Sorry, I’m Back

Notice the picture in the background of this high quality literary work? You see the whole thing in this post. The picture is over 10 years old and one of my favorites. The beach is called Bahai El Coyote (Coyote Bay) and is south of Mulege on the Sea Of Cortez in the state of Baja Sur, Mexico.
We spent one night here in the spring of 2002, while on our way back from a winter in Cabo San Lucas.
Many of the RV’s you see had been dry camping here for the past 4 or 5 months. Every day a local farmer came through selling produce, and once a week or so a couple of the guys would get together and make a run into Mulege, probably 20 miles up the road to pick up beer and other, much less important supplies. Spear guns were all they needed to catch enough fish for dinner.

I hope to go back there someday, although this time I would like to count the length of our stay in the area by weeks, not days.

After working my little heiny off for the past week I am now off until next Thursday. I think I could be on to something. It feels like I may have found the sweet spot!

Before you ask, business is just fine. Their sales are up again this year over last and based on my week at work, it looks like I’ll be back sipping the premium beer just like before. I get an interesting perspective, stepping in and stepping out like that. And I enjoy doing what I do. What do I do you ask? I talk to interesting people all day, often about RV’s. And here’s the neat part; for that Sicard RV  puts money in our bank account.  Which is kind of handy because believe it or not our investments haven’t done quite what they were supposed to over the past few years.

Anyway, it’s an interesting business and so far I’m glad I’m back.

Oh: and you are thinking about a new RV, please come and see (maybe you should call first to make sure I’m there). I really need the commissions. The Canadian prices of premium beer are just brutal.

Thank you for the read.

 

RV Fires: Let’s Talk Safety

Our neighbors and good friends had a fire in their RV refrigerator the other day. Fortunately they were home and caught it before it did any major damage to their coach.
I’ve been meaning to write a piece on RV fridges and fires for a long time. 80 % of RV fires start at the refrigerator so looking after your RV fridge becomes an extremely important task. It won’t guarantee you never have a fire, but it will cut down the percentage.
You can read the  whole story right here, then please pass the word on to all your RV’ing friends.

Ballad Of The Black Plastic Cowboy Hat

the Black plastic cowboy hat


There must have been some magic in that black plastic had they found. For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around. Yehaw!
Words by Jason Vanstone, Music by Frosty the Snowman

It’s a whole new experience learning to wear a fine Stetson-like hat like the one you see on the handsome professional male model above. Taking the corners wide is a must and lower entrances are definetely a no-no. You better keep at least one hand free at all times because you certainly know it when you step out into a stong wind. On the positive side though it does keep some of the sun out of your eyes and may even have some value for keeping the rain off your glasses.

Contrary to popular opinion though all the girls don’t automatically go wild when they see a rogue in a black plastic cowboy hat. Admittedly a few did, but I had to throw them back, they certainly weren’t keepers. I’m thinking that maybe if I had a real black cowboy hat, not a plastic one, the results might be better. Or maybe it’s time I just faced it; Maybe the years have taken away my youthful rogue-ish charm.
What am I thinking? It is the plastic.
