  1. Apparently I got the itch. I packed up this morning to go to the grocery store and just kept right on going. West. Towards Arizona. May take me a month to get there, though. Linda Sand
  2. But, not all of us have your flight benefits. Linda Sand
  3. What makes you so sure we haven't met the other couple? I'd love to join you but I can't make it to Yuma by Saturday. Linda Sand
  4. I think we all have Jim's recovery on our list of things to be thankful for this season. My list is a long one this year. I hope yours is, too. Linda Sand
  5. I had my rig weighed and Chris said I should ask you what tire pressure gauge to buy. I can't find any other way to contact you. I'm currently at RE in site 71.

  6. Didn't go to Houston. Daughter got a load headed for Virginia so would be gone before I could get there. My neighbor and I are headed over to the activity center to play cribbage and sign up for Thanksgiving dinner. Linda Sand
  7. Thanks. She called from WalMart and said they're hoping to get another load out. She'll send me an email if they do. If not I may just drive down for the day. Or stay at WalMart. Linda
  8. If you don't have to be an Elk I might use that information tomorrow. Our daughter is driving to Houston this evening and if she doesn't get another load right away (OTR driving) I might drive down to see her. We have neither one seen the other's new rig. Linda Sand
  9. I ate both supper and breakfast at that Cracker Barrel but managed not to buy the sweatshirt. Got my new RV weighed today. It is underweight in every category! Wish I could say that about my body. So I can keep buying stuff. Except I don't know what I want besides a screen for the slider door and that's not going to weigh much. Guess I could go back and buy the sweatshirt. Linda Sand
  10. I am safely tucked into Rainbow's End for however long I decide to stay here. Going to have my new rig weighed tomorrow so living on batteries tonight but will plug everything in when I get back. Stocked up on groceries before I got here so I may not move for a long time. Linda Sand
  11. That's 'cause be takes them all out to dinner. Linda Sand
  12. Not my fault given the number of things I bought for the new rig. Still have a couple yet to buy, too, but waiting for the budget to catch up a bit. Linda Sand
  13. Well at least you get to sleep without worrying about waking him tonight or feeding him in the morning. Then it's back to full service waiting. Know that we are all here waiting with you. Linda Sand
  14. I've been out of touch a long time but everything is fine. I'm in Austin, TX, living in my new RV and Dave is safely back in Minnesota. I've only driven it once but it handles well and I'll be going out again in the next day or so for more punch list stuff and groceries. Hopefully, I won't get too nervous driving this big to me rig. Linda Sand
  15. Geez, I miss a couple of days and there are three pages to catch up on. OK, it may have been more than a couple of days. But, I've been busy getting ready to move into my new RV which I get possession of TOMORROW! Unfortunately, the boxes of stuff I shipped down aren't going to be here yet so it will take a few days to get moved in and stocked up. Then begins a new chapter as Dave heads back to Minnesota without me. Wonder what this chapter will look like? Linda Sand
  16. Well, I'm not on the road yet but I'm packing. We leave Friday for Texas where my van is supposed to be ready Monday. Dave will stay down there until we feel OK about me being on my own then head back home. I have planned to have no plans. I want to be free to feel my way into this solo traveling bit. Forty-five years of togetherness with the last five of it being 24/7 will make this be VERY different. So I have made NO commitments other than coming home next Spring. Linda Sand
  17. The RV Driving school has changed ownership. Not sure the BBQ will happen now that Dennis is not in charge. I may have missed my chance. Linda Sand
  18. Sandie, You do know there are wheelchair accessible fishing docks, right? Nothing keeps a good man down. Linda Sand
  19. I won't know until I actually get my new rig and spend some time in it. I haven't driven much the last four years so don't know how far I can go between naps. And I have to test my boondocking limits to see how long I can stay out. So my answer is a big MAYBE. Linda Sand
  20. The map has been playing games. Every now and then it converts a character to some foreign one with an accent or umlaut or something. Then it deletes everything after that character. This time it was IYQ's entry but Dave doesn't think it was anything IYQ actually did wrong. Except putting in coordinates that say he's in Mexico. Anyway it should all be working again. If you are having problems it's best to send Dave an email as he rarely reads Escapees now that he's housebound again. But, once notified, he usually fixes things very quickly. You can contact him directly at sandsys at gmail dot com. We both check that address at least once a day and usually more than that. On a totally different topic, I finally got a delivery date for my new RV. October 29th. Two weeks to finalize everything I need to do here and be ready to hit the road again. Linda Sand
  21. Hi Peggy, I'm Linda and my other half is also David but more often known as Dave. We full-timed starting in 2008 for just over three years. Now Dave is anchored in Minneapolis and I am about to begin solo snowbirding. My new RV is currently being converted from a van to a motorhome in Austin, Texas, and I am due to pick it up sometime late this month. Don't know what I'll do then. I was about to say my Dave may be the only truly sane one of this bunch but then I realized choosing to spend winters in Minneapolis doesn't sound very sane. Linda Sand
  22. So sorry to hear about Dave. Glad to hear Millie is well. It always scares me a bit to hear of this happening to a solo RVer; hopefully he was camped near friends. Linda Sand
  23. My sympathies to you and all your family. Linda Sand
  24. Freeze warning here tonight. Is it a good or bad thing that I don't have my new RV yet? Linda Sand
