JoeandMarcia Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Linda, tell Ron to get his " big boy panties on " and shake that heart problem. I hope the new meds fix it. Wallace was right when he told us the salty ocean air would cause all our clothes to shrink. I'm sure it was the salty air and not all the food they forced us to eat everyday. We had fun and now we are back on vacation in the MH. We will spend the next couple days cleaning the rig and tryinr to figure out where to next.

fedexman Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 OK, I have finally talked Paulie into going to Q this winter. Are there any plans for class get togethers for January? This will be our first trip and we are looking forward to it. We are currently in west Memphis at Tom Sawyer's on the Mississippi enjoying the sunset. Spent over a week in Elkhart after the Escapade getting some work done on the coach. Boy, was it ever hopping around there! We pigged out on prime rib at Dandinos twice and then discovered the Chicken Coop for breakfast. Gotta start walking again, these ol jeans are snugging up a bit! Heading to the RGV to see that 93 year old swinger down in Weslaco. Not sure where to stay this week. Have heard Llano Grande is under water...the golf course is prolly closed this year. Hope there are some folks we can meet up with this fall. hugs dennise The (retired) FedExman & the Dizzy Blonde Paul and Dennise Ziaja Living our Fulltime Dream 2002 Damon Ultrasport 2007 Saturn Vue toad Traveling with our yorkiepoos Mack and Lucy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeandMarcia Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 If the class of 07 doesn't have anything going on the ESCAPEES will have their thing going on. I have heard Bob and Molly will be there this year, and any time spent with them will lead to fun and excitement. I'm sure others will be there also. We are sitting at Sumter Oaks deciding which way we will be turning when we leave the park, and when we will be leaving the park. I went with a fellow SKP today in search of tires and found the tire business is as messed up as the RV industry was a year or so ago. They jacked their prices up when oil went so high in 08, but they have not dropped them since the price of oil dropped, on top of that it is almost like they quit making RV tires. All these decisions have made me so tired I need a nap.............

Carolyn Wilkerson Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 fedexman, there are BOF groups of SKPs who gather in January at Q. The Boondockers are northeast of town on Palomas Rd., and the Boomers have a big gathering east of town. Ask on this forum under "Boondocking" and I imagine someone will give you directions. And the official SKP gathering is usually at the Boomers site. Hope you have a great time at Q. Won't make it myself this year, maybe next.

JoeandMarcia Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 What Joe..youare n't staying in FL this winter?? OH Yea, as of now the "etch-a-sketch shows us meandering out of FL sometime in May of 2011. We will be leaving Bushnell Thursday, we have a long drive down to Key West, and we want to be there during the third week in Oct. Thinking about it, most people get a week or maybe two weeks to spend on their vacation and here we are planning two weeks to get to our "vacation" spot. I love this life style................

lelandschliep Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Wow, the summer has flown! We're loading up to leave our home base at Shepherd tomorrow. The ususal thousand things to get done but the car is packed and most of the compartments are organized. Just loads and loads of last minute stuff. We're off to Pendleton and then down to Vancouver to exchange the Brake Buddy and then probably to the coast. Should be a great winter!

BobGuy Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well it WAS good to have the wheels rolling for just a little while! Yes, Linda, we got towed into the Lee-Hi truck stop about 10:30 PM..that's in Lexington VA...on the way to Lexington KY...hope we can get there!!! The kids have had the tickets for almost a year for the International Horse Show, so they will be very disappointed!! It looks like the AC compressor locked up, which broke the serpentine belt on the fan, which causes an overheating situation and shuts down everything else...bummer...poop happens. Maybe Mr. T will wave the wand and everything will be all fixed up, fast. Or maybe we'll just be heading to Red Bay sooner than planned...if they can get us running. Wahhhhhhhhhh!!!

marty cassidy Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I landed near Cincinnati yesterday to visit my "East Coast" family. It'll take me a week or so to bail a few out of jail, round up the runaway nieces and nephews from the streets, grant some "loans" to those facing imminent foreclosure, and get a cousin or two into rehab. I'm hoping to pass through Campbellsville when I head south, then over to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Once I see the colors I'll head to the Gulf at the slightest indication of winter arriving... 2007 Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD (Green) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricia90518 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Currently parked with the Boomers at the Balloon Fiesta. Saw the Crew video today and listened to one of the pilots at the Happy Hour today. Tomorrow morning will be able to observe/help launch a few balloons at a school yard and the main event starts on Saturday. It will be early mornings for the days I help. I'll be in Quartzsite in January but don't know with which group I will be parking. - Trisha Trisha Schmidt 2008 Tiffin Phaeton 2006 Saturn Vue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
