I got talked back into coaching and it is killing my camping time. Cross Country in the fall & Track in the spring, but I’m enjoying it though. Gonna do a few more years, 2-4 anyway &retire for good. I’m actually retired, but able to keep teaching because of a teacher shortage. Double dipping is nice for our finances. My teaching situation is a good one.
It’s always nice when you enjoy your work.
From what I hear trapped moisture isn’t a problem. At least not for rust. Sometimes mold can be a problem and that is why some banks won’t make a loan on one.I"m with Tour, glad to see you post as well
Thanksgiving is always a hit around my house. This year was a little different though since so many people weren't available -- it was just Me, Mrs. Sweeney, and a bunch of critters. Watching the obligatory "Planes, Tranes, and Automobiles" -- with an early start of "Its a Wonderful Life" -- Two of my favorite movies of all time.
There is an interview with the actress who played Zuzu talking about the film recorded not too long ago -- just saying, the interviewer is certainly going to be controversial to some. Its worth listening too found here. If you like his style, "Patric Coffin" in your podcast application will find him.
On the spray foam, I'm looking buying a cargo van -- and sw one that looks great but it was spray foam insulated --- probably using "great stuff" -- I'm worried about rust due to moisture being captured without a place to escape. Probably not as much fo an issue for commercial applications to large spaces - but I'm concerned about metal framing with voids and open areas were spray could not reach.
You remember Yamoto? I thought I was the only one -- I knew it as "StarBlazers" - not sure it was the same story though, I've seen a couple Anime stories that use the same animation to tell different stories. Most specifically a "Battle of the planets" which was voiced by Casey Kasem when I saw it -- but a recent version (8-10 years ago) was completely different. BOTP was shown on my local NBC affiliate as a kid, but the Anime (Speed Rader & StarBlazers) came out of Chicago --- Channel 44 and Channel 9 (WGN) before they were a "superstation"

Yeah, being at a school without problems is a plus due to the stability. It’s a rural county with a small college with a sizable Mennonite population too. It’s a small high school too. Coaching lets you get to know kids on a more personal level. Being at a point in life where I’m good financially is a huge plus too. No mortgage and pretty much no debt means I can walk way if it turns upside down. We definitely think differently as educators at this point than 20 years ago when we were paying a mortgage and a had a kid at home.
--- I HOPE!Sweeney I imagine you know about the CheapRV youtuber...he's got people helping now and IIRC keep tabs on the latest there.We had that mid week. Not quite the 8, but it was down in the teens with gusty winds. It was pretty miserable. Then to make matters worse, our furnace acted up. You know, having 30 cats in the house with the furnace fan "circulating" --- every hour, runs for 10 minutes --- even when you don't use AC or heat will clog up a filter pretty fast :O My guess is, I need an additional air return in the house - the filter probably "put it over the top"
Working now -- but the temps are a little higher - around 30 today with bright blue sunny skies.
Still I asked myself "WHY?! WHY!? WHY!!! Did I leave packing my wheel bearings off until now....I could have done them 4 weeks ago when the temps were in the 50 and 60's. 41 is the highest in the next 10 days and I have no choice but to do it before it gets really cold, especially if I'm thinking about heading south in about 4 weeks.
SubThread Question
Anyone here been to Quartsize in a teadrop? Or, is anyone planning on being there this year? I know people who have taken their T@Bs out, but not a true teardrop in the sense we think of them.
I'll wager keeping a battery charged will be trivial with Solar. My 230 watts panel dose a fantastic job of that. What are the temperatures like in the last part of January and February? Food prices? Meat primarily - I'm a "bad" carnivore and besides hanging out with friends (if you make them) what else is there to do besides drinking and socialize? I don't expect Disney -- but I'm sure there's "some" draw there besides 'the big tent'
A lot of the nomads I watch seem to do just that. Meanwhile, I continue to work with gusto towards the second act in the play of life. Not sure how many acts are -- I just know it isn't the final act
Yeah, there's even your namesake park on the north end of the lake, but not sure they would allow camping.lol. Little far from the RTR! But at least they spelled it right
