ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON THE ROAD
















65 and sunny today in Dallas as I contemplate one full year living on the road in the Starship!!!

What a year this has been, lots of traveled miles, new places, people and experiences, and the joy of following good weather! I like it well enough that I think I shall try another year! To keep me sane, I am lucky enough to have a small group of family and friends that keep in touch. Your calls, texts, and emails mean more to me than you know! I miss you!

I see I have posted 53 times to this journal so far this year. I use this as a personal place to organize my thoughts and experiences as well as to post pictures of people I meet and places I go. It is a good trip down memory lane for me to look over older posts. If you look back, remember that you can double click on any picture to make it larger.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my Amphicar! After all the driving (and swimming) I have done over the years, the car has need of some serious maintainance and refurbishing. Fortunately here in Texas, my great buddy CJ offered his shop for the project.

This is serious work of suspension parts like axles, bushings, bearings, king pins, ball joints, etc.

The bad news is the price of parts is astronomical! The good news is they are still available! So, I think one must bite the bullet, and go for it. The plus of having this facility to work in and the ability to do the work myself is a great thing!
So the plan is a month here to get this all done, then off for new adventure! Today I saw this redtail hawk in the wide blue sky while Spanky and I were taking a long walk! I hope all is well with you!
