Working the dream life for 17+ years.
For the past couple nights we’ve been staying hitched to our fifth wheel trailer when spending just one night in RV resorts. We’ve researched this online and only found this one forum discussion about staying hitched that addressed the issue specifically. It confirmed my assumption that it will do no harm to the truck. I do, however, raise the trailer a bit more than the …

One bit of advice that I just learned the hard way: when you’re traveling, listen to your body and take care of yourself immediately if you suspect something is wrong. It’s easy to brush off symptoms of some kind of illness when you’re out on an adventure like this and having fun, but ultimately if you ignore what your body is trying to tell you, …
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 …
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 …

Went to a networking mixer sponsored by the Redwood Technology Consortium at the Sea Grill Restaurant in Eureka last night. It was one of the funnest affairs the group’s ever put on. Mmmmm, good food. And someone made a great use of old floppy disk labels…we used them as name badges. How geeky is that?! We’ve been involved with the RTC since we moved here …
This morning I awoke to a gnarly rain and wind storm. The lights flickered all morning, but nothing went out. Meanwhile all across the county, power lines were dropping like flies. One of the perks about living here is that despite our wild winter weather in Humboldt, the power always stays on in our building. What makes us special? Well, we are on the same …
I just love this time of year in Eureka… Throughout February and March, literally tens of thousands of once endangered Aleutian Geese stop by on their migration back North to Alaska. I understand the annual Morning Fly-Off at the the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge is quite a sight to see as flock after flock take flight from the grassy fields. While I have not …
