Sketchbook


If you remember, I had the AC taken out while I was in Florida. I had always planned on taking it out, but the water pouring in to the RV made it a little more pressing. Unfortunately, it has been very hot in Southern Illinois. I can deal with it, […]

Keeping The Dogs Cool


About an hour into my latest vagabondage (sadly, not as a dirty as it sounds), my engine started smoking. *Sigh. I was really hoping my radiator blew a hose. I seriously thought, let’s just hope it’s something with the radiator. Me and my big mouth. I called Good Sam and about 2 […]
