Introduce Yourself!

Hi folks, I'm an oldtimer from a long, long time ago from RV.net who just recently discovered that RV.net has moved over here, more or less. I was part of the NW Rally group and have been trying to find the members of that again but most of you don't seem to be here any more. Does anyone know what happened to Tradewinds (the original) or Bigdog (also the original)?   I finally bit the bullet and bought a 2019 Coachmen Mirada 32SS last month and have already put 3K miles on it. I never thought I'd give up that old Nomad trailer but here we are. Besides, she was so old, she was nearly old enough to drink and the Suburban I pulled it with hot on her heels. I still have both vehicles but I reserve those for Burning Man nowadays. There's NO way I'm taking this Mirada to Burning Man.  😄

So, if you remember who I was back then, we're out of the farming business (I raised sheep for forever) and are looking to part-time in our new rig. I never thought you could blast me away from the farm but here we are. Anyone going to Quartzsite this year? We're considering going.

To the rest of you, hi, I'm the Laura half of TomNLauraWA and live in western Washington on my soon-to-be-completely-shut-down farm. Tom doesn't post on here although he might someday. I'm a retired environmental chemist and he's a semi-retired software developer. We have a couple of cats who don't travel with us due to age or being semi-feral, I like to sew and do needlepoint (my drug of choice), and both of us enjoy longbow/recurve archery. I am very much into horses and finally lost my ancient 34 year old this past January (23) so I'm out of the horse business. I still have chickens and turkeys so my farm isn't shut down just yet. Both of us love to read and listen to music, and Tom likes going to the movies. Tom works at Burning Man (there's no way we'd go except for getting paid to do so) so we go to that every year. It gets amusing to watch all the different people there.

So, that's me/us in a nutshell.
