In that phone number is five four 23 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:48,040 one five four eight, nine, five eight. One of the 24 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,920 things I wanted to make sure and do before I 25 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:56,280 get going with our program today is my admiration and 26 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,920 thankfulness to the other podcasters out there. There's only a 27 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,439 handful of us out there, and there's some great people 28 00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:10,240 doing some really good information for our veers. So I've 29 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,159 been privileged to take the time to find some of 30 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:16,840 those channels and listen to them, and I only hope 31 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,719 that we can do as good a job as they are. 32 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:22,560 So the next thing I wanted to talk about is 33 00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,400 we actually launched a great video that if you get 34 00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:29,479 a chance to go to RV Travel Buddy's YouTube channel, 35 00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:33,639 We've just launched a video that Sherry and I about 36 00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:39,439 our Montana fifth will and we're like three to four 37 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:43,159 weeks to moving into it full time. We're actually giving 38 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,560 up our apartment and moving into our fifth will full time, 39 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,759 and we've been trying to document what it's taken to 40 00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:56,280 get to this point, and we just launched a video 41 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,719 with the weekend if you get a chance to catch it. 42 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:04,759 It's called a Montana modifying for workstations, and we put 43 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,800 more emphasis on where we're going to put our printers, 44 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,039 where we're going to put our laptops where we're going 45 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,280 to put the podcasts in equipment. So we address that 46 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,280 in that video. So you get a chance to catch 47 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,639 that video. It's from RV travel Quest, but it's under 48 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,159 the same channel as RV travel Buddy. I hope that 49 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000 makes sense, So just explain more. If you go to 50 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,599 RV travel Buddy's channel, we have several categories and one 51 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,639 of those categories is RV travel Quest. Did I make 52 00:03:37,719 --> 00:03:43,159 that as confusing as possible? So let's get going on 53 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,039 the feature that we have for you today. Bob and 54 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:54,479 Cheryl from Washington State, our brand new full timers just retired. 55 00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:58,120 He's from the railroad and this is a out in 56 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:01,479 the field interview, actually in a park, and you're gonna 57 00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,400 hear noises in the background.

So sit back, grab yourself a 60 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:14,080 cup of coffee, and let's start the interview right now. 61 00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:17,759 So this is Rob Scribner with RVY Talk Radio, and 62 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,160 we're in the field today up in Anta Cortus, Washington, 63 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,319 and we're at Pioneer RVY Park Trails Trails, and we 64 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,480 have a gentleman here who his wife's with him too, 65 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,319 but she's on the shy side.

Eerie is more 83 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,000 the word for it. Yeah, but I'm over it now. 84 00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: So one of the questions I've got to ask personally, though, 85 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,240 what did you do with all your stuff? 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 4: I've got a fifty three foot storage unit and it's full. 87 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,120 I've got my Harley and my sports car and my 88 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,240 explorer in there along with all my stuff. 89 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,199 Speaker 3: Wow. So yeah, you're like me, you can't part with 90 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,560 it all just in case you want to go back 91 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,040 to a house. 92 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 4: We're going back to a house. It's just a matter 93 00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:45,480 of when. 94 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:45,759 Speaker 1: Yeah. 95 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. So so my first thing I noticed is you 96 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:53,439 have a big horn fifth wheel? Is that cracked? So 97 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,879 can you tell us a little bit about it? 98 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 4: Well, it's thirty nine foot big horn. It's got three slides. 99 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,079 It's what drew me to that one is it's got 100 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,199 all wood. There's none of that pressports stuff. It's got 101 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,639 all it's all wood. And uh, it's just told me, Yeah, 102 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,360 what year is it? It's a fourteen? 103 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: Oh wow, so it's pretty new. Like yes, and I 104 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,319 got asked you. I saw your rig out there and 105 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000 I wasn't quite familiar with it. But what is it again? 106 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,879 Speaker 4: It's a three quarter ton Silverado. It was six feet 107 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,600 Allison and turbo Duramax diesel. 108 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, what year is that one? 109 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 4: It's a well in two thousand and seven, about about 110 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,800 June they switched to a different body style. Yeah, so 111 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,160 that's a seven and a half and it's crazy to 112 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,120 get ports for that thing. When I was in Arizona. 