Thinking about what my next build will be. Going to trade the trailer for a van.  I saw this on CL. What a sweet looking van. Nice size and some headroom, plus all those windows have little slider windows on top.  Hopefully I can find something like it when I'm ready to buy.  It's 10 grand...

I had a go at putting some photos and clips from the road into a video. I actually have hundreds of pics but just chose a few. Tons of goof-ups (Natchez TRACE - duh) but by the time I had spent hours trying to learn the program I was too lazy to redo it. Anyway here it is.

Just about anywhere you go in the country there is an incredible amount of ugly crap in the form of rusted out cars, old machinery, etc piled up in yards and empty lots - especially in the Southern states, west and east.  You can't force people to clean it up, because it's always in areas of...

I have a friend who I met when I had my leather shop - did some work for his vintage Indian motorcycle.  I knew he was a real nice guy - he always stopped by the shop unexpectedly with a bag of fresh ground coffee.  Never knew much about his story though.  Then when I was heading back East, he...

My six month exploratory period on the road is over. The results are mixed - there were times when it was the closest thing to Nirvana that I've experienced and times when I wondered if if I was out of my mind for doing it. Now I'm in Vermont staying with friends and charting my next course. I...

Made it down to Florida to help a friend from my teen years celebrate his house closing. NINETY SIX degrees. Jeez, Steve couldn't you have closed a month ago?

Sorry to be bear obsessed, but that's how I get about things.  Reading up on bears around here, I find that they're extremely rare in this area, though sightings have increased. Most of the bears in southern Alabama are Florida bears that have migrated, but bears in these parts have migrated...

I just ran into the blog of a guy I was camped next to a few months back.  I was there during some events that occurred and his report was nothing like what actually happened.  Made me chuckle. I guess it makes for boring reading if you're posting adventures from the road and the reality isn't...

I've been thinking of ways I could take my leather business on the road - primary target would be small motorcycle shows and swap meets. Where I'm stuck is - that I need to bring two of my big sewing machines to do what I have in mind.  One weights around 300lbs and the other about 150. Too...

The instructions on the Whynter say if using 110 , to use it only plugged directly into the wall and not use an extension cord. Why is that?

A few weeks back I posted about an Australian couple, traveling in a mini van, that I met in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas.  OK, fast forward and I'm camped in this super remote spot in the Talladega Forest in Alabama.  I mean this place is REMOTE - miles down a forest road.  Just me...

One thing I've noticed that is different about being out West or in the East is that when I was in Arizona and New Mexico there wasn't much notice payed to those of us living in alternative RVs (vans, etc) vs motor homes and manufactured travel trailers.  So many people are doing it out West. ...

I just saw another one of those videos of people supposedly helping homeless people while video taping it and getting millions of views on Youtube.  There are so many of them out there and they all get shared around and become viral.  This is the forth I've seen this week, shared on Facebook...

I have a month long job in Connecticut and was looking for camping spots. The State Parks website says all reservations are subject to cancellation without notice because of state budget issues.  The few private parks in the area I need to be are $30 a night, a bit less for the month, but all...

If this guy carries a knife

Boy, that Frontline sure works great. The only ticks I've seen on Todd are dead ones.  Me, on the other hand - I'm crawling with the bastards.  I'm Lyme disease just waiting to happen.

OK, I think I have a new winner for the most beautiful state I've been in.  Granted I've never been in the Northwest states - but been in every other one except Hawaii and Alaska.  The winner is..........: Tennessee. This morning's drive was jaw dropping. Winding roads (in excellent...

First, a guy on his little houseboat ran out of gas and drifted onto shore by my camp, so we spent the morning hanging out - interesting fellow. I asked him about snakes in the area. He said he had only seen a couple in the years he had been coming here. Cool, right?. THEN within 10 minutes he...

I'm new to Ebooks - read a couple online and downloaded a couple. I don't understand the reader part. Is there such a thing as a free reader that isn't a trial. I did download EPub3 reader but didn't use it and now it's expired. Can I just download different trial versions and uninstall the last...
