Full Time, NOW

    Well,we moved into the Mountaineer January 25th. We (Janice) did the final clean up of the house and moved the last loads to the storage locker and landfill. On the 29th we closed on the house. It has been one hell of a month. The changes of address, needed for everything, such as insurance, driver license, banking, investing, cutting of utilities, locating a new lot for the Mountaineer, getting the roof done on the house, dealing with the insurance on that........ well, like I said its been one hell of a month.
    We landed the 5ver in a spot at "Trailer Village" just east of Roswell. Trailer Village is a great RV Park, owners Erin and Debbie are good people, and offer a great park. WiFi, TV Cable, propane sells and laundry mat. All top notch. I highly recommend it, for a stay or an overnight.
    I would like to say that the 5ver was ready for the move..............but, we were so busy getting the house ready that the Mountaineer was more of a place that we could move our belongings into, that we knew we were taking, then a house. So once we got it set up at Trailer Village, then we started arranging the 5ver for living in it. This is much different then taking it on vacation. Janice and I have both worked on clothes storage and have that sorted out. Janice, has been busy setting of the kitchen and sewing room. Bathroom(s) have been added to and made functional, again, for living full time, not vacationing. We made a couple of runs to the store for things like can racks for storage, shelving for under the sink, and in a couple of cabinets. But things are coming together really well.
    One thing that one gets to except as normal, is communications, phone, internet, mail. All have to be set up and matched to your needs. Internet was simple enough, just adapt your cell phones, laptops, notebooks, and table top computer to a new WiFi signal. Set up your blue tooth connections for wireless printing, Ain't technology grand. :-) 
    We slept in this morning until 9:00, first time that has happened in years. We needed to deflate. Then today more rearranging and on we go. Things are starting to slow down, and the plan is coming together.
    For those that don't know and haven't had the pleasure of meeting our cat, "SweetPea", Janice and I own the CAT FROM HELL, the family can vouch for this. She is a Russian Blue and hates change, hates all people except Janice and myself. She made the move with us, she has adapted well so far, found all the windows that the sun shines in and were to lay during different times of the day, so far, so good.
 


Well the journey has begun, until next time, have fun and travel safe.
