Thank you, CudaChick...and no, this isn't anyone in particular, I had my tattoo artist come up with her. I just gave her some basics and let her run with it. Oddly, it's the first redhead pinup she's done.

What's everybody think? And no, she's not anyone in particular, my tattoo artist created her just for me.

Y'know...that's absolutely right...actually, I oughtta make a pot of chicken soup and freeze some just to be safe...

People who, for whatever reason, can't understand the concept of an express lane. I love going to check out with just a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs and maybe a couple more items (well below the 7/10/12/20 item limit), only to be cut off by some dipshit with a cart full of stuff. I can't think...

I personally go for the jalapeno poppers...

Nice to see an appreciation for the sandwich...if I'm making my own, I found a great one(since I don't have an oven or griddle to do a proper cuban) Thin roasted turkey on nice thick whole weat, topped with thai chile sauce, thinly sliced apple, and topped with muenster, nuked til the cheese...

Y'know, this is a pretty good question, as simple as meat on bread can be...me, I love a good cuban, nice roasted pork, good ham, swiss cheese, tangy mustard and pickles on a pressed, toasty cuban roll...so, what's everyone else dig?

Maybe it was meant to be...but losing $20K, the motorhome, my last vacation day of last year seems to be a bit much. On the upside, this won't push me into financial ruin...but that's about where the upside ends.

Well, I'm finally clear of the motorhome. After getting the repair estimate, and realizing that it would put me upside down and require almost maxing out two credit cards or completely wiping my IRA and 401k, I decided to take a voluntary repossession. As it is, they've picked it up from the...

Tomorrow morning: baked blueberry/almond french toast...

Y'know, were this not a legitimate, totally unforeseen breakdown, I'd be incredibly angry. But, as this was just a matter of bad luck coupled with bad timing, I'm pretty okay with it.

The two standout words in the consumer reports review were "Loud" and "Expensive"...I'd go kitchenaid myself...powerful, well-built, and available in a variety of colors...

Update: turns out what went through the injector pump gears was not the legendary 'killer dowel pin'...it was a bolt...WTF?

Sweet potato pie with marshmallow fluff...it fits perfectly between side dish and dessert...

It was the Auto Corral in Mesa. And under AZ law, every used vehicle sold is covered by a mandatory 14 day/500 mile (whichever comes first) warranty. Bad part, I'd driven it Roughly 1700 miles by the time the engine grenaded itself. But really, I'm not faulting the dealer. This is a somewhat...

On the upside...I'll have a diesel pusher with a brand-effin-new engine...

Well, I got a call today from the Kenworth dealer...they found a lot of metal bits in the oil, and at least one cylinder is scored. It would seem the engine is a victim of the legendary 'killer dowel pin'. Looks like I'm gonna need either rebuild or remanufactured engine installed. I'm...

I can only hope it's just the boot. Although, thinking about it, it makes sense, given what symptoms I saw. Being a first-time diesel owner now, it's a strange new world. As is everything else associated with owning a motorhome...oddly, it's a fairly easy beast to drive.

Well, I managed to make it back to work this morning(In Rochester, NY). Called the KW dealer this morning to let them know what was going on, and it seems it'll either be something cheap/easy to fix (blown air-air boot on the pressurized side of the turbo), or something expensive/slightly less...

Oh...luckily when I picked it up, the holding tanks were flushed, and the fresh water tank was empty. So no storage problems there...but man, I need something to go very right very soon. I haven't even made my first payment yet. Also, getting out of the tow truck after it got set down, I...

Well, I picked it up Friday, had a helluva time finding my way out of Phoenix AZ, but eventually got under way after losing about 3.5 hours. Had a cold night because I couldn't figure out how to get the generator/furnace going, eventually just let the diesel idle to keep from freezing. Then...

I'll take those two blue/white AC Cobras, please...

Hopefully fun, albeit short. There's gonna be about 28 hours of driving in roughly 48 hours. I'll be flying back from Indy to Buffalo Sunday evening after putting the rig in storage until temps get above freezing and I can move in.

Well, I go to pick it up tomorrow. Flying from Buffalo NY to Phoenix AZ. My brother's meeting me at the airport, flying in from Indy. We'll then get picked up at the airport by a rep from the RV dealer...

I highly recommend the Navigon 5100 series.

Yeah...it's got the 6500W propane generator. I do have plans to add a few solar panels during the spring, as well as a few other modifications to make it a little better for full-timing. Any suggested mods to make to an RV?

I'm guessing it'll tow just about anything...according to Banks, the package they put on should be good for about 800 ft-lbs of torque...and about 9.75 MPG.

Well, if I wasn't already nervous about this decision...Although, I won't need to make any vehicle modifications to my pickup, since this one's self-contained...

Oh no, I talked to the bank a few months ago. They said I was good for up to $25K on an RV loan with a term of up to 10 years. I just need to get them the info on the unit, let them do a price workup and then sign papers and they'll cut me a check...

Guess I need to put a copy of RV on my shopping list for today...and booze...lots of booze
