We are one night away from having completed this mega-crazy task of 1) getting the Airstream to Ohio in the winter, 2) emptying most of our stuff into a storage unit, and 3) readying the trailer for serious work by the service center. That was all enough to land us a top score in RVing […]

Interior Improvements, Cont’d
Yeah, that photo above has nothing to do with this post. But I’m tired of thinking about inside, probably like most of you. I know that those of us stuck at home are lucky to have a home to be stuck in, and some of us are fortunate to be working from home and not […]
