Welcome Jake!

And now for something completely different...

It may have finally happened -we have accepted an offer on the house. Closing is slated for 8/12 with 2 weeks grace to get everything out. Looks like we're heading for the Rainbow full time...

At the moment I'm scared sh*tless...we'll see how things go...

It sounds like Jake has figured us out -- except that he is next up for mop and broom duty. Welcome to the madness, Jake! Look for PMs from me about the other ways we mutants communicate.

Welcome Jake, RVM 141.

I'm the sane, lovable, adorable, good looking, blah, blah, blah. I have a theme song that is just wonderful. When you receive the alternative means of Mutant communications, please ask me to send it to you. I'd be more than happy to share it with everyone again.

Ya HOOO! Congrats Dave and Carol! Full time rainbow riding has too many perks to mention.

Have you made your reservation for the August 2017 RVMoon Grande Curiosity in Oregon yet? I know it's a long time away, but Oregon is really busy in August.

I think it's great when mutants leap to the outer rainbow. Mel and Kate did us and I'm sure Dave and Carol will too!!

Keep us in the loop!

I don't have a diesel pushing me, a satellite dish entertaining me, or a job keeping me from enjoying life. And you know what, I don't care.



Think I can join your merry group?

Thanks for the welcome everyone. While I never considered myself a mutant prior to reading and understanding what you all believe and do, I now understand that I have been a mutant for my entire life.

A little background:

Spent 20 years in the navy, retired as a MMCS(SS). I was a nuclear trained machinist mate, riding 5 different boats. The education the navy gave me led to a job with GE Nuclear. Spent 23 years with them, retiring for good in 2007.

My better half of 30 plus years has tried to keep me on the straight and narrow, but it has proven to be a very difficult job. One she has not always excelled at. 😄

We have had RV's since 1985. This is the 2nd MH, also had 2 5th wheels. We bought a park model in Tucson 5 years ago, and sold our last 5'er. Last year we sold our home in TN, and moved full time to Tucson. Not wanting to stay there in the hotter months, we bought our latest RV in May. In the last month and a half we have been to the Grand Canyon North Rim, Utah canyon lands, southern CO, northern NM, OK, KS, MO, and finally TN to visit family. Looking forward to hitting the Outer Banks this summer. Every place is a new experience, or a memory refresher that is probably overdue. There is no place I want to stay forever, I just want to keep traveling and see new places and meet new friends. The journey is everything.

Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible. If you pass through the Clarksville, TN area this summer, holler. We may still be here.

Jake

I practically invented them. After tasting my first one in St. Croix many many years ago (Caribbean cruise courtesy of the USN), I try to not spend a day without one. I occasionally relapse and have a beer or a glass of wine, but the mighty margarita still rules.

Just around the corner from us is a public parking area and they allow RV's into a special section just for RV's. The cost is $45 a night - no hook-ups. It is by a marina.

It is filled up. Welcome to Southern California.

Looks like we have another of the marvelous motoring mutants in the works. I envy you your freedoms. I believe you are lucky to be able to wander at will. Congratulations.
