Sounds just right , Rick .
A couple more days of this desert heat and we'll be heading for higher elevation .

Post by: Eitek1 on April 11, 2018, 11:43:26 AM: Absolutely beautiful. It's about 73 degrees with a light breeze and low humidity which is pretty rare here.

In a month or two it's going to be 100 degrees with 90% humidity. When it gets like that, everyone sweats non-stop. Just a fact of life here.

Post by: pd on April 21, 2018, 11:10:09 AM: Currently it's 70° here in Benson , Arizona .
Predicted to reach the low 80s this afternoon under clear Sunny skies .

We're just about 3,000 feet higher we were in Why , Az .
Tuesday , we plan on heading toward Deming , New Mexico for while .
That's about another thousand feet higher and a bit cooler . ;)

Post by: pd on May 09, 2018, 03:19:42 PM: We've found a neat little park in Oasis , New Mexico .
I think Spring has arrived . It's just a little warm : currently it's 102° , Sunny , 4% Humidity with an 8 MPH breeze . It's due to cool to the lower 80s this weekend . That will be be comfortable with the low humidity . Still , the sun is hotter , directly , than Michigan .

Here's what we see looking out or dining room window :

And , the money shot . Proof that a motor home can get stuck in the mud . This was taken about 8 years ago .
Obviously , we waited too long or not long enough . We caught the Spring thaw just right .
Once off the frost patch the wheels were on it sunk to the axles . We tore the yard up so much that that portion of the lawn became an addition to the field behind .

I’m with you. We just stayed at the Henderson Park Inn in Destin last month, and that is living the high life! I love the Redneck Riviera.

Bill, any chance you are coming to Portland this summer?

Pete, is that diesel?

Bill ,

Ha . That mud run was a one time 'event' , I hope never to repeat .
And , the Monaco is better than a 5 star hotel . I very much like sleeping in my own bed every night .

Rick ,

It's a gasser ( 9 - 10 MPG ) . The chassis is Ford with a 6.8L V10 310HP motor . All aluminum exterior , but for the fiberglass end caps .

I find it amazing that winter can follow us this far South .
There's snow and ice , with temps to single digits . :(
Hopefully , that has hit it's low and the weather will start returning to something close to average .
Currently :
25° with a 10 MPH wind .
Average : 67° ...

My poor Simplex is out there literally frozen . :'(

Tom ,

We're in south east Texas . About 85 miles east of San Antonio .
And , yes , the Simplex is here , too .
Been working on it , prior to the big freeze .
Looks like it may start warming a bit , thankfully . Maybe a few more days before I can resume my efforts .
I really do miss having a shop to mess around in .

Post by: Ricks on February 17, 2021, 05:16:41 PM: Pete, how long have you been living out of an RV? I couldn’t do that full time, I’d miss my shop too much.

Post by: pd on February 18, 2021, 06:32:50 AM: Rick ,

We've been full time for 10 years .
Other than a shop , I'm happy .
