12 October 2007
Not a whole lot going on lately. We took down the Sukkah and came home. The trailer is in the shop for routine work. We continue to drag things out to the dumpster while planning our exit from this apartment.
All quiet on the western front.
Booth Dwelling, in theory and practice
28 September 2007Well, we had a wonderful Wedndsday night (first night of Sukkos) dinner in the Sukkah. Like 90% of the Jewish population, we had chicken. The other ten percent had brisket. It is very cozy, with a Sukkah that is 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) on a side. A table in the corner, two chairs at right […]
And Ye Shall Dwell in Booths
26 September 2007The Bible tells us that “You shall live in booths seven days; all citizens in Israel shall live in booths, in order that future generations may know that I made the Israelite people live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt” (Lev. 23:42-43). This is a part of Succot, […]
Made It Home
14 September 2007Well, we made it home, after a four day and 800 mile marathon. I suppose we could have done it in three days, but we don’t have the endurance on the road. We started early, then we ended early. I was also able to get some work done on those days.
I Haven’t Been to Boston, but I May Have Gotten Scrod
5 September 2007We had yet another disablement yesterday, calling into question whether I’m just unlucky, or whether I’m somehow doing damage to things.
Anyway, we were in the Baskin-Robbins after dinner last night, and when we returned to the truck, it wouldn’t start. We got a ride home to the trailer, and I took a cab back this […]
Do You Know the Way to San Jose?
4 September 2007I do, and we’ll be seeing it shortly. It’s time to go home.
We’re back in Tacoma today, south from Port Townsend. We really enjoyed the past few days on the Quimper Peninsula, which is a sub-peninsula of the Olympic Peninsula. Port Townsend is a fine town that I’ve written about a post or two back, […]
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 […]
We moved today
28 August 2007One of the things I haven’t written about is that this trip has been a maintenance nightmare. So far we’ve done brakes, a new trailer hitch, and two water pumps. When the trailer hitch broke, in Puyallup, we were pretty much stuck in our site until we could get it replaced. We had electric, but […]
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 […]
A Yugophone
27 August 2007We were out for the evening and I took this photo at a used car lot.
