Our neighbors and good friends had a fire in their RV refrigerator the other day. Fortunately they were home and caught it before it did any major damage to their coach. I’ve been meaning to write a piece on RV fridges and fires for a long time. 80 % of RV fires start at the…

Ballad Of The Black Plastic Cowboy Hat
There must have been some magic in that black plastic had they found. For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around. Yehaw! Words by Jason Vanstone, Music by Frosty the Snowman It’s a whole new experience learning to wear a fine Stetson-like hat like the one you see on the…
Continental Divide
Forgive me Western Canada, the Western USA and especially Alberta, Arizona, Montana and Texas. At first I thought this was all a joke, but today I was presented with my very own cheap Black Pastic Cowboy Hat to wear during the Sicard RV Open House Sale where we “Round em up, and Move em out”…
All About Nothing
In my last post I was whining about the weather. Mother Nature had snuck in when we least expected and served up hopefully one last dose of winter winds and temperatures, just so we all would remember who is really in charge. OK Mom, I surrender. You make the rules. Yesterday we are out for a…
Today’s Weather Forecast: Crappy
My buddy George calls them Awsome. I call everyday Amazing. Today is one of those days you need to search for the awsome and send out a whole search party for the amazing because you aren’t going to find it in the weather.. The forecast calls for near freezing cold, strong winds, rain, and snow…
An Old Joke?

There was one in there the other day about how a wife takes her hubby to an Antique store only to have him disappear. Later she finds him…
True Love Ways
When we last talked we were fasting, waiting not so patiently for our 9:30 medical appointments. We parted company at the stairs you see above. We hugged, promised to stay in touch and said our goodbyes, then Marilyn went down stairs to her appointment, I went upstairs to mine. Sometime later we joyfully rendezvoused at a…
Grumpy and Hungry
Both Marilyn and I are working extremely hard this morning at just being cheerful and helpful. Neither one of us wants to disturb the other because we both know that on this particular morning any minor disturbance could be disastrous. It would be a crying shame to blow a happy almost 32 years of marriage over one measly…
Change Is In The Air
If I had taken this picture yesterday all you would have seen was a motor home behind some sticks pointed at the sky. Today it’s a picture of spring. We’ve been flirting with this season since February and Arizona. Now it’s here in southern Ontario. Fortunately so are we because I love spring. It is…
