Back from being withdrawn

Don't know where to start this, so will just start here....  Better place than no place.

In the past year or so withdrew to my old way of living, that is to keep to myself mostly and play computer games.  While nothing is truly wrong with playing computer games, I generally take things to the excess and play them in ALL my non working / non traveling moments.  Just the way things are sometimes.  Apologies to all that expected more of a reason, and thanks for reading!

Quick synopsis of the last year, and plans for the next few months.  Will have couple posts to go through some details.

Spent last winter in Florida.  At the park I stayed at was a lady that worked at the hospital I was born in.  Found out she is very likely the one who drew my blood shortly after was born.  Now, I'm not a believer in vampires, but.......  There is also no such thing as coincidences.  It all happens for a reason, we just need to connect the dots.

Had a few problems with the motor home in Florida, dead starter battery (from when bypassed relay), leak in transmission (put a heli-coil in to stop leak), and then a grand finale when got to Pahrump, more on that finale later.  There was something else, cheap Chinese tire separation I think, in Deming.

After all that went the route of a new rig.   For those that have seen me since made the decision, you know, you really know the abbreviated story.  For those that haven't hold on to yer britches (notice the R in there).

Spent this past summer on Vashon Island, and, well, this summer it's extremely likely going East.  I have a recent missive.  It's not written on paper so technically not a missive, but it is to me, all that counts.  Am hopeful to go west to Vashon before summer is over..  No Florida this winter.  Also finally cleaned out storage unit on Vashon!!!  YaY mE.

Right now am boondocking in Quartzsite, AZ.  Definition of boondocking for those that don't know:

No fresh water, electricity or sewer utilities while camping in an RV. Living without conveniences such as municipal electricity or water, indoor plumbing, or grocery stores, especially when camping with a recreational vehicle (taken from UrbanDictionary)

Will be here through January, then going to Vegas in February and 9 days of firearms training in Pahrump.

After that there is possibility of doing some travel for work (to where it's cold (booo)) for a few days then head east for the missive, hopefully not the whole summer.  Will avoid heading too far north....

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a wonderful New Years Eve!  Here's to a great 2019!
