Our rainbow rider may be small, but it works for us. Y'all have my sympathy.

Barb, I'm about to decide we may want to get a 30' or 31' Class C one of these days ... before we have to sink another $9,000 into Bow. Sheesh. I don't know how many more hits to the savings account we can take. After retirement, the bank account (monthly income) will be considerably smaller. Maybe we'll give it a year on the road, then re-evaluate. I really had NO idea how expensive it is to repair and maintain a DP!

My guess is some kind of accelerant…unless palm trees are highly combustible, which I have no clue if they are or not.

I thought it was a fake palm tree... and fake plants... which are flamable. I think that's what I read...

Hello fellow mutants. KS Crude is no longer AWOL. He started partying with some guys in Munjor & they were going to the lake & wanted him to bring the jet skis. Yes, alcohol was involved & he took the jet skis to the lake. Neglected to text me to let me know he was going. And leaving his phone in the car the whole time he was out on the lake. Grrrrr. Scared the bejeezus outta me
It was stormy & windy, so what does a reasonable person do? GO OUT ON THE LAKE WITH A JET SKI. (not) He took a spill at 50 mph, landed on his back, & is walking around like an old man. Says maybe (?) he needs to go to the chiropractor. LOL
Thanks to everyone who called, texted & worried. I was worried. But he's fine, we did FaceTime tonight. And, I'm going to give him a good talking to when I get back to Kansas.
Such a joy to spend time with Steve & Annie. We ate out twice today, did a little gambling & looked for RV resorts. Wish I could stay in Vegas till they leave, so we could have more fun. I'm here two more days, so we are not done.
How do you people do those posts with multiple quotes & add multiple replies? I want to do that & can't figure it out......
Wayne, I will pass along your info to the Donald.
Night everyone!

and, if you ask the folks here... it all varies from year to year... Honey looks better each time I see what ya'll have to sink into our rainbow riders... She may be an old gal, but by golly... she runs and keeps up cool and dry!

Colleen, glad to hear Don is safe! Sore and achy is sometimes the best reminder to think! Could have been so much worse. We've all been guilty of that not thinking at one time or another. Hopefully we all learned from those moments! Looking forward t Bryce!

Good morning mutants!
Another hot day in Las Vegas.
Low key day today. Going to do a little shopping today and otherwise take it easy. We may even take advantage of the pool today. Recharge our internal batteries and reset our internal clocks. Been on the go since we arrived. Having a great time.
Annies family left at 9:30 am yesterday and are almost to Lincoln Nebraska. 1,240 miles in 24 hours. with another 475 to go... x 2... makes ya appreciate the slow roll!