113 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,560 I had to have a fog light, and they give 114 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,360 me one for two thousand and seven. I'd take it 115 00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,680 back because it's been totally different. 116 00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 3: Wow, so you've been happy with the truck overall. 117 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,199 Speaker 4: I'll never have another vehicle pickup truck unless it's a Chevy. 118 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,279 I might look at the dodges, but unless it's a 119 00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:06,160 Chevy and it's got that diesel. Yeah, sweet, I love 120 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:06,560 that thing. 121 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: So when you to retire, how long did it take 122 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,279 you to get prepared to go full timing once you 123 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,120 made the decision. 124 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:22,079 Speaker 4: Well, I've had two fifth wheels, two buses, and a trailer, 125 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,920 and I've been rving for about twelve years. So I've 126 00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:31,199 always since I had a bus and then a fifth wheel, 127 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,439 and then this fifth wheel. Since I had that bus, 128 00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,959 it's always been ready. I could have went anytime. 129 00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: You can tell me about your bus. 130 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 4: Oh, I had a two thousand and seven Coachman with 131 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,439 a freightliner suspension and commings. I think it's a five 132 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,639 to nine whatever size that comings this. 133 00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: So why did you go from that to fifth wheel? 134 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 4: You lose a lot of space in a bus. I agree, 135 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680 lose a lot of space in the bus and if 136 00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:05,160 you want to relax and watch TV. Now they're a 137 00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,920 little different, but you had to sit and look up 138 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,160 at the front of the bus and so you only 139 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,839 have a couch and a chair to sit on. So 140 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,399 as far as livable space is the reason. Yeah, And 141 00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:20,000 they've got a little more storage inside, not outside, but 142 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,959 a little more inside. 143 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: So I got to ask you because we used to 144 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,680 have a forty fleetwood back in two thousand and seven, 145 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,480 and I still go look at him. I mean, I 146 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,240 like to look at him. Yeah you did. He feel 147 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,519 like they're just all kind of the same design pretty much. 148 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:37,679 They just modify it a little bit, but they all 149 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,799 seem to have the couch in the same place. That's air. 150 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: You're right, you're right. 151 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: And when you go in the fifth wheels, and I'm 152 00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:48,200 a fifth wheel owner too, I'm with you so much. 153 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,879 They feel so homey, and they're so different when you 154 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,759 go into each one, they're so different. 155 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,159 Speaker 4: They've all got different floor plans and different colors. Mine's 156 00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:59,519 a little dark inside. Got to have the lights on 157 00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:01,600 most all the time, but that's fine. 158 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 3: Where's your entertainment system? 159 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 4: Mine's on the I've got two slides on the driver's side, 160 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,120 they're both pretty good size. I imagine they're probably about 161 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,360 sixteen feet apiece. And it's on the slide. The backslide, 162 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,840 there's entertainment system. 163 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: Okay, so the whole thing pushes out in the distance. 164 00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then with the entertainment system, it's got a 165 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:29,679 pantry and the stove and refrigerator. All that slides out. 166 00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:33,639 Speaker 3: Yeah. So was there any special preparations you had to 167 00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,840 do before you went full timing other. 168 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,519 Speaker 4: Than I don't think I had to decide what was 169 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,080 going with me. 170 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: Yeah. 171 00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:42,879 Speaker 4: I had to figure that out and I probably got 172 00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:43,759 more than I need. 173 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: How does your family feel about you full timing? 174 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: Well, it's kind of weird. My two boys bought their 175 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,600 houses right close to me. My oldest boys like two 176 00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,759 point two miles from me, and my another boy he's 177 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,320 probably about six miles from me. My youngest one it 178 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,879 lives about six miles from me. He thinks it's just 179 00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:10,200 the coolest thing. He really thinks it's a good, good thing. 180 00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:15,399 My oldest one, who I hang out with quite a bit, Uh, 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,320 he's not too impressed. He's not too impressed with the 182 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,720 whole thing. Thinks I'm nuts. 183 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think our kids are kind of that way too. 184 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,519 So how long have you officially been a full time 185 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,000 right now? 186 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,639 Speaker 4: Since August fifth? 