Yessssss!!! It took several trips to Ace, Tractor Supply, Ace, Tractor Supply, ordering from Amazon and then discovering the fitting I needed still attached to an old regulator that had blown out that I had removed and never threw away. We have propane! Just in the nick of time (getting into low 30s in a […]
2022-12-20 New Family Members
AT flew in for the holidays and went to work helping with the cleanup. I won’t touch a chainsaw, but she rocked it! While walking the neighborhood, KT came across a pile of discarded mannequins in a debris pile. How could he pass those up? He came back for TT’s truck and retrieved the four […]

2022-12-05 Tackling New Stereo Installation
Thanks to the Travato Owners and Wannabes FB group, a very helpful member posted the parts list and a step-by-step YouTube video on how to install a new stereo with CarPlay. I was feeling ambitious and decided to tackle it myself. This was more than a one day job. But I started! The van did […]
2022-12-02 Dry Yard Means Moving
Ahhh 🙂 Yard finally dried out enough that I could “move” down to the river. And now I’m not parked over a mound, so can hopefully wiggle under the van to see if I can fix the propane myself.

Soaking up these memories while I can. She is precious.
