From the last post, I did finish the small landscaping job of redoing my flower beds and upgrading a couple of others. Took me a weekend and a couple days after work, so that was completed before the weekend. Not what I could call enjoyable but looks nice.
I have a couple of new people interested in buying my house, but they are not sure about my small town. Basically all I have to do is let them know it's for sale. For me, that seems like a hard trigger to pull. I'm not sure why because I have sold my Z4 sports car, my Toyota 4Runner, gave away a lot of clothes and appliances that I no longer used or wanted. I am basically down to just the bare essentials and even some of that can be either stored or sold when I decide to leave.
Maintaining a home is more work now, whereas years ago it was fun ... something I enjoyed. That is a sure sign to me that I need to sell and change location. I don't mind the hot weather but not a fan of the humidity. I know I would enjoy living back out west, warm in the winter and up in the mountains or northern states in the summer. I have lived in Washington, Colorado, California in the past and have traveled through most of the states by car, bicycle or train. Really have no desire to go east of Indiana nor south.
I am meeting up with a friend and his wife July 4th weekend that has a 36' Class A Monaco. It will be a short visit but an informative one. Steve and I went grew up together. They have a couple of years before he retires and they RV full-time, but they do a lot of traveling in their Monaco and through the years have used every type of camper/motorhome there is as far as types and classes.
Needless to say, we have discussed a lot of RV information over the phone.
That is about all I can update. I read my blog list daily, have learned a lot from them, enjoy your great pictures of where you have been or where you are at. Yes, I have the urge to leave.
Even the RV maintenance stories from the blogs I read are quite interesting. Yet, I have two maintenance things possibly on the horizon ... a fridge is acting weird and central air conditioning screaming for a new unit.
So ... "it's a money pit" seems appropriate for both homes on land or on wheels.
Just to rub it in a bit Steve, I'm in New Mexico at 4,500 foot elevation. Today's temperature was 99, but the humidity was 1% and the overnight low will be in the 50's, good sleeping weather. Come join us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the rub. I have a friend living in Alamogordo NM, about the same elevation. That is what I like about that SW area, hot temps, low humidity and cool evenings. Hitting the road seems to be all I think about again, so it must be getting close to happening.
ReplyDeleteAnd just to rub it in a litle more, I'm in Lakeside, AZ at 7,000 feet. Today's temperature was 90, and no humidity and over night 49.
