I’ve been keeping a spreadsheet of RVs for sale and watching how they are faring.  We have a wonderful used RV Consignment place in Houston.  It’s PPL and, I believe, they have the largest consignment of used RVs in Texas.

The Pilot and I spent the 4th of July at our family’s Great Texas Chili Cook Off.  Actually, it was the 3rd of July but who cared?   It was cloudy and occasionally raining but that didn’t matter.  We were with family and ready to have some fun.  There were the “kids”, Tim & Steph; grandkids (Nicole, Timmy . . . → Read More: The Great Texas Chili Cook Off

Why can’t a woman be more like a man?

The Pilot is gasping in awe, almost out of breath, and shouting “woo-hoo’s” at a video that he received via email from a friend.  It shows an airplane doing a treacherous landing.  He wants me to look at it. 

I tell him that if it shows something crashing or is violent to bypass me.
