Anybody have any tips or advice? This is my first time experiencing it. Was rough housing with my two youngest kids when I felt a sharp pain in my back and it shot down my left leg. Back has gotten a little better but leg is in absolute pain. Been pretty much stuck in a recliner ever since. This...

My motorhome has a solar panel on top and this pictured controller. I know nothing else about this system. No other information came with the RV when I purchased it. This is the main screen of the controller. There are other menu options but it pretty much defaults to this. What do the numbers...

I did it briefly. The commute at the time was about 8 miles. I enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed climate control. Ended up buying a Chevy Sonic as a commuter car and preferred it more. Now the commute is 25 miles one way and I think about it occasionally now that I drive my Jeep to work. Andrew

Kids were on spring break last week so we did some local camping at Rancho Jurupa. Attempted to catch some trout with no luck. Youngest daughter broke her wrist riding her scooter. She went to urgent care, got it reset, soft casted and wanted to come back camping. She’s a pretty tough kid...

Now that I’m a position that I don’t work any OT, I’m gonna boot my lawn guy and start doing it myself. Been about 7 years since I was in the game. Should I look into the electric powered units? Looking for mower and weed whacker. How’s run time? How many cuts can I get before I have replace the...

Good weekend out in Glamis. Took a couple first timers out there. Always cool to see their reaction to the place.

Went to Joshua Tree NP the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Not a sole in sight on the trails we went on. Only two pics I took of the trip. Had my 16 year old daughter driving on some pretty difficult (IMO) trails. She and I loved it. Wife in the backseat, not so much!

Will we see less crowds this season? October is when the season usually kicks off. Everything is more expensive. Gas is over $1.00 per gallon more than October 2021. groceries are higher. People have stopped going out to save as much money as they can. I’m not talking the hardcore duners like...

Got home last night from an Alaskan Fishing Lodge Trip. Caught lots of fish and had lots of weather.

Just finished up a 2 week trip through California, Oregon, and Washington.  Went to Yosemite NP, Lassen Volcanic NP, Mt. St. Helen NM, Mt. Rainier NP, North Cascades NP, and Olympic NP with several stop along the way. Just over 3,000 miles was logged in on the motorhome and just under 1,000 on...

Last day of our summer trip. Went to the aquarium in Monterey Bay with the kids. Heading home tomorrow.  Been on the road for weeks. Looking forward to my own bed. 

We have a bunch of these. They suck. Used to be built better but the last two or three we’ve bought don’t last. I know. You get what you pay for at $20 but at least last a season. 

2 week family vacation up through California, Oregon and Washington. 

Daughter’s team took 1st in the end of season  softball tournament. Having cake and ice cream for 3 of my children tonight. Birthdays all fall within a week of each other. Tomorrow, doing some odds and ends around the house and then a BBQ for Mother’s Day. 

Got a weekend break of softball and baseball so we’re camping at South Carlsbad State Park.   

It’s a tight fit. For starters, it’s a 2011 RZR 4 so it’s not the behemoth wheel bases they have now. You can see it parked behind my son in the pic. Up front sideways is a Honda 250r. Then the RZR and LT80 right behind that longways, then my daughters 250ex and my sons 400ex. Here’s a pic a few...
