Mrs.E. and I don't travel well together. I drive and she flies. Her busy
schedule with horse activities, her elderly parents and the "dogs" makes it
difficult for her to afford the extra travel time by auto/RV.

I usually make much better time driving alone anyway and pick her up at the
destination's nearest airport.

Have a good trip.

I think you should pay someone, namely me, to come and remove that old,
beat up, eyesore of an RV from your property. For a reasonable amount, I
might take the trailer also.

For the little use we have for it, I should take you up on that offer.
Mrs.E. will have no part of getting rid of it though, at least not yet. I
take it out once a month and drive it around for a day, running the
generator, just to keep it up to 'snuff. That's what is nice about it's
size. You can also use it for around town transportation and not feel like
you are driving a big RV or truck. When I was building a stairway up to my
new office and needed some 14' 2x10's at Lowe's, it came in handy. Still,
after 2 and a half years, it only has 3,700 miles on it.

Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks, I am planning on a little
mid-winter voyage in it. I have no idea where I am going to head, but it
will be someplace warmer and dryer than here. Winter sucks.

Hey, if you want to deliver it to DC, I could be talked into giving you a
bike ride back up north.

Winter does suck, and it's even worse with a bad neck. I tried jogging on
the treadmill yesterday. That lasted all of about 12 seconds. Hell, I can't
even go to the indoor range and hit golf balls. The grass isn't growing, so
no mowing. Cabin fever sucks!

My wife only lets me hold my "unlimited plastic card" when she is with
me. That's in case she wants a new washing machine or a new car. The
only card I usually carry is my "internet purchase" cash card, which
never has more than a few hundred bucks' room on it. Of course, if I
want to buy clothes, there are no limits. Some years, I spend as much as
$300 on new shorts and shirts. Without wifely supervision. Which
explains all the semi-pornographic fishing shirts I have in my closet I
cannot wear in public.

I dunno, Don. There are blacks and Latinos who visit Disney World, and
we know our boy Herring doesn't like either group, especially Latinos
living in close proximity. A trailer park in Idaho might be more suitable.

My buddy in the BVI keeps asking me to head on down his way for a visit. A
couple weeks ago he had his boat moored between Saba Rock and the Bitter End
Yacht Club. By taking control of the web cam I was supposed to be able to
see his 32' Irwin sailboat.
I found the controls kind of jerky...don't know if that's because of my
computer or if I was competing with other viewers for control of the
tilt/pan/zoom.
D'oh... lost another 4% on my modest investments in January. That's my

the military base?

Eisboch


The asking price is $63,000, and the most I could get the NADA value to was
about $53,000 for that year, mileage, and accessories. I called and talked
to the lady. She tried to convince me it was a super deal, even when I
pointed out I could get a new 2007 (different make, same chassis), for
$62,700. She started in about how theirs was on a Mercedes chassis, and was
much better than what I was looking at. When I pointed out the chassis were
the same, she just kept saying that her's was a real good deal.

A poster over on 'RV' said that maybe they financed and still owed that
amount. That sounds like it may be true.

Sounds like it. RV's .... like boats (oopps ... should say "most" boats.
I forgot that some people sell 'em for close to what they paid for 'em)
..... depreciate enormously in the first year or two and if they financed it
they could easily be upside down.

Finding a used one, in good condition, and accurately priced is your best
bet.

Like I say, Flagstaff will be our first trip. When stationed in Los
Angeles, I had some Reserve units I worked with. Their training camp was
just out of Flagstaff, so I had reason to go there every so often. I fell
in love with the place, but my wife's never seen it or any of the
surrounding sights.
