BTW, another member asked what this drivel this has to do with being "On the Road?"
Very little, actually.
I just figured I'm doing a big favour for the mods. Instead of leaving my "road apples" all over the forum, I'd keep them all together....like.

Keep it coming. There has to be something in the way of entertainment on this site or we will all go to the "house of depression".
And you have included a mention of 'Airstream or trailer' in almost every thread. And "On the Road" trying to avoid those apples is what we are all involved in from start to finish.
Did you get that lock opened?

Yes, after a struggle.
It would appear that the FaN can't even stand me now: "You never take me anywhere or buy me anything anymore. All I'm good for is the bed. I feel used."
So, she locked me out.

"On the Dike" Today
Sixty-five years ago much of the Fraser Valley was under water when the Fraser River crested during the big Spring melt of 1948.
After that, an extensive canal and diking system was built. They not only serve an important purpose, but are also used as exercise paths for people, dogs, and horses.
You can see for miles and miles....
Cranberry fields forever.......
Pristine Mt. Baker, but she still considered an active volcano. I hope she never blows......

On the Driveway #6 - Revelation!
Some of my friends think I should write an Airstream-themed cookbook. I've decided to go for it!
Right now I am toying with a few titles. How about....
- The Canadian Frump Cooks in a New American Beauty?
- Drive, Park, Eat, Love, Fart?
Or...in keeping with today's news from the Vatican....

On the Driveway #7 - The Bodyguard
ahhh, Spring. The warming of the earth. The greening of the bud. The anticipation of new awakenings and discoveries......and a hired gun.
Since the Canadian government took our guns away, I am loathe to travel to the United States unarmed.
So, am thinking of picking up a hired gun in Seattle before venturing down the snowbird trail next winter. I would feel better with this kind of arrangement in place.
I have already sent a request to a security company in Seattle. I also asked that the candidate be a non-drinker and smoker, reasonably intelligent, and able to drive a truck and trailer when required. I will provide the meals and sleeping accomodation, i.e. the fold-down dinette at the back of the trailer. I will be in the front bedroom.
After arriving at our destination, the hired gun will be provided with a return airline ticket to Seattle.
I wonder what the cost will be? It will be interesting to receive their quote.
Praise the open road.....
and pass the ammunition?

Hi, I'm obviously not you, but I find this entirely un-necessary. Bring a large can of Bear Spray if you feel in-secure, or unsafe. Or bring a friend with you to share the experience of Airstream travel.

Thanks to the proliferation of splatter-flicks masquerading as horror movies, I find a chainsaw to be a very intimidating self-defense weapon, and perfectly legal to carry in your Airstream.

And by "someone" I mean Fly at Night, to forestall any confusion.

Sorry? What do you mean by fishing?
I am dead serious - no pun intended. I have thought of a caravan, but my work being what it is, I have to grab a departure date when I can. Caravans are usually planned well in advance.
As far as friends and relatives go, they are likewise occupied, or I just do not want to travel with them.
I can understand why some may think this request is off-the-wall, but in my mind it is a rational and plausible solution, spurned by some ominious premonitions.
The request I sent to a security firm in Seattle was a month ago. They have not replied. Did they think I was bluffing? Regardless, they could have had the decency to reply.
