That more than I paid for my freaking house. I agree that trailers are *much* more convenient. Especially if you can find one (or adapt your trailer hitch) that tows "flat". Then you can sleep level or prepare a meal en-route without unhooking.
The one I'd like to get, a 19' Scamp fifth-wheel, would be very easy to tow and to get into tighter spaces. A 16' Scamp trailer would be even easier but I like that in the 19' there is a queen bed over the hitch
pin and it's pretty easy for me to get up into even with my
disabilities.
Now whether I'll ever get one at this rate, well, that's up in the air.

We've done that route but it gets pricey when doing major trips. What keyed off the whole camper thing was that several years ago we wanted
to go out west to see our girls/grandkids but Steve didn't want to fly. Rachel said "why not get a camper and go glamping across the country?" Steve latched on to the first part of the question, after research and
a not so nice experience, we settled on the R-Pod. We've seen a lot

We've done long trips but for the most part kept the road time to about
10 hours or less, even when we were younger. Exceptions were usually
trips from NC to NY when the girls were small (and slept thru most of
the drive). After an extra long one from NC to FL 9 years ago, Steve
had his 2nd stroke about a week after we got back. That settled the matter; we usually stop for the day about supper time now.

No, in both strokes Steve had, it was after long travel (sitting,
either on a plane or stuck in traffic). He has a hole in his heart--the one we're all born with but (usually) closes after birth. His didn't, causing a payton faramital ovale (PFO). In both instances, a blood clot broke loose from lower down, travelled up to the heart and into the
hole, from there up to the brain. The hole is usually surgically
repaired in people under 60; a newer surgery is now available on a
limited (still somewhat experimental) basis for those over 60. In
Steve's case, it isn't avalable around here so he's just living with
it. When he had the CT scan after the 2nd stroke, they told him he'd
had a prior one--and he could tell them exactly when. The Schofield Barracks clinic wrote it off as gastritis, the most common misdiagnosis
of that kind (cerebeller) of stroke. He finally got the VA to recognise it/give him back pay for it about 18 months ago.

I usually stay awake to act as a back up pair of eyes. The second

helps to have the second set of eyes in certain situations. We've had several times when the extra eyes have averted a bad situation.

That's a help. Now that we've got a dual axle camper, we've got 4 tires there, 4 on the truck to replace. The wheels on the new camper are underneath the body so the potential for more damage is there if they should blow. Last year when one blew on the R-Pod (single axle,
outboard wheels), it was on the passenger side, took the fender with it but otherwise, minor damage. We'd just passed the entrance to a truck weigh station but the shoulder was wide enough for Steve to pull off
and change to the spare. Fender was a goner, UDOT (Utah DOT) truck
found it and stopped in back of us just after Steve finished the change
to let us know he had it.

Long haul truckers are used to spending hours on the road; we prefer to
do the shorter trips. We also stop more often, just to move around a little and get the circulation going. Hopefully that will prevent any
more long haul sitting possiblities of another stroke.

I've always had good luck with General and/or Firestone-Bridgestone
tires. And abysmal bad fortune any time I've been saddled with
Michelins. You, of course, will do as you will. Just a bit of
experience talking.
I'm not sure what brand of tires Steve got on the camper but the next
day after the blow out, he got a matched set of brand new tires. We put maybe 5,000 miles on them before we traded the camper.

Our Dollar Tree is still called that. But there's a big sign in their window with that says "$1.25 for most items."
I've not been to any of our local dollar stores (have several in WF) recently. Saw on the news that some are carrying a bit more fresh meat, produce, etc in areas that would otherwise be food deserts; the dollar store in the town where I grew up did that after a hurrricane took out
the only grocery store and NYC gave them a major hassle about
rebuilding. They finally rebuilt, in the same area (a flood plain) but probably won't be able to rebuild the next time a storm takes them out.
I told a customer at the parts store the other day when he remarked
about the price of his parts "Nothing goes down any more but the left-front DD> tire on your car." He nodded his head and smiled as
he removed his card from the credit card machine.
We did well in that the tire that blew out on the camper was the
passenger side and the shoulder was wide enough that we could pull completly off the road.

in all forms, even chocolate. I've done a 7 layer dessert (with graham crackers, pudding and cool whip) but that was before he started the caffiene avoidance. This one might go into the "try for a different
group pot luck" filing tho.
No Mountain Dew for him, then. Does he sleep a lot at the meetings?
Most often I see him with a water bottle. I've not noticed him dozing
off at our meetings. He retired from driving a UPS truck at the end of 2019, probably slept pretty good after a day of running with packages. First year of retirement was hard because of covid--all the things he'd planned to do were not happening. Things have improved and he went to
VT with us last year, planning to go this year. I know if I need an
extra set of hands in the kitchen, he can fill in almost as good as
Steve. (G)
My niece brought this over last night "Because I knew you wouldn't
feel like cooking>"
Which was true. She also brought the recipe - because she knows me too well sometimes. Bv)=
If/when I make it I may (probably) swap Ritz style crackers for the
tater chips.

