A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

Richard, I am so sorry you are going through all this. Hopefully the doctors can get a handle on your problems and plot a course of treatment that will be beneficial to you.
I sold Phaeton Place yesterday. It has been my mission since I arrived back in Florida to get her emptied and cleaned inside and out and sold. She is too much coach for me and while I had no problems handling the driving, etc., we all know that is only a small part of RVing. Towing was too problematic with my arthritic hands and I don't want to tow anymore. I had one person who strung me along with buying it. He wanted it delivered 2 hours away. . . just a lot of stupid delays. They did come look at it and paid to have it inspected, but I finally told them to get lost. Another man had contacted me. He drove down from Alabama over the weekend and yesterday morning did a walk through and had the $$ wire to my account. That went very smoothly and in the afternoon, I helped him get the coach and his toad over to a local campground 4 miles away so he could regroup. He brought his own towbar because mine didn't match up to his baseplate. He came totally prepared to get everything ready. Such a difference. He is very happy with the coach and has a friend who is a CAT mechanic who will do the maintenance on the engine. It seemed like a match made in heaven. I am keeping MinnieMee for now, but my intention is to sell or trade her for something like a Leisure Travel Van. I won't be towing, still RVing, and will be able to drive to Indiana to visit Mom in comfort whenever this Covid stuff is gone.
I cried when I drove her the last time, but I told my son, that was better than crying because she didn't sell. LOL She drives like a dream and I'm sure the buyer will enjoy her for several years. I threw in a lot of freebies: water softener, 30' 50A extension cord, Patriot Brake, water filters, macerator, macerator hose, spare tire, hoses, etc. But he gave me $5000 more than the other guy offered and I have no use for those items. Don't need the money I might get from them at a yard sale, so I just kept throwing things in. I have no regrets. From when I got back to Florida, I got her cleaned out and sold in six weeks. I couldn't be happier. . . unless I still had my copilot!
Blessings to all. Stay healthy and covid free!
