We will be here in Ohio emptying our storage sheds and helping my parents empty their house and barn so they can sell and go into assisted living. Any luck and we will be back on the road in June.

Now know I can fit into two different spots and found out as long as the "Truck" doesn't move daily while here it can stay parked on site for no extra charge. Last year they said I had to pay an extra $100 for the truck to be there with the car. Had made arrangements for an outside parking spot for less, now I won't have to do that.

G&K Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Well Ladies and Gents, I'm back in civilization at bit before planned. Weatherford laid off 11,000 plus from their 65K workforce and guess who got caught in that one? lol Since my split with Karen in October last year I have found someone else. Her name is Rocel and she is here with me in Sidney, BC, Canada. Took a bit of work to get her Canadian tourist visa as she is from the Philippines. We have applied for a US tourist visa for her, and if all goes well after her interview on the 25th we will fly to Nashville and pick up the rig from JW sometime in mid-July. Then back to Ontario so I can get emissions certified and re-registered, then hopefully back to the West Coast and home in Sidney. We hope to spend some time in the southern USA visiting friends and family as far south as the Keys. If any of all y'all are around we would love to meet up. All the best to you all.

Darryl&Rita Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Did I miss something, George? We're still in the North for the summer, then headed to Phoenix area for the cold season. Rita will house-sit the 5er there while I fly for work, keeping her in the lifestyle she wants to become accustomed to. Wave as you fly to Ontario, I'll keep an eye peeled.

G&K Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi Darryl, I was in Kurdistan for 6 months, then spent the last 18 months in Qatar. It was supposed to be a 3 year contract, but the oil price got in the way. I've been home in Sidney BC since May 26th. My sea freight furniture shipment arrives (I hope) on July 8th after which I'm free to travel. Karen and I split up mid-October last year after making not quite 41 years together. Rocel and I got together in January, but because she if from the Philippines all the ease of travel we are used to is denied to her. It took two tries to get her a tourist visa to Canada, and we are sitting on the edge of our chairs waiting to see if the US will let her in. If it works out OK, we will fly Victoria - Vancouver - Orlando - Nashville and pick up the rig from JW's place in Unionville, TN sometime around mid-July. We are for sure going to come through Alberta in probably early to mid August as I have to renew my Alberta class 1 which requires my physical presence. Maybe we can finally meet up?

Phil D Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Welcome back to "civilization", George. Sorry to hear of your employment misfortune.

budeneighe Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi Guys. We are coasting in the SKP Evergreen Park in Chimacum, wa for a couple-3 months before heading to Glacier NP in Sept. Not clear on where after that. We have spent the past 7 months in Sequim hosting at the city park. That might be a repeat this coming winter, too. Yeah. I look at the weather across the whole country and it looks like a disaster movie playing out. So far, this area has been the only place not plagued with weather extremes and risks. At some point we are touristing in Victoria on a day trip or two. Just don't know when. Got a fur kid we can't leave too long. Clearly, we have no plan, just like spending over 3 months in Redding 2014. We had not originally planned to even make a stop there at Christmas 2013. Hope the rally was all that was expected for the attendees. Maybe next time we can be more in the area.

G&K Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Well, yesterday was "interesting". I guess it goes to show that you should never present an immigration officer with anything out of the ordinary. It is always easier to say no, and probably safer from a career perspective. I'm little ticked off over the immigration process yesterday. It was pretty unpleasant, not because of any law or regulation we fell foul of, just seems like a lot depended on the personalities involved and good luck if you hit the wrong person. Rocel and I don't have the easiest case to understand because of the complication of living and working in Doha up until last month, so, as indicated in the US Immigration web site, we put the whole thing down in a one-page summary letter and added all the backup documentation to verify the truth in her application. Rocel speaks excellent English, but not natively fluent. And she was already nervous about this process as no one wants to talk to government officials that control your destiny, from ANY nation, if you don't have to. So the Consul grills her verbally, but won't look at any of the provided documentation she supplied. It was fronted by a concise one page summary letter, for crying out loud, that explained why she wanted to go the the US, how long she wanted to stay, her ties to countries outside the US to make sure she would go home at the end of the visit, and finally she explained exactly how she would pay for her visit. Would have taken less than a minute to read and digest. And the consul completely ignored all of this. As Rocel wasn't working any more in Qatar and she was on a Canadian tourist visa, end of story. Entry denied. Now in the interest of balance, the Canadian system is about as screwed up, but in the opposite direction. There, you are never allowed to speak with a human being. EVERYTHING has to be presented in writing, and if it isn't clear enough, entry denied. Took two tries to get her Canadian tourist visa as we were too casual on the first submission. Traveling the globe with Rocel has also been a very good introduction to institutional racism applied towards travelers in the modern world. As an older white male Canadian I have a free ride pretty much anywhere. Yes, sir, visa on arrival or no visa at all, how long would you like to stay sir? No problem sir. Have a nice day sir!! If you are brown and from the developing world you have the Devil of a time getting a visa into most developed countries. Even a tourist visa. The automatic assumption is that you are trying to find a job and its assumed you will overstay your visa deadline and become an illegal alien. To be fair, it does happen enough that there are good reasons behind the prejudices. But we supplied the correct paperwork to make that a non-event. It would be pleasant if the govt officials charged with a task actually did their jobs instead of just wielding a "denied" stamp. If we hadn't done the letter and provided all the supporting documents I could understand this a lot better!! The bad guys seem to be able to cruise across our porous borders with little consequence, but trying to do it up front and legally has some interesting challenges if you "aren't from these parts". lol Geo Quote George,Suzuki Celerio 998cc Yamaha NMAX scooter Work ride is Western Star N2 Tri-Tri tanker at 56,500kg loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawdog Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Fishing lake Texoma was less than wished for this year, record rain brought the lake up over the spillway for the fourth and fifth time in history, all in just a month. Sit through about 30” of rain in a little over a month, Texoma was going up a foot a day for the whole time, dropped a bit then Bill came in and put it over the dam again. So now headed to NRA Whittington Center to burn some powder and spend the 4th with some good chronograph readings, or change some MAX loads to better than what they are now.
