Its a neat little town!

Hey Paddy!

Thanks, it was fun visit.

I was pretty Impressed and I didn't think it would be that cool inside.

Gotta watch out for the relatives

Both!

Yes it was

I saw it. But we didn't stop. Might still be open?

Thanks! The truth is hiding right in front of us for sure.

Good call!

It was a really nice park. I like the desert more than I thought I would.

Hey Steve!

You too Ken!

It was on our way to somewhere warmer, that's why we stopped!

Could be! I'll find out soon

I first heard about them about 20 years ago and thought the whole thing sounded gross... Now I dig 'em!

Yeah, gives you a chance to catch up with life.

I'm pretty surprised about how many of them there are.

Not at today's beef prices! Its $7ish/lb for cheap meat or cheap sliced meat where I go... its a no-brainer to buy it sliced when its the same price. I do get un-sliced when the price is right. Do some math on store bought jerky - its about $30/lb and its full of stuff you shouldn't be eating.

@@livingforalivingRV im well aware that store bought jerky costs money. I was saying that because you said sliced meat was less work, and so is premade jerky. But hey if you live somewhere that sliced meat costs the same as non sliced meat that is a good call and also not like any place I have ever been in my entire life. They must not have to pay butchers. Everywhere I have ever been the more the meat is processed the more you pay. I typically make a batch of jerky when i break down bigger cuts of meat. even if I wasn't buying an entire chuck roll, buying stir fry meat is always still more expensive than buying a roast of the same cut and slicing it yourself.

@@carvedwood1953 I find that its regional. Just gotta watch the price per pound. Beef prices have gotten so high lately that I'm watching it like an eagle!

@@livingforalivingRV if you are really watching I would highly suggest buying an entire chuck roll from sams club or costco and breaking it down yourself. Lots of great cuts in there from steaks to roasts to great jerky meat. 6 dollars a pound. you can get other subprimal cuts at good prices as well and just cut them up how you will use them.

@@carvedwood1953 I used to raise cattle in a previous journey... Nothing beats getting primals and packing them up... but its hard to do in an RV. I'm looking into getting a dedicated 12v freezer now that I have some space in the new rig and we'll be getting after it. If you're getting a qtr/half/whole, don't forget the heart, trim off the fat and it makes excellent chili!

I saw cricket candy today!

we're all gonna die!

This is the 3rd or 4th one I've had, always fried. This is also the last one I'll ever have. My tastes have matured quite a bit since the first. Palo Duro was pretty nice, stay tuned for some vid next week on it.

@@livingforalivingRV Sorry, I said grilled. Should have been griddle, with more than ample butter.

Nothing beats laying out on a blanket and watching the sky go by.

This was a place called Cheddars. I'm thinking it was a chain... didn't taste as good as it looked.

I have a bunch left over from my home's previous owner. I would make it antenna but old rusty barb wire is nasty to handle.

@@LeeMcc_KI5YPR Definitely. It is essentially tetanus waiting to happen.

I didn't realize there were so many kinds of it.

You!

We're already on the other side... OpSec and all that!

Sweet, thanks!

I tried to learn the harmonica, I think it sounds different "in my head" vs. "in my ear" and I couldn't ever get "that sound". I need to record it and then play it back and see what's up.

If I was in an RV in Florida I'd be in Mississippi or Alabama right now! I don't mess with storms anymore. They always win.

I appreciate the honesty.

weird, I don't know why it would do that?

They work really well, I'm setting up for some Jerky right now.

7! Oof!! Upside works ok, but it only handles $50 worth of fill-ups at one fueling... so be aware of that as fuel prices are rising. I'm looking into Open Roading now. I'll let you know. With my old gas truck and 23' I was afraid to look at gas mileage.

Thanks for watching! I am starting to say "Its not the pursuit of happiness, but the happiness of pursuit."

Sure is! That's about 1000 miles though. The truck does "not so bad" without the trailer and then "better than a gasser" with the trailer - which is to say fuel mileage sucks.

It's actually easier to back up then the small trailer... I can't imagine I'm that much better ...

I wanted to get some more footage of us hanging out, but got distracted with all the good conversation and those Tenderloin sammies!

There are some "interesting" campgrounds out there for sure.

Starlink mini doesn't provide as much bandwidth - and why throw away a faster dish that you've already paid for?

it was harmless... unless you were a kid and wanted to poke the nest for fun.

@@livingforalivingRV In California, they were called meat bees. They are attracted to meat, not flowers, so especially bad for campgrounds.

I can agree with eating meat over flowers... just not when I'm the meat getting eaten!

I'll be there soon!

I've seen a few of them, seems like a southern OK chain. Never got a chance to stop there.

I looked them up... and promptly forgot when they were harmless. Interesting to see a HUGE nest like that right out my window. The neighbors complained, the nest was gone and then the neighbors were gone.

Me too!

Agreed. I see the average 5th wheel starts around 33ft. They keep making housing hard to afford, more people will opt-out of housing.

I was surprised it was a perfect fit! (maybe a little snug)

Hey Michael, I'll keep you in mind if we're in Ohio area. Did you get your RV yet?
