It’s almost 3 yrs I’ve been full time 2019 will be adjusting to a few changes. 😋

Happy and Heathy New Year 

Update

I retired February 28th, had a knee replacement March 28th, moved into my 5th wheel full time April 28th.

I'm really enjoying this lifestyle it's a big adjustment but I wouldn't be giving up the full time living any time soon.

Knee replacement surgery is over ( March 28th) I'm healing pretty good I have physical therapy until mid May.

I lost my work camping job in Wisconsin because I couldn't get there until the end of May so I decided to

make it work without work camping this summer but I'm finding campgrounds in Wisconsin and Illinois are not snow bird friendly the rates are very expensive (650.00 and up + electric) and limited monthly sites. I did find two one in Illinois and in Wisconsin the rates are under 500.00 + electric so I'll split my summer between the two until Sept. when I start heading to Texas.

May 1st I get my 5th wheel out of storage and start my full time living adventure

I am finally retired Feb. 26th 2016 been moving stuff out to the 5er since the weather has been warm.

I have knee replacement on March 28th need everything to go good and I need to heal fast so I can get to my summer work camping job.

Today I had new tires put on my truck I still need to get ball joints replaced one side and an alignment then the truck will ready.

I have a phone interview in a couple days for a work camping job in Mission Texas for the winter not really where I was thinking of going but I like the job description and I checked out the campground on line it seems like a nice campground.

that's my update

less then a month until I retire I have a work camping job lined up in Wisconsin for this summer starting late April, I'm hoping we have mild March weather so I can get my 5th wheel cleaned and organized

So any of you in the class of 2016 planning to go to the Escapees Rally in VT July 2016? Anyone already signed up? Kind of excited as we registered this past weekend including the Boot Camp. Timing is perfect... We're hoping to have the house sold or under contract with a closing date by then. Interested to hear if others are planning on boot camp and the VT rally.

I'm planning on going to the Escapade rally in Vermont I haven't registered yet but will soon.

05 m 16 d 15 h 43 m until I retire and go fulltime.

I haven't made any decision where to go in early March it depends on the weather.

10 months 30 days until I retire. We are cleaning out the house this summer.

I retire the end of February we'll be heading south maybe Florida or Alabama for a couple months.

We'll be full time and have no real plans except to be in Arizona for 5 months during the winter and back in Illinois to visit family and friends during the summer. There will trips around the lower 48 and I want one trip to Alaska.

2016 is my retirement/graduation year we are looking at staying on the road for 3 yrs then decide if we are happy living in a RV.

2017 we are planning on a trip to Alaska. We have to get rid of a lot of stuff and decide what we are keeping which we'll

put it in storage just in case we decide to get another house. I'm starting sell some on E-bay and we'll have either garage sales or pack in the truck and go the flea markets to sell it. I think we'll have more traffic at flea markets and be able to sell more. The rest will go to resale shop in town.

This will all change if I hit the lottery
