Sometimes life throws you curve balls and you have to make a 90 deg course change. That happened just about 3 weeks ago. The wife went to work as usual. At 3:30 in the aft they called her into the Mgmr's office and handed her a letter. This letter terminated her 15 yr employment with the company and she had 5 minutes to gather her stuff and leave the building. There was no cause (on my wife's part) for her termination. Twenty-Nine others got it as well. She was the only one of the mgmt team to be terminated. This, as you can imagine, accelerated our retirement plan for her by 18 months. We immediately started searching for a used RV. There's no way in hell I'm going to let us sit here on the couch and rot till we die. We found a cream puff RV.
It's a '94 Regal/Triple E, 29'. 80,000 kms (50,000 mi). We're the third owners. Everything works like a charm except the generator was removed a few years ago for service and never put back in. Not a big deal. We named the RV 'Meander' (Me and her). Everything and everybody gets a name!
I fabri-cobbled a drawer to hold our lil' Honda.
7" Magellan GPS and backup camera installed today. Apologize for the crappy pic.
I know this is like turning to the Dark Side of the Force but it's gotta get us outta here for awhile. Our first Grandson is 3500 kms away in Grande Prairie Alberta and we'll be there for his first birthday in early October.
The boat project will take a definite back seat for awhile. It wasn't going well this year anyways. Every time the shed would dry up enough the clouds would open up again and I'd get flooded back out. Hard to level the boat when that happens. Didn't know we had a Monsoon season up here! *Sigh*
I'm still tinkering on the boat from time to time. The engine isn't back from service on the fuel injector pump yet. I dread getting that bill. I will, God permitting, get the engine set in the boat this year.
So there you have it, for those that were curious what we've been up to.
Cheers mates. Keep on building!
