Christmas Lights

Time to shine!

Time to Go Back

Our week is up, it’s time to go back to Tampa.  Until next time!

Our Backyard

If you sit in one of our backyard chairs and look up, this is what you see.

Blue Ridge Parkway

Now I know why it’s called Blue Ridge.

Spending the week at The Cabin

We spent the week at our “cabin” in North Carolina.  Temperatures fell to the low 40s at night!  We absolutely love it there. Max likes it too.

We Can Bake

We have a gas oven.  Now we can bake stuff, like bread.

Bird & Bones

Bird & Bones is a BBQ food truck that parks some Saturdays on Highway 60.  The best brisket in town.

New Stronger Steps

I added new Moreryde steps with handrails to replace the fold down steps.  Big improvement!

Our New Home

...away from home.

Moving Day

Today is moving day.  We move all our stuff from our Airstream into our new Cottage.

New Location

GPS Tracker

So the dealer sent someone to pickup my Airstream today.  I was at work, so I couldn’t meet them. But I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to test out my Spot Trace tracker.

It works. 

Even Better Things

So we’re hanging up the hitch for the stationary lifestyle.  Say hello to our new ranch dwelling.  It is a Forest River Cedar Creek Cottage 40CCK.

All Good Things...

Well, it looks like we’re hanging up the hitch.  We put a deposit on a new cottage trailer to replace our Airstream. 

We have thoroughly enjoyed the last 3.5 years of Airstream ownership.  We were extremely satisfied with our purchase.  The quality of the Airstream is unmatched. 

However, our plans changed, and being on the road is not part of them.  We found a quaint little spot we love spending all our free time at, and a cottage trailer works better for us. 

I want to give a great big THANK YOU to all the folks who welcomed us here and helped us through our journey.  Our journey will continue in a different form, and not in an Airstream.  But my wife and I will always cherish the great memories we made while owning our Airstream. 

We wish all of you great journeys and memories in your Airstreams.

Dodged the Bullet

Looking Better

Feels like 100

Turn Dorian Turn

We’re still in the cone but Dorian seems to be turning...

Watching Dorian

5pm update: If it keeps shifting east, our Airstream will be in the clear!

Somebody Got Left Behind

Upgraded Grill

After 3 years my Charbroil grill was looking like it had seen better days.  I wanted another Charbroil grill, but my wife was in the mood to spend money and got me this Weber grill.  We ate good today!

Relaxing

The wife did some yard cleaning and put what she took out front for pickup.  I supervised.

Wax On Wax Off

Time to get the Airstream waxed.

Great Eats This Weekend

There’s a guy with a BBQ business called Bird and Bones.  He sets up a mobile smoker on Highway 60 on some weekends.  The best brisket I have ever had.

Guarding the Brush

For all the times I go off road in my golf cart (never) I installed a brush guard to guard the brush.  I think.

Airstreams in Da House

A Bambi and a Nest were camping in the Westgate field next to our park.

Eats at the Airstream

Skirt steak with BBQ Guava sauce, breadfruit fritters, and Spanish sausage rice with pigeon peas.

Visiting Aistreams!

We had two Aistreams and one Nest visit us this weekend.

Happy Birthday America!

Happy 243rd Birthday!

Daddy Got New Shoes

New off-road tires for the golf cart.

Visiting the Cabin

This week we are visiting our cabin in North Carolina.  We were planning on fixing the place up to bring the Airstream (eventually), but we are enjoying it as is.  We have a few years to figure it out.

All is well with the world

The Airstream is back at the Ranch, and all is well with the world.

Excellent Service

I recently had our Airstream serviced at Airstream of Tampa, and they did a fantastic job.

How hot can it get?

Pimp My Ride

Since I’m in the pimping mood, I also ordered new bucket seats for the golf cart.
