No more catching up. Look out ahead.

So much for catching up and moving along slowly towards the future.
Last Sunday we purchased our retirement home on wheels.  This is a 2016 Vilano 365RL by Vanleigh, a division of Tiffen.  We decided to go to a RV show to pass the time.  We told each other before we left that we were just going to look at the unit we planned on buying.  Well, that didn't work out, as soon as we saw this model.  The Countess fell in love.  So today is Tuesday and I have installed a hitch in the truck, found a storage spot and ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon for our trip to Arizona in 10 days.  We are waiting on the dealer to get the unit prepared for our inspection and the turnover.  Soon I hope. The path ahead is pretty set now so everything we do will be to achieve that goal. The future looks pretty bright. Better get some shades.

Had the big solar eclipse yesterday.  The media makes such a big deal over nothing.  Sure it's a once in 99 year event but you would think it was a life changing happening.  The moon passed in front of the sun so the US could see it.  Big whoop.  It always passes in front of the sun and casts its' shadow somewhere every day.  We just don't see it.  The event cost people thousands of dollars as they traveled to the perfect spot to see the total eclipse.  So much money spent for 2 minutes of dim light.  People are such idiots sometimes when the media revs them up.  Oh well, not my problem.  I got to see it from the back yard using a welding helmet.  Didn't cost me a thing.  It was cool to see and worth every penny I spent.