187 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,159 Speaker 3: August fifth, so so about thirteen days. That's awesome. 188 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I lived in that thing six months prior. 189 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,559 When we went to Arizona last winter, we lived in it. 190 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,279 Speaker 3: So there's a great thing right there for people are listening. 191 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,600 Do you We'll probably go back and visit some of 192 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,159 the stuff. But did you feel that it was important 193 00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:53,200 to find out if it was actually something you really 194 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,720 wanted to do? 195 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: I most certainly did. Yeah. The way it all happened 196 00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:01,159 was we've always just been like one or two week 197 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,120 campers and just here Pioneer Trails. We've been coming here 198 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:09,200 for about twelve years. And another place we go is 199 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:13,720 over Winanchiway. But as soon as I retired, I retired 200 00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:21,879 in February of two thousand and thirteen, twenty fourteen. I've 201 00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:25,080 been retired about eighteen months. But the gray because I 202 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,279 was in management with the railroad and I was always 203 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,399 inside of a big building, and I told my wife, man, 204 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,159 I just don't know if I can handle this gray. 205 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,840 We're going to have to do something. Well, that was 206 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,519 her cue. Man as soon as I said that, she 207 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,080 started planning, and we arrived at going to Arizona, and 208 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,240 we were in it for actually about seven months last 209 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,480 year because we were in Portland for a little bit. 210 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: So your wife has been proactive about being harving because 211 00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:58,759 she's more into it than I am, really, so she 212 00:11:58,879 --> 00:11:59,720 was actually the driver. 213 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,919 Speaker 4: We were in Arizona. I told I started spouting off, 214 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,559 we get home, we're going to sell that house in 215 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,159 full time. We weren't home a week and she started 216 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,919 packing and she kept telling me, she said, you know, 217 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,279 you're gonna have to get things going. You know, we 218 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,039 got to call a realer. And I kept telling her, 219 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,080 don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. Everything will be okay. 220 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:21,799 She wanted it listed May the first, We listed July 221 00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:24,840 the first, and we sold it July the second. And 222 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,879 I kind of was sure that that would happen because 223 00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:28,960 the way the market. 224 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,159 Speaker 3: Is right now, are just turning like crazy. 225 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 4: And I did a lot of remodeling on it. So 226 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,000 it was an old house. It was a seventy seven house, 227 00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:37,519 but it was like new wow. 228 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,799 Speaker 3: So you guys can't see uh out there that are 229 00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:44,159 listening to the show, but both of him and myself 230 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:50,080 are using vapor. He we're both actually ex smokers, aren't we. 231 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,200 So how long did you smoke before you were able 232 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:52,519 to cuck? 233 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,159 Speaker 4: Smoked and stopped, and smoked and stopped and smoked and 234 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,960 stopped for at least thirty years, probably closer to thirty five. 235 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, when we ran into each other, we both noticed 236 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,279 that we had the vapor things there. 237 00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 4: And I'd call your's a cannon what I'd call. 238 00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: It, Yeah, mine's got a mine could be a weapon too. 239 00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:14,399 But it's really nice about him, is both of him 240 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,759 and I struggled with trying to quit smoking. I smoked 241 00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:21,480 almost thirty five years, So I know there's some controversy 242 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,159 about people saying about this vaporing stuff, but I tell you, 243 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,360 for people like you and me, I think it's a 244 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,840 blessing because it was the only thing I've ever found 245 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000 was able to get. So I haven't smoked for two years. 246 00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 4: So same with me. Once I started puffing on this thing, 247 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,200 I never did another cigarette. Yeah, And they say, if 248 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,120 anybody wants to start smoking these things, you got to 249 00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:42,799 make sure your juice comes out of the United States. 250 00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:45,879 If it's important stuff, It's got all kind of weird stuff. 251 00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:48,120 Mercury is one of them. Yeah, I agree with that. 252 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: So now I go to get into Now, you probably 253 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,559 haven't done a lot of it, but now you're full timing. 254 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,120 How do you feel about or are you planning on 255 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,360 doing any boondocking? 256 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 4: Well, probably not.

