    Trailer towing gone sadly wrong

    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...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    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...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    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...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    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...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    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...

    Seriously, so you want to be in love again...

    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...

    Seriously, so you want to be in love again...

    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...

    Seriously, so you want to be in love again...

    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...

    How did you end up on the road, and why are you still here?

    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...

    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
