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

    Ah-ha. more or less - Me too. As so many times before I keep thinkin' That's a bad thing. I've got the pickup backed up to my camper, ready to hookup and go. Got so many questions with no answers from anyone who has done it, because to ask is not allowed. Certainly no opinion allowed. I am...

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

    It's me again. Ya, I'm still kicking, well shuffling. Recently discovered (dawned on me) that writing about anything on this forum of any meaning does not go over well, or is not allowed at all. So inane is the order of the day. So ------ there are leaves on the trees where I am now. Are there...

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

    Another day shot; Well almost. Got a small shipment from Amazon today, something for my son's boat. If you want to call it that, I "cooked" something, some eggs in a frying pan and some more burnt toast. Some Orange juice. Moved some more of my stuff into the smaller trailer. Still puttering...

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

    I just looked at my pill bottles, Looks like they want to suck some blood out of me In late September/ early October. I'll have to call. Will probably be somewhere in Texas or New Mexico, maybe Arizona by then. I'm not liking the cold weather like I used to. I just saw a post on "Cheap RV...

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

    Thank you! The knot came back in my throat. The tightness in my stomach and I have to swallow. My eyes have tears again but men don't cry. I have her hair brush and her smell is still there. The way things are going, slowly, finding excuses to just sit here are an --- excuse---. Linda would not...

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

    Hummm---- I've thought until my head hurts about the same things. Boondocking is my way of living, so 110 volt fridge even with solar and batteries just won' t work - now gas might be ok. (note I said might). Smaller group of cells and smaller group of batteries. Still thinking in spurts.

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

    Ha-- pets, too many. In my case It's just one, a cat. This cat was Linda's pet more than mine. But now the cat has to be cared for. In any case, the cat has to be let out to do cat stuff, hunting for mice and birds and what ever cats do, and of course the cat needs to be petted on my lap, doing...

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

    Oh- crap! I've turned into an old man. Sink is full of dirty dishes, My shirt has a torn sleeve, cuff buttons are missing, sox don't mate with a hole in one toe. There is a fly in here and I have a fly swatter in my hand. I'm not going to chase it, I'm going to wait for it to come to me, talk...

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

    I've not given up on the built in fridge/freezer yet. One thing that I must note is that my son lives on a boat here on the Great Lakes and uses a small 110 volt fridge with one 100 watt panel with a small back up Generator feeding 3 marine batteries with an inverter. Panel with controller cost...

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

    Well at least you have family - I'm the last of the tribe, well my son is the last and he has not given me any grand children and at 55 years old, that's not going to happen. So, my time is short, no use in blathering about it. I do want to leave some tracks in the dirt somewhere though even if...

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

    Good thoughts which seem to be fitting mine, little by little. Here are some of my rambling thoughts. Solar panels, one at a time plus one or two more batteries for a total of three would give me enough power to run a 12 volt only fridge? Or an inverter to run a 110 volt fridge at a much lower...

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

    Thanks so much for the heads up. My thoughts after reading a few comments from others has been that the type of fridge that I have needs to be replaced or at least the cooling parts. I do have a smaller fridge that works on 110 volts or 12 volts that uses a compressor, that just keeps chugging...

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

    For me, I am just a collection of chemicals and water, maybe a little beer. After looking around me and examining "health care" and knowing that no mater what, my life is going to end! That is true for everyone and every living thing. My choice is to go at the life remaining at high speed and...

I don't know how the girls do it...

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

    Ya know, that's an idea. Once I saw a bird, Not sure what kind, Put his wings down to the ground, puffed all up and stomped his feet made dust in the driveway, Mom said that was his way of attracting other birds. Of course now I know it was girl birds he was trying to attract. Your right of...

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

    Well here I am again. Crawling around on the ground outside under my trailer looking for a broken wire. Of course I do this squirming along slowly, got knots on my head and seem to be leaking a little from scratches. (hat fell off) The power board from my fridge was not the problem, so now I...

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

    Too much to fill my days this week. My son's call is KA8POG. He is on his boat right now alone as I am. Got some more fixing to do yet. Waiting for Amazon to show up with needed stuff. lots to learn about this nomad thing. With fuel prices going so high it's going to take longer to get anywhere...

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

    These things I write down are like what's inside of me. The tid bits of my life can not tell anyone how it really was from my earliest memories. Like world war two life as a kid but with memories like snap shots here and there and trying to tell how sad everyone was when some one came home all...