She's got her smartphone and she's 294 00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:54,919 got her tablet and all that stuff, and just use Verizon. 295 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360 Yeah with a ten gigabyte I think it's ten ered. 296 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,320 I don't even know. 297 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I know. 298 00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 4: We don't have nothing special. 299 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,559 Speaker 3: So you're telling me that you use your Internet off 300 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,600 of your phone when you need to. But do you 301 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:10,559 ever use the Internet that's provided on the RV parks? 302 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 4: No, me not being the the RV so the internet 303 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:20,919 savvy kind of guy.

We do all of our 305 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:27,679 banking and everything with that phone, and I don't know 306 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:29,360 enough about it to be able to trust it. 307 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 3: So the next question I had for you is what 308 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:35,279 do you look for? Since we're in the subject, what 309 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,440 do you look for in an RV park? 310 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 4: I look for one number one, it's clean. It's got 311 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,720 to be clean. I look for at the site. The 312 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:54,480 site has to be level, it has to Privacy is 313 00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:56,919 not really an issue with me, But I don't like 314 00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:59,639 being stacked up like cordwood. They've got to be spaced 315 00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:01,399 out of a little bit. When I'm in right now 316 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:03,480 is kind of close, but it's just the way it is. 317 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,119 Because we made our reservations a little on the late side. 318 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,480 But I look at that. I look at the we 319 00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:13,079 call to make our reservations. We never book them online. 320 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,839 We call to make our reservations, and if we have pictures, 321 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,720 we'll look at the pictures and see what we think. 322 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:22,319 But I think the biggest thing for me when they 323 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,680 answer the phone if they're not friendly. Yeah, I ain't going, agreed. 324 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,079 And I like one of the swimming pool and laundry facilities. 325 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 3: Gotcha, Now there's no swimming pool here. 326 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 4: Well, I like. I like this place because I've been 327 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,799 coming here, like I said, for twelve years anyway, And 328 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,920 I know Rick and David, not personally, but I spend 329 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,119 time talking with Rick quite a bit. He's the one 330 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,200 that runs this place. I think he runs this place. 331 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,079 He never says really exactly. 332 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,039 Speaker 3: If it's like a mystery who owns this place? Yeah, 333 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,799 I agree. Yeah, But now did you notice there's something 334 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,000 this RV park that most of them don't have? No 335 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,000 fire pits? 336 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you never. 337 00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:11,039 Speaker 3: I mean I I don't think I've been in any 338 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,160 other parks that have fire pits like these guys do. 339 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,039 Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what. It don't bother me. 340 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,279 Speaker 3: But yeah, well I don't use them that much. But 341 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,240 when I it's once in a while, it's like just 342 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960 people must probably agree a little bit. Once in a while, 343 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,839 you just in the mood to just build a fire 344 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,039 for a couple hours and just stare in it. 345 00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:33,039 Speaker 4: And I'm gonna get one of those gas driven ones. Yeah, 346 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:34,599 we're going to do this is what I'm gonna get. 347 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,200 The thing I don't like about fire pits is, uh, 348 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,079 everybody likes to build a fire. So if you've got 349 00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:42,200 an RV park full of people and they're all building 350 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,880 a fire, you can't go outside, you can't open your windows, 351 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,720 you know what I mean. 352 00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:50,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so I haven't really got that. I'm here. 353 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 4: I'm against it. 354 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,039 Speaker 3: I think because we're close to the ocean, there's always 355 00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:55,079 a breeze through here, so it doesn't get smoky. But 356 00:18:55,519 --> 00:19:01,200 exactly what you're talking about, and even this year, we're 357 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,359 finding people may know this. If you do come up 358 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,640 to Washington, expect to have a campfire. They have shut 359 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,119 it down, even places that have been exempt. This place 360 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,880 is shut down too for the summer till September first, 361 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,240 So no campfires. So if you've got a portable one, 362 00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:18,599 that's what you can use. 363 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 4: And what's weird is in this area there's a lot 364 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,799 of farming going on and although there's no burning here, 365 00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:29,799 you drive out through the valley and they're burning slash 366 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,920 like there's no tomorrow. 