A short update

So, at this moment Stacy and I are in our RV at a campground in Idaho Falls.

 In about a half hour we'll be going back over to the Shilo Inn and Convention center for the banquet evening during the Juvenile Justice Conference for this year. 

Tomorrow is the final day of meetings then we start back towards home. It has been a nice trip so far, no problems with the trailer, and this was the first time we have been able to take it on a trip since we got it so this is also been the "shakedown" trip. Everything has worked great and we even had a lot of rain during the evening and night last night and this morning. No leaks or drips inside at all, and we've had the RV with the leaking window seal more than once over the years. But we're very glad our 2015 doesn't leak.
As we've been here for the last few days it has  been interesting seeing all the comings and goings of RV rigs each day. 
From really new to new to them older units, quite the variety of sizes and shapes, and I'm not talking about just the people in the RVs either!

Last week back home it had cooled off to the 60s and 70s, when we got here it was around 90 the first days and now it was only in the mid 60s here today, yes! 
While rain here the predicted rain at home hadn't happened yet. 

What to say about a conference? Long hours in very uncomfortable chairs with not very good food and  a air-conditioning break down making everyone sweating to death in a packed room listening to a guy rambling with a few get to the point moments!

Yeah, seems like a usual conference!

Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

O.M.G.! I haven't posted since February!!!!!

I knew it has been a while, a long while. Not this long though! So, readers in the either, if there are any still around, what's been going on with our life adventure? The high points since February 2018: 1. We almost bought a new truck. 2. While we didn't finally buy a truck in late March, we traded in two-vehicles and bought a 2018 Toyota, Rav4 Hybrid, CUV ( C ompact 'sports'  U tility V ehicle). 3. We had a fantastic summer trip with the granddaughters spending 9 days in Yellowstone last July. The bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer we bought July 2017 right after our June trip in 2017, proved to be the BEST way to comfortably sleep and house the 5 of us, me, Stacy, Sandy, and the granddaughters, for a trip. 4. In August we got Stacy the one RV trailer she's been wanting for several years now, a Winnebago Micro-Minnie, a 20-foot long travel trailer that sleeps two. Stacy used it for a week-long business trip to Boise for state-level meetings just a couple of wee...
