Man, it hurts to think this deeply. Need to take a mid-morning nap.

Well, the way our language is altered and butchered these days, "Nooks" are ereaders and "crannies" is short for cranberries. Gives the expression an whole new meaning.

Most of them are my "throw away" email and when the junk gets to much I just delete it and create another one.

So there back atchya.

Dueling IT security; I was a senior systems analyst for ExxonMobil for 28 years. I also have a couple of throw-down email addys and one that is cloaked. I don't have the group emails routed to my regular email because they tend to take over the in-box. So, I log in to Yahoo to see the group activity.

Now back to packing. Colorado bound on Saturday!!

From somewhere on the web........

"As for who first decided to put them together and when--- I couldn't tell you.

But it makes sense, since they are more or less synonymous, and therefor combining them creates an hyperbolic emphasis on the extent of relevant crevices.

All very well but in my part of the world the expression was "crooks and nannies"

I talked to Linda this morning. Mike's wish was to be cremated and have his asses interred with his parents. She will be having a memorial at his house in Phoenix, but the date has not been set.

And I forgot to ask if Mike had a favorite charity, Dang it! She's more than a bit overwhealmed, but she said Mike was very organized and had put his affairs in order. She just needs time to go thru his stuff.

Please ignore the cheesy grin in the title. I didn't mean for it to be there and I can't edit out. But it didn't put in the like I wanted. That will be in front of Mike's name whenever I post about him. That is how I see him and honor him.

Well ... I may have to agonize over that decision.

Thanks for the update, Barb. I hope Linda is holding up OK.

I usually make memorial donations to either St. Jude's Children's Hospital or the ASPCA, or occasionally a new book for the library. I think in Mike's case, I will go with the ASPCA since he was a dog lover.

Personally I don't see a problem. Water will be the easiest, then digging a line trench and connecting it to the sewer line would be second, and because electricity is what it is, I place it the more difficult.

Consider hiring professionals for the job and make darn sure that they configure the electricity correctly. It is not wired like an electric dryer. When you get ready for that, let us know and we'll provide a like for the correct RV electrical hook up.

Are there any city/county codes that need to be adhered to? Are permits needed?

Edited: What the hey: here is the link to the electric: RV Electric

Put in the 50 amp service even if you don't need it right now. You may get a 50 amp later, OR we may come visit.

Jeesh...thus is hard to do on my phone!!

Anyway, thanks so much Wayne! I will save this link.

The more I talk to my Dad about these issues, the more I realize the tasks will fall on my shoulders, alone. I don't think he wants to be bothered with any of it.

It won't be that bad.... as long as the costs are reasonable.

Many of you were familiar with Dunner before I joined iRV2, but I bumped into him on threads even as a lurker. Those of us who "knew" him journeyed with him through some difficult terrain. There was a point not long ago when it appeared our buddy Mike was back among us and the rainbow brightened up a bit. I thought his health had taken a turn for the better, but it seems perhaps he was putting his best self forward. He told me not long ago that "it was bad". He said he had lived hard and pretty much made his way as he pleased. It was clear to me he was 100% mutant through and through.

And so with that, and without putting it to a vote – I hereby appoint on this day - May 29, 2014 - Mike (Dunner) Beatty – RVM23 as our Official Guardian Angel. We will now ride the rainbow with you looking over our shoulder Mike and we're all better for having known you.

Journey In Peace Mike

Awwww....that's nice.
