 days. Was distilling water for the grunts with my buddy, two trucks and some tanks for fuel and water storage - used for cooking, drinking and showers They bugged out and left me and Tommy to pack up our stuff. I...