367 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: Yep. 368 00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 4: I just don't understand that. 369 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,839 Speaker 3: Especially, I mean, our fire danger is probably the worst 370 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,839 that's ever been I've seen in my lifetime here and 371 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680 I grew up here, and it's like, we need to 372 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,759 be really careful this year, So yes, we do. So 373 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,880 do you carry any traits or skills or hobbies that 374 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,119 you enjoy doing that you like to bring along when 375 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,000 you're arving. 376 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,599 Speaker 4: I got my dogs. I'll tell you that I got 377 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,200 my dogs. 378 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 3: I like to play with my dogs. 379 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 4: I got too chuahuas and Yorkie shits who crossed that 380 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,319 doesn't like other animals, so that's quite a challenge. She 381 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,920 likes people. She'll she'll, she'll come right up to you. 382 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:14,279 She really I'd never worry about her biting anybody or anything, 383 00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:18,039 but anything four leggeds she just don't go for. She 384 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,799 I watched TV. If a dog comes on the TV, 385 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,839 she barks at the TV. She goes nuts. 386 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: I tell you, there's no sneaking up on this guy's 387 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,880 RV because that dogs will let you know that somebody's 388 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,279 out there. So I was like, oh, I'm so sorry 389 00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:30,960 to disrupt you. 390 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then I'd like to keep my vehicles polished up. 391 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,440 So I spent a lot of time polishing. I've been 392 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,519 around that trailer three times. I've waxed that trailer three 393 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,079 times since I've had it. But as far as real 394 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,400 life hobbies, I retired out of the railroad industry and 395 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,119 so I was basically married to the railroad for thirty 396 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,039 eight years. And uh, I didn't have time for any hobbies. 397 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,960 So I'm going to pick some up when I get 398 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,839 back down to Arizona. The park. Come in. They've got 399 00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:03,359 a wood shop and they've got all those games, pickleball 400 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,039 and baseball and all that stuff. I'll get into that 401 00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:06,960 when I get down there. 402 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, so a lot of questions you come up with 403 00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:12,920 people that are retiring, and we won't go on death, 404 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,920 but some folks depending what like you and I are lucky. 405 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,839 We're both gonna have pensions. But that's a dying thing. 406 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,440 So are you lucky enough that your pension and then 407 00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,279 eventually with your social security going to be comfortable enough 408 00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:29,920 to be able to just live without having to do 409 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,559 like work, camping or anything. 410 00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:35,559 Speaker 4: Here's a cool thing. I never paid social security my 411 00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:38,319 my whole railroad career. We have what they call railroad retirement. 412 00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:42,279 And I'm not making a whole lot less and I wasn't. 413 00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:43,519 Speaker 3: I was working. Oh good for you. 414 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,079 Speaker 4: I haven't had to touch any of my savings or 415 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,359 my four or one and every or anything. Yeah, so 416 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,000 I don't think my particular case, I don't think it's 417 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,680 gonna be an issue. 418 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,039 Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, it's so we understand out there is 419 00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:03,720 different for everybody. It depends up some people don't have 420 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:08,240 a pension, or maybe they had a medical emergency and 421 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,839 wiped out their savings and and things. So it's it's 422 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,480 always people always curious of like how can I do this? 423 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 4: And it's easier than people think. That's all I can say. 424 00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:22,759 It's easier than people think. Make a house payment or 425 00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:26,319 make a rent payment on your space, and it's it's 426 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,079 about a third. 