Yup, it was 75 here today. Diane got in a round of golf and I spent a few hours on the Pickleball Courts. I'm very happy we are where we are.

We still pop in to see whats happening here but like you mentioned, it's pretty slow and hit & miss. I do Facebook but am not friends with a bunch of people so pretty much am out of the know. Glad to hear you are happy with the progress of the house Jeff!!

I did look at the Blackstone tailgater version but felt the Camp Chef 60x pro was a better fir for me. If I were thinking about a unit to sit on the patio I might have made a different choice, not sure.

I guess I should touch back on this. First off thanks for all of the comments!! We did sell the Green Mountain smoker grill and purchased a Camp Chef PRO 60x 2 burner and bought a BBQ box and griddle and so far I'm in love with it. I love the folding legs with built in levelers and the 2 side shelves to begin with BUT the griddle is my new favorite friend when it comes to cooking. When we get to our winter location I plan to buy a double griddle as well. I cook almost everything on the griddle.

Congrats on the 6 years, that's a good chunk of time out seeing the country. Far more than most will ever see. Is the plan to continue having a RV after the house is finished or are you going to hang up the keys?

This is our second Tiffin product and as far as motorhomes go we can't complain. I don't think there will be a third however. If and when we make a change I think it will be to a 5th wheel when we start sitting in spots longer. Not this year and probably not next year but the year after, well who knows.

Oh no!!! We have owned a Tiffin since 2007 and have only been to Red Bay once. This will make the second time and we certainly dn't plan on making it a habit LOL!!

Well have a grand time in Colorado!!!! Diane and I dropped down out of Michigan after spending about the last 7 weeks bouncing around. We have been sitting in Shipshewana Indiana the last 4 days and will hit the road early in the morning and start our bee-line to Red Bay. Hope to roll in there on Saturday bt dang, that's lke650 miles away!! That normally takes us like 3 months to travel that far at least!!!

I'm not sure if Facebook killed the thread or if what I hear about some of the original group wanting to split things up is the cause but regardless it seems we got in on the tail end of the party and you are right, this thread is for all practical purposes lost it's luster. As far as football goes you know that I'm a KC fan and Diane is a cheaters,,,,,,, I mean Patriots fan so it was a interesting night here LOL!! And it was her birthday to LOL!!! None the less KC made one good opening season statement last night. I do know that watching the late games while on east coast time sucks LOL!! Stay well down there.

Those dang gremlins!!! We were moving from Petoskey Michigan to Empire a week ago and a (what must have been a really fat) gremlin ran across the floor and cracked a floor tile. We have a few more weeks here in Michigan but I guess our route down south has changed and because of the cracked tile (we have heated floors and I don't want to take a chance changing it out) and a few things that we need taken care of under warranty (We gave Tiffin a list within our first year so they will honor those things under the 1st year warranty) we will head south to Red Bay before sliding over to Arizona. In the mean time we have REALLY been loving Michigan. Travel safe everyone.

Dang, you morning temps are above our mid day highs LOL!! Hang on, it will cool down soon.

Damn Roger, we have been RVin for about 18 years I guess and the last 10 in a motorhome and can honestly say we have not heard of anyone that has had a continuous string of bad luck with RV's like you guys have had, really sorry to hear about the latest bout. Hang in there!!

You will get er done Roger, in due time. Just enjoy what ya got going on now and things will fall into place.

We have come to the conclusion that finding a perfect spot just isn't possible. I think we have decided it will have to be a combination of 2 places when the time comes. How that will happen I have no idea LOL!!

Sort of what I expected, move it to them.

It's a company that our financial advisor with Edward Jones says they work with so I guess the answer could be yes as far as someone we might have money with otherwise. There are a few years left before funds would have to be taken out because of age.

Here’s one for you guys. In part of an inheritance that just came our way is an annuity that has matured that we can either transfer into our investment accounts or open an account with the holder and let it stay put for up to 5 years with a guaranteed 3% before having to take it out. Or of course cash it out which we won't do. Our first thought is that we have a couple accounts that are doing much better than 3% right now so moving it makes sense but the market is ripe for a “correction”. In that case we are thinking about leaving it sit at the guaranteed 3% until a correction happens and then make a move with it. Does that sound like sound thoughts in the current market? (Oh crystal ball)

Well dang, that's to bad Jeff. Hopefully it isn't hurt to bad and you have it running strong again soon.

Bang those gears Jeff!!! Happy to hear you are enjoying the new S&B's Roger, hope to see ta down south this year. If so will it be the same rig or something different in the works? We have worked our way across the country from Oregon and are in Milw. Wisconsin right now. Will head to Door County on Monday and then continue up and over in Michigan. First time in this part of the country and lots to see.

I don't know how you guys deal with his mid section weather. We have been in the mid state for only a few weeks now and I'm already getting tired of the storms coming through. I remember this growing up in Iowa and I'm pretty sure after this years travel I'll turn it all back to a memory and just stay out west and south in the winter. Hell a guy can't fly RC planes in this crap LOL!!

We felt the same way last summer when one of our 3 went out. We had to replace the entire unit however.

That driver will be back in full swing soon I'm sure, at least he's not breaking stuff any more. Hope all goes well with Cali.

Well, we started out trek east June 1st and have slowly made it to Spearfish SD so far. We will move ALL THE WAY to Rapid City Monday and spend a few days.LOL!! We still plan to drop into the top of Michigan August 1st. Everyone have a safe travel (or not travel) summer!

Wow, your luck must be changing, you drove in AFTER the weather for a change.

You will get there,,, don't rush it. Juts practice more with that left hand on the keyboard.
