May 7th, 2022 Eighteen months ago, I outlined a plan in a post called “Moving Forward”. That plan has now been completed except for a final step. I have purchased a tow vehicle and travel trailer, sold my home, and am now headed out on the road. The final step is retirement, and that comesContinue reading “Day One”

May 3rd, 2022 Our house was built in 1999. We moved in on Halloween of that year. The house is on a cul-de-sac. It took all day to make trips moving our belongings from an apartment using “Two Men and a Truck”. Zach and Tyler missed Trick or Treating, but the new neighbor ladies inContinue reading “It Comes Down to This”

April 7th, 2022 Since the ski trip, I have taken delivery on my travel trailer, and have been preparing it with some customizations and an upgrade to the solar system. I have also spent a lot of hours getting the house ready to list for sale. The listing started last Thursday morning, and by noonContinue reading “Update”

March 16th, 2022 I came back from a ski trip one and a half weeks ago. Things are happening fast now. On Monday the 7th, I took delivery of my new travel trailer. It sat in my driveway last week, as I made some modifications. I moved it to an RV storage facility yesterday. IContinue reading “Changes”

The bride wears a dress with many bright colors, covered in gold embroidery. The stage was bathed in lavender from spotlights and bordered ceiling toContinue reading “What’s Going On?”

January 22nd, 2022 Saturday I made the drive up to Roscommon for some cross country skiing with Sai, Alekhya and Uday. We started a little late as we wanted to let the temperature warm up from near 0 to 23 degrees Fahrenheit before skiing. We also stopped in West Branch for breakfast. After my friendsContinue reading “Roscommon Ski”

Nordic Ski Trip – December 29th, 2021 I started the trip at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, traveling north to the upper peninsula of Michigan. Several places along Interstate 75, I changed lanes to avoid emergency vehicles assisting with tractor trailer rigs jack knifed or laying on their sides and a few passenger vehicles leaving deepContinue reading “Wakefield, Michigan”

The dead time between autumn and true winter is just about over. By true winter, I refer to that part of the winter season when skiable snow can be found. Often for the southern half of Michigan these days, that means never. But the Upper Peninsula (UP) often receives lake effect snow from Lake Superior.Continue reading “Winter Adventures”