Looks almost like chicken soup in casserole form. BTW, Mike took some
of that dessert home, shared with his sister and she wanted the recipe
as much as he did. We're going to try it with cherry or peach pie
filling next time we make it. Cinnamon graham crackers complimented the blueberries, should also work well with the peach filling.
I know a guy who belonged to a religious denomination that is supposed
to avoid caffeine. When he discovered (after beig kidded about it) that
Coca Cola has caffeine he quit the Latter Day Saints and joined Jehovah's Witnesses. Go figger.

I went to the website from which that recipe came and it's loaded with fast, easy, tasty (hard to get all three in the same recipe) recipes.
So, I signed up for their mailing list, This recipe looks like Sunday dinner ..........

I've met Ale-8. But I hadda go look up "Ski" .... Hmmmm made by "Double Cola". Wonder what their cloa drink tastes like. Bv)=
As for Double Cola, there are not many nearby places to find it. I
think the closest place is Evansville. I take that back... I can get Illinois glass-bottled Ski at the local Cracker Barrel gift shop, last
I checked. ;)

I thought it was an Erma Bombeck book title. Miss her, as well as Lewis Grizzard. Dave Barry is ok but nothing like the above 2 columnists.

Sounds like maybe one I ought to look into. We signed on as cooks for
our VT mission team again this year. I'll also be doing crafts at the
VBS we do in a city park in Waterbury. Will be taking the new camper up there this year.

A little surprised you had not encountered Ski before in Illinois. It
is glass-bottled in Southern Illinois somewhere, and can be found on
tap in some restaurants in St. Louis. Here in Kentucky, it was a big thing until Coke-Cola bought the Greensburg Bottling Company and got
rid of all of the Double Cola drinks. They actually kept Ski, and sold
it in place of Mello Yellow, in a limited area.
The Kentucky Headhunters sang about it in their hit song, "Dumas
Walker."
Ski is now distributed locally by Ale-8, so it has made somewhat of a comeback.
As for Double Cola, there are not many nearby places to find it. I
think the closest place is Evansville. I take that back... I can get Illinois glass-bottled Ski at the local Cracker Barrel gift shop, last

"Double" comes from the size of the early bottles being twice as big as other colas but for the same price. IMHO, it is better than Coke or Pepsi, especially the glass-bottled, real sugar version (which I think
is all that Excel makes -- Excel is the Illinois bottler).
Both Mount & Do and its clone Mello Yell-o are nasty in my opinion.
I've been doing diet soda since before I was diagnosed as mextra-sweet.
But if I do drink fully-leaded soda it's either Mexican Coke (which a
couple stores here carry) or Kosher for Passover Coke (yellow caps) in
season .... and avoid that nasty HFCS.

Motels and meals, plus sleeping in our own bed at night. Had a VT
meeting trip today, looks like 7 adults, 2 kids going. We'll be staying just outside of Waterbury instead of 45 minutes away in
Washington--just a couple of miles up the road from an apple
cidery--they also make really good apple cider doughnuts.

This looks like it could be done with any combination of beans, meat
and seasoning--a good side dish to take to the cook out we do with the church we work with up in VT.

I'm not much on cider doughnuts. They're OK ... but so is kissing you
old maid auntie. I much prefer hot cider as a beverage ... I first met
it at Lincoln's New Salem State Park during their winter festival. I enjoyed it so much I asked for (and received) the recipe. It tastes as
if you're dringing apple pie. Bv)=

If I ever make it I'll lose te kidney beans (a texture thing with me)
in favour of red beans or black beans. And might substitute Polish or Smoked sausage for the bratwurst.

That would work. Last night I made sauerbraten for supper. Couldn't get
to my usual recipe for the marinade so I winged it--turned out probably the best one I've ever made. Gingersnaps for gravy came from Wegman's.
(G) In the marinade I used peppercorns, whole cloves, whole allspice, juniper berries and bay leaves plus cider vinegar, a bit of sugar and water.

Perhaps it's because all of the cider doughnuts I have had are "cake" doughnuts .... which is not my favourite form of cruller. My
preference is for what I call "old fashioned" - unglazed, glazed or
glazed and then drizzled w/chocolate icing. Bv)=

Funny you should mention that. An aquaintance harvested a deer with
his SUV and has gifted me with a nice venison rump-roast. It's
currently in the marinade getting ready to be weekend dinner. Bv)=
