Truck Alignment Fine, Needed a New Tire

April 22, 2023 If you are following our journey, you know we recently left Alabama to go to Louisiana. We discovered a tire problem as we went through our checklist. We replaced the failing tire with the spare tire. On Monday (April 17), Bruce called around and found a place that would do a tire […]

River Ridge Retreat Pier in Guntersville, AL

September 11, 2022 I am trying to do more walking, but at the same time, I’m still taking it easy by making sure I walk on flat surfaces. Bruce is doing his best to help. He asked if I wanted to go to the pier. I thought about it, and told Bruce, I was willing […]

Rig Weight

August 23, 2022 One of my blog friends asked about the weight of the rig. I thought instead of replying in a comment, I would do a post. Dave and Tina Rayburn, Weighing Specialist proved a report after weighing the rig. On the tow vehicle, Cliff the Big Red Truck, here is the axel measurement […]

Getting the Total Rig Weighed

August 21, 2022 On Friday, we had the truck weighed. On Saturday, on our way out, we had the total rig (truck and RV) weighed. First, we had to dump everything in our tanks. Since our campsite didn’t have a sewer hookup, we had to use the dump station. Once Bruce dumped the tanks, he […]

Getting the Truck Weighed

August 19, 2022 Bruce signed up to get the RV weighed while we are at the FROG Rally. The team that does the weighing wanted to weight the truck first. They wanted a full tank of diesel and everyone who would normally be in the truck for the weighing. We will pull the RV up […]

Picking Up the New Tire

The Motorcycle Is Back!

May 5, 2022 On Tuesday (May 3), Bruce called to check on his motorcycle. It turned out the shop had not started working on the motorcycle yet. Bruce explained that we are traveling and we’d be leaving in two weeks. (Link to dropping the motorcycle off https://retirementrvdream.com/2022/04/22/campfire-at-sunset/) The motorcycle shop moved up the bike and […]

Spare Tire Replaced… the Rest of the Story

March 29, 2022 While Bruce was changing the flat tire, he didn’t have the jack in the right place at first. The truck started lifting, then there was an unpleasant sound and the truck dropped. Bruce said some four letter words that I won’t repeat. This is when he went back and looked at the […]

It’s Melting, It’s Melting

March 16, 2021 The snow has significantly melted from yesterday morning to today. I took some pictures at lunch and you can see how much the snow has melted from the end of the snowpocalypse in just over 24 hours.

Morning Has Broken and No More Snowfall

March 15, 2021 (The Ides of March) We woke to a snow covered world, with the sun shinning. While we do have some clouds, the snow has stopped. We got over two feet of snow, well, we got over two feet of snow on the outdoor kitchen. The middle of the yard looks like it […]
