Ed Joins the 21st Century
15 March 2008About 10 years after they hit the market, I got my first CD player, and this week, I came home with my first MP3 player. My MP3 CDs are getting a bit worn out, and rather than re-burn them, I thought that an MP3 device would be a good choice. I can use this in […]
Greenbergs have left the building!
29 February 2008Well, that’s it. We turned in the keys today. We are now officially homeless (?)
The dump got over 6,000 pounds (three TONS) ofjunk. Hats off to Cheap Hauling, for hauling the stuff away.
We’ll be here in Santa Clara Elks for the weekend, then back to Morgan Hill TTN for a few weeks.
Morgan Hill, CA
24 January 2008Since leaving Monterey, we’ve been in Morgan Hill. We’re clearing out our apartment, preparatory to going full time in the trailer. So far, I’ve packed and donated eight boxes of books and moved a bunch of stuff to the trailer.
I have two restaurant recommendations to post:
Cafe San Jose, 1583 Meridian Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125. […]
R V having fun yet?
12 January 2008Sorry to have missed a week of travel. I thought I had posted from our previous stop, but I see I did not. I have a few mailing lists that receive postings as we travel, and sometimes I forget what we post where.
The weekend in Santa Barbara was very good, if soggy. We celebrated Shabbos, […]
We are still above water!
5 January 2008On Thursday night, after Encounters, we went back to our trailer at the Westchester Elks Lodge, expecting it to start raining. We were surprised when it didn’t.
Encounters is an interesting experience. It is supposed to feel like you are dining in a flying saucer, floating above LAX. In fact, the food and service were quite […]
Lots of stuff
31 August 2007First, a tip of the customer service hat to Sonny’s RV, which got me into the shop and fixed my jacks and my leak.
Second, a doff of the hat to Bellew’s Hitch in Tacoma for a fine job on hitch and mirrors.
In other news, we moved again… from Escapees Evergreen Coho Park over to the […]
Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad
27 August 2007We took a ride on the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad. This small tourist railroad runs on old Milwaukee Road tracks from Elbe, WA to Morton, WA. We rode a train of three passenger cars pulled by #17, built in 1929. They sell cab rides. Shown below are the customers boarding the cab of the […]
Bob Franke at the Matrix Coffee House
12 August 2007We fell in on acoustic music last night. The Matrix Coffeehouse, a local venue here in Chehalis, WA, had Bob Franke in for a concert.
Bob is a singer-songwriter that I’ve heard on XM Radio a bunch. He did about 15 songs in two sets including “Hard Love” and “Alleluia, the Great Storm is Over.” Also, […]
My Linux Laptop
3 June 2007I got a question today about my Linux laptop, so I decided to write about it here. About six months ago, I got a Dell Latitude D820 with a Dual Core 2.3GHz processor. It has 2 GB memory and an 80 GB SATA disk, turning at 7200 RPM. It also has the NVIDIA premium video, […]
RV Solar Electric
3 June 2007A tip of the hat to RV Solar Electric. I called Dave Kirkby because my solar panel charge controller fried itself. Note that he did not sell me this controller, though he did sell and install the original system.
Dave recommended a replacement charge controller for me. A Xantrex C35. He charged me $100 even, plus […]
