Anti-Bodies – The Battle In My Camper
One of the only things I don’t like about camping, and one of the many reasons I’m not an outdoors person and won’t sleep outside, is bugs. I hate bugs, all bugs. I know they are a part of nature and one of God’s creatures and all that but it doesn’t matter, I still hate [...]
Oh Great, The Laptop Is Taking A Vacation Too
I haven’t had the best of luck over the last couple of days with my laptop. No, I’m not talking about the internet connection up here in the mountains being slower then my Mom’s driving. First the battery apparently sort of exploded and is now pushing the compartment door open. My Dad said he’d heard [...]
How Do You Define Camping?
Lots of people that camp enjoy being close to nature. Not me. I am not really the outdoors type of person. have never had the desire to sleep outdoors or in a tent. I have no yen to sleep on the ground. When I camp I camp it’s in a camper. I’m currently on our [...]
Winterizing – Learning From The Past
I reminded my Dad yesterday that we still need to winterize our campers, particularly considering the fact that winter is here. I have a travel trailer that we got at a great deal, we pull it behind my truck. Two of the things I like best about this type of camper over a motor home [...]
What My Son Ate On His Camping Trip And Our Trip To The Hospital
My son TJ went on his first camping trip this weekend. He returned home early this evening looking tired. I was in another room when he came in. He headed straight for his room to check his cell phone so I didn’t get a look at him. It was only after he checked his cell [...]
Why The Rained Out Race Wasn’t A Wash Out
My family and I have been on our annual camping trip in upstate New York. Each year we go to the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen. Today’s race never started. They had introduced the drivers and sung the anthems and were getting ready to start the race when bad weather set in. Now for anyone [...]
Preparing For Our Inaugural Voyage
Next week we go on our annual family vacation. Every year we go camping in upstate New York and attend the Nascar race. If you’re a regular reader you know that we got a larger travel trailer recently. This will be our inaugural voyage with it. Dad and I made a quick list of things I [...]
Heads Or Tails 96
This weeks game is TAILS – “Summertime memory”. One of my favorite summertime memories is from a camping trip taken several years ago. It was during early August, on a family camping trip to Watkins Glen NY. We camp there every year. We were all sitting outside – myself, RB, CJ, my Dad, my Mom [...]
Heads Or Tails 93
This week’s Heads or Tails prompt is heads – motion. Because it’s heads or tails we’re writing about anything that has motion or moves or has movement. We go camping every year. We retired our tiny travel trailer last year because it was so small I hated the sight of it, never mind being in [...]
Travel trailer insurance
As previously mentioned, even before this last trip, I’ve been thinking about getting a larger travel trailer. I was surprised to learn in speaking with my Dad this past weekend that I wouldn’t have to put insurance on a travel trailer if I bought one, it would be covered under my car insurance. I was [...]
Home from Watkins Glen and a paint update
Well we made it home a short while ago. Yes, for anyone wondering, we did bring the giant hunk of junk trailer home with us. I noticed when we started unpacking it that the microwave had come loose and had gone cockeyed in its frame. A few more winding roads and it probably would’ve flown [...]
Even DIY Electric couldn’t help us
We’d found out earlier yesterday that the refrigerator wasn’t working, but we were making do. I didn’t buy anything that had to be kept cold except a pound of sliced colby jack cheese that I love and can’t get at home. I kept that in the refrigerator of my parents’ motor home. I went to [...]
Trip off to a rough start
We arrived in Watkins Glen, NY in the wee hours this morning. We got a rough start yesterday. We had been driving down the road and I saw something fluttering in my right mirror. The outer skin of the trailer door had lifted. I called my Dad on the cell and before I could even [...]
