In The Home Stretch

I know it’s been a while since I blogged anything, but I’ve been busy.  I’ve been setting up my website hosting company among other things.  Shameless plug: I’m providing domain registration, website hosting, and design services through my new hosting company Northern Colorado Hosting. I digress; we’ve been working out the details of moving back into the condo since my tenant wanted out of their lease.  Things are all set to end this month.

Early November we’ll be busy moving out of the RV and back into the condo.  It’s really just a temporary situation for the winter since the opportunity came up and I wasn’t really looking forward to winterizing the RV. Maybe next year we’ll be able to score a newer RV with more slides and amenities, at least that’s the plan. Anyway I’ve got some boxes to get and we’ve got to start packing soon. Wish us luck!

Winter Cometh

Before you know it it’s going to be snowing outside. The trees are already changing colors and loosing their leaves around here. In preparation we had already got some heat tape to keep our water supply to the RV from freezing. The plan was set for insulating the area underneath the RV with bails of hay. Then I get an email from the tenants leasing my condo, “can we get out of our lease early?”

In order to spare you the excruciating details; we’ll be moving back into the condo for at least the winter. Other ideas have sprung to mind as well. Since the housing market around here is still pretty crappy we’ll just have to live there until we can find another tenant come spring. In fact it may turn out for the best if we can sell our existing RV and save money for a much better one next year. Wish us luck!

The Skating Adventure Continues

We’ve been working so hard to learn how to roller skate and I’m still the only one to fall on my ass…twice now. It seems to help if you try things out on carpet first. One the of main issues we have is that the skates are to darn fast! In fact they slide out from under you if your just standing still. They just feel unnatural right now.

As you can tell from the picture below I’m not having much fun yet. Just when I start to get the hang of it I fall on my ass and give myself a headache. I’m sure I’ll just have to stick with it like I did when I was learning to snowboard. When I was snowboarding my ass really hurt and I had a headache, but at least I pushed my way through it and have been riding for years now. Wish me luck.