427 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 3: I agree. I agree so much. So now we've gotten 428 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,799 this far. So now you've gotten this far along, you've 429 00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:37,960 had twelve years just doing a regular art being and 430 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000 now you've got about two weeks of full typing so far. 431 00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:44,160 What have been some of your lessons learned? 432 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,079 Speaker 4: You know, I think I learned all my lessons before 433 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:53,400 I before I started full timing. And then as every 434 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,400 time I go to a different park, if I see 435 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,599 somebody doing something like dumping a toilet, for example, I 436 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,440 sort out all the bs and then go with what 437 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,359 I believe in or what how convincing the individual is. 438 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:18,200 And I can honestly say that I haven't had any whoops. Yeah, 439 00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:19,640 I really I don't think I have. 440 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,039 Speaker 3: I don't think I've already had many big ones. But 441 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,519 I'm fortunate enough to watch videos all the time. So 442 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:28,039 a lot of people make videos of their oops. 443 00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:28,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. 444 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 3: I was like, all right, I will do that. 445 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 4: One thing I didn't I do now that when I 446 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,079 when I had my bus, it had the flusher in 447 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,480 the in the black tank, and uh, I didn't use 448 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,400 it that much, and it plugged up on me. So 449 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:47,440 if anybody's. 450 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 3: Got the mat, no, it's not a macerator. 451 00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 4: Just hooked the water up and there's jets in the tank. 452 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,039 You got it. There's jets in the tank. You hooked, 453 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,240 hook it up and then it washes. 454 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: Oh that's how you're talking about. Okay, gotcha? 455 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:01,079 Speaker 4: Yeah? 456 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 3: And so the water flesh, yeah cha, not plugged up? Really? 457 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,079 Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if it plugged up because the 458 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,920 water that was in there corroded the I don't know 459 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,839 how it did it, but all I know is I 460 00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:18,960 put ninety pounds of air against it. Wow, didn't even 461 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,559 break it loose. 462 00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 3: Huh. I've never heard of that happening. So there's how'd 463 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,720 you get it open? Again? 464 00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 4: I didn't. You didn't. I traded a bus. I let 465 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:29,799 somebody else do it. 466 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: That was the bus. I thought it was a curtain unit. 467 00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 4: Okay, So now I run this one once a week. 468 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,440 I fill my tank up, I drain it, I shut it, 469 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,480 and I filled my black water tank up until it 470 00:24:43,519 --> 00:24:45,599 gurgles a little bit. Or I'll stand there with you 471 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,960 with the toilet thing down so I can hear it, 472 00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:50,519 and then I dump it. I do that three times. 473 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 3: I think that's how you do that today? Didn't? 474 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 4: Yeah? 475 00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:55,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, Boy, that guy's running around his rig. 476 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:55,920 What's he doing? 477 00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what That's what I do, no trouble. 478 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,279 I learned that from a guy in Kingman, Arizona. 479 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: Now would you agree? I've heard this a couple of 480 00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:08,759 times with black tanks. The trick to keeping out of 481 00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:11,640 trouble with those is keep them lots of water and 482 00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:13,680 lots of water, yep, lots of water. 483 00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,839 Speaker 4: I guess they make this stuff now that each toilet 484 00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:22,000 paper liquifies toilet paper and everything. So I've yet to 485 00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:23,160 see I've yet to try. 486 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,079 Speaker 3: It seems like everybody that's always a big issue is 487 00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:29,720 about dealing with the septic and yeah, really I agree 488 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,519 that is always I mean, even when you're fleshing it, 489 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,480 just keep pouring water, just keep warting water in. 490 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, you get yourself on the turd turd pyramids. You're 491 00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:42,200 in big trouble. 