Permanent Weekend

September 4, 2023June 15, 2007 by Jim

The reality of this trip still hasn’t sunk in yet. With today’s news from the mortgage folks, we are one step closer to being free but not quite yet clear.

I felt a bit strange today telling one of my campground neighbors, “have a good weekend” knowing very well that he was indeed out for a weekend adventure with the kids while I was off on a new adventure that may last a year. Or years.

While camper dad will return to work on Monday, I will be dealing with the repair of our new trailer’s refrigerator at the nearest RV service center to Lake Francis in Dobbins, CA. Unfortunately that’s in Marysville or Yuba City.

But as Whitman said, “These are the things that must happen to you.”

The waiting is the hardest part.

She has strongly given us the impression that she is totally confident to run this show and is ready for us to move on. Our premiere clients must be getting taken …

If you’re the entrepreneurial type, by all means, start up a business and grow it with a solid exit strategy in mind.

If you ever get the inclination to sell your home and hit the road for a sabbatical or change of life, just do it. Do it …

Day Two

What a trip! And it’s just begun…

We enjoyed the first night in our new mobile home and drove another ninety minutes to another Premier RV Resort in Eugene Oregon. So far the trip has gone off without a hitch.

Well, not quite. We couldn’t have even made it off the lot without our new Pullrite Superglide Fifth Wheel Hitch. Having never towed anything before in my life, I was a little concerned about pulling a huge trailer. I hadn’t even really gotten used to the size of our new Dodge Ram 2500 yet… But this hitch made it simple! (Read on to see the video that confirmed my decision!)

Truth be told…

OK, I might’ve jumped the gun a bit with that last post. Needles to say, we’re just a bit excited. The truth is: We’re currently working our way back to Eureka with our new Fifth Wheel trailer to wrap up the sale of our graphic design and production business – Marcom And POP. We have sold our home based business (and home) and plan to …

And… We’re off!

Well, almost. If you can still see the counter ticking down above, you’ll notice we still haven’t quite moved on to the next big thing … more about that later. For now, suffice it to say we have just begun what is sure to become a great adventure. And so far, so good! We just picked up our new Arctic Fox 24-5N fifth wheel trailer …
