Nice and private in the fenced yard!

With a very cool 90s playlist playing on Pandora. ("Like a Stone" radio if you are interested)

Did it for 11 months in Vancouver, BC in a 14' Shasta. From October of '91 until September '92. And yes it does snow in Vancouver.

I do too, but not in an Airstream... Got my little glass/jewelry studio 15 feet from my front door, and the kennel is a 30 second commute. Free WiFi, but I pay the utilities. Farm land across the road and woods behind me. Love it

Camping on the job site does save a lot of commuting. One time when I was supporting air-ground flight tests in the desert out north of Nellis AFB I wished I had the Airstream with me. As it was, I was driving 100 - 150 miles from the motel to our station every morning and the same distance back every night.

What kinda work are you doing when you're not chillin'?

I run a moving company that services Fort Bliss and White Sands MR.

I am in the middle of a big project that must be done before the first of the year.

Work? I love work!

I could watch it all day long, but I've become a retirement specialist. Work is none of my business!

The bad thing about retiring is that it's very hard to take a day off....

Yeah, I'm rubbing it in a bit, but I'd rather be working..,

No, it's trying to figure out what day it is. And that's the only bad thing.

I spend half the year on road working and living in Eirstream, home now, hard to make adjustment. I love being in my Bambi

By the end of this trip we will be right at 180 days one way or the other.

It has been fun!
