And onto more changes in Panoply….
Guess I need to post the shower curtain pic next. It is an awesome curtain!
Leon changed out the extremely low faucet to one he could get his oversized hands beneath. A Moen, purchased at a box store in Michigan. What a difference it makes. I can fit a small plastic box with a lid beneath it to run off cold water when boondocking.
Today is another day to make the best of – or waste. The choice is ours.
I'm going swimming! - Not
I have put off posting – in part because I wanted to wait until Leon really started blogging with me as planned, yes, that is why the title change – a play on Bogie and McCall, but I don’t LIKE “Bogie” and exercised my veto rights, lol.
He will join in, I know, if I start blogging again, so, before I rush off to work:
Plan on more pictures as we did start full time RVing on April 21, 2011. A tad bit late, RV still unfinished inside, but we are loving our new life style. I am doing my best to stomp out that thought, “Why did we NOT do this twenty years ago – or more?”
Lots to catch up on! An RV Lifestyle and Safety Seminar and a driving class in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Organizing our RV, Dumping our TV for a …., exciting news from the home front, our first workamping job at Thunder Bay Golf & RV Resort in Hillman, MI (we love it!), our new bikes, and our travel plans – and – how living in 26.5 feet minus the motor is working out.
And, if you read this blog before, you know I do have opinions! As does Leon. And no, my values have not changed!
My extended hiatus from blogging is over! I hope you enjoy our banter.
Many, if not all RVers, use at least a sediment filter on their incoming water line. Some prop it in a bucket so it does not fall over, one ingenious RVer used a PVC pipe cap attached to his bumper to set the filter in. Leon did not want to mess with Panoply’s bumper. Instead, he used a bungee hooked to the window frame to hold the sediment filter off the ground. It worked fine. However, he added a carbon filter, as well, so lately he has just been using a bungie to hold both of them to the post that the water is connected to. Keeps them off the ground – and away from the RV.
We also have a good filter beneath our kitchen sink – and use a Brita for cooking and drinking. Overkill? Perhaps, but it makes us happy.
We are fulltiming in Panoply as of April 15, 2011, if not a few days sooner.
We are not looking at this as a full time vacation – it is merely a new, smaller home that moves – and we will have to workamp to pull it off. That’s OK, it is still a partial retirement.
Leon has worked hard for 47.5 years, many of those years were 6 day work weeks, some a full time and part time job held at same time.
Blogs will change – still working that out – this time Leon is supposed to chime in.
We have finally learned to not just dream, but dream on a larger scale – and work toward making our dreams happen. Have you?
Happy New Year!
May your New Year be a horizon that delivers promises implied.
