I wasn’t going to do a year-in-review post this year, because no one ever reads these posts. Well, besides me. I suffer from a medical malady called CRS, so these posts do a yeoman’s job of summarizing our debacles during the previous twelve months. My guess is we stuck our toes in about 25-30 states… Read More 2025 in Review – Dec 2025
Heading west again. Truth is, when you live in New Hampshire, it’s hard to go east. Alas, we are making our way out west for several activities over the next few months that should be awesome. At the time of this writing, the government has not closed, and hopefully it won’t, but we will deal… Read More Heading West – Sept 2025
Another notch in the belt of spending our kids’ inheritance… we recently arrived for the coveted Airstream service appointment at the Airstream factory in Jackson Center, OH. I delight in explaining to people that over the years we have almost single handedly paid for their new manufacturing facilities. And as you might expect, this place… Read More Airstream Service – May 2023
I have posted several “heading west” blog posts over the years. But the truth of the matter is that if you live on the east coast, you inevitably need to, well, head west. I suppose you could go north or south, but really – who does that. Crazy talk. We headed west from New Hampshire… Read More Heading West – Sept 2020
She thinks my tractor’s sexy. Those were the lyrics I was thinking about as I started to write this post. What can I tell you. So I said this post was about Ohio. I lied a little bit. This trip started in Romeo, Michigan, where I went to the manufacturing location for the Hensley Hitch… Read More Ohio – Nov 2017
The ‘60’s and ‘70’s was a unique period in this country – captured in its politics, war, art, resistance, culture, and arguably most notably, its music. This renaissance in music during this time (and beyond!) is captured at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rock and roll hardly dried up after the ‘70’s, so… Read More Long Live Rock – Nov 2017
Week 2… Wanda is looking like a trailer again! If you remember, last week the trailer and surroundings looked like this. After having the trailer gutted of everything but the shower stall, repairs have been made to the subflooring, new flooring is in, and fixtures have been reinstalled. This is a monumental amount of work… Read More Airstream Makeover part 2 – Nov 2016
If you’ve ever owned a home, a boat, a pool or a lawn mower, you know from time to time they need work. Trailers, even Airstreams, are no exception. I am here at the Airstream Service Center in Jackson Center, OH. Upon arrival at the terra port, I was greeted by this sorry looking fellow… Read More Airstream Makeover part 1 – Nov 2016
Needing to bring our Airstream in for service at the Airstream “mother ship” in Jackson Center, OH and pulling into the Terraport (campsites at the factory), who greets me but friends Terry, Annie and Joe! We open a cold beer, set up Thor – Cauldron of Death for a campfire, and relax. And, we met… Read More A Week in Ohio – Sept 2015
