It’s slightly overcast but we are going south for the day to a place we had visited years ago with our good friends Terri & Jamie Storter called Seaside FL, one of those idyllic life styles you dream about. Tourist are here taking advantage of the holiday week, lots of families. We walk around in […]

Its sunny and bright as we head across the Navarre bridge to explore the Gulf Island National Seashore Hwy 399. It’s a very narrow road but still has a bike path. The sand drifts across the road in a many place’s as there is a brisk wind. The road is only about 10 miles long […]
After a brisk walk through the neighborhood across the Hwy 98 we decide to stay home today and get caught up on a few practical things like manage the rentals we have back in Bend and do some bookwork, below you see my book keeper hard at work. Just because you live in an RV […]

Today’s adventure takes back to Destin to meet a friend of a friend for lunch Marie & Keith Taunton. Marie suggests Callahan’s Restaurant & Deli and I would underline Deli as it has a large glass case when you enter the restaurant full of steaks & prime ribs. It’s definitely a locals place there and […]
I’m up early to drop off the Mini to 87 Garage it’s probably a 2 mile walk back with sprinkles and a light wind. I head out with my backpack in case I get warm I can peel off my rain coat and fleece. We do our best to get exercise when we can and […]
Here’s a lesson we can learn from, I think of myself as mechanically inclined and really enjoy all machines but especially ones that burn fuel. So, I meticulously maintain our vehicles to not only give them longevity but make them perform well. Our Mini Cooper had 67,000 miles on it when we bought and we […]
