Joining the ranks

OP: In 16 days you began full-timing and are now back to work? You've set a record man!!!! Enjoy!!

Congrats on getting on the road and finding a patch of earth that makes you happy. Thanks for checking in.

I've been on the road since 1/1/17. I stayed at the rest stop just past Raton pass the first night. Stayed in Albuquerque the next to pick up a 435w panel and then went to the Bosque bird watchers RV park for dewinterizing after that. Decided to stay a few nights to decompress and then a few more just because I have never had full hook ups.

While there the owner told me he wanted to sell the place and travel. I told him any number of people would trade a site to take care of the place. As I was getting ready to leave I stopped to tell him I was going and he made me a offer I couldn't refuse. I return after the beginning of the month to take over the place in a well paid position. So much for retirement. lol

Right now I am in Quartzsite to attend two rallys where I will give a talk about solar cooking.

The market here is as hot as ever so it's a good time to get out. I'll be pulling out in the dead of winter so it will be a even better time to get out. lol

One thing I have to work out is water. I can de-winterize it and blow it dry. That way I could fill the fresh tank before I leave and wait till it's warm enough to fill the lines and the hot water heater.

Enjoy it. We FT'd for 8 years and got back into a house. Thinking about doing it again now that real estate has gotten crazy here again. I miss many parts of the lifestyle.

Good luck, Jim. I'm glad you are able to get out and enjoy.

Thank you. It does suck, I started my company 30 years ago, then again after 30 years I am kinda glad someone else pulled the plug.

Now for more packing, more packing and yes, more packing. :)

Jim congrats on the retirement sorry to hear its forced but I am sure you will enjoy it. I have been retired for 5 years and loved every minute of it

We will be starting in January also. I am just about ready now, but we want to stay here for the holidays.

Enjoy your new lifestyle. I'm sure it will be a great adventure. :C