492 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: That's right, exactly, big trouble. Yep, yep, yep. So we're 493 00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:49,799 almost done here and we I really appreciate your talking 494 00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:52,640 to us. Yeah, so what's in the future. 495 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 4: Well, we're just gonna how was it? Uh, never remember 496 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,559 any any of that damn place can't up in the world. 497 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,319 Just the other day and I bought one of them 498 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,359 US maps, and my goal is to color every state. 499 00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: Oh neat, it's my goal, so as is the now 500 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,599 you were from Washington, so all of us have to 501 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,559 start thinking about going to warmer weather. Either way. 502 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 4: I'll be in Arizona for September first to wow, right 503 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,880 around the first part of September, I'll be there. It's 504 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,319 only twelve days. 505 00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 3: It's like next month we go full time living in 506 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,920 our rig and it's like, oh my gosh, how I 507 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,559 got two weeks left?

So 535 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,400 what message would you give to people when is thinking 536 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,920 about our being into any preventative things that make it 537 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,839 easier as time goes on. 538 00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 4: The sooner the better, I agree. I'm I mean just 539 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,000 thinking about it. I don't have to worry about pulling 540 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:25,839 any weeds anymore. I don't have to worry about mow 541 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,119 my lawn. I don't worry about keeping up my house. 542 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,799 There's nothing I have to worry about. Although I've got 543 00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:33,559 my stuff in storage, so I got to worry if 544 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:35,680 somebody's in there messing with that, but I don't think 545 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,359 they will. And the preventative wise, you need to keep 546 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,880 your vehicles up. That's the big thing. You need to 547 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,400 keep your vehicles up. I just did some work on 548 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,680 mine yesterday. When I pulled out the garage, I got 549 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,720 the damn engine light on and it it just standed 550 00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:57,720 up to be a glow plug. And the last time 551 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,759 I had the engine light. I didn't think to run 552 00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:05,000 the coat against it, and I think I paid a 553 00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:07,759 Chevy dealer a couple hundred bucks and change that glow plug. 554 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,960 I did it today for eighteen So yeah, yeah, So 555 00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:17,359 you need to keep your vehicles up and don't pinch 556 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,519 any pennies, you know, because once you're out there, you know, 557 00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,160 you're cruising out through the middle of nowhere, and then 558 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,000 pennies you pinched all of a sudden decided to the 559 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:29,839 pension's over, then you're in big trouble. So to me, 560 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:34,119 it's all about maintenance, keeping your stuff up. 561 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,279 Speaker 3: Yes, this pho, this gentleman has your background has been 562 00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:42,000 mechanical most of your life, right yeah, worked. 563 00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 4: On locomotives for twenty years. 564 00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:48,079 Speaker 3: So very very good advice. So I can pass that 565 00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:54,319 is keeping the running gear at top shape and. 566 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 4: In your trailer, in trailer or whatever you have. 567 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 3: And he's saying sparing no expense. I agree. 568 00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 4: You know, when it comes to that kind of stuff, 569 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,160 cleanliness and next to godliness because while you're cleaning, you 570 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,759 might find something you need to fix. You know that 571 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,519 that's to me the biggest thing, you know, the fun 572 00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:16,119 you'll have while your cruising and all that stuff will 573 00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:21,720 come with will come natural. If why you're cruising, you 574 00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:23,279 can depend on what your cruising was. 575 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: Does that makes sense makes sense to me? Yeah, maybe 576 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,640 that's somebody who's going in it hasn't got a rig yet, 577 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,039 but it makes sense to me a lot. So well, 578 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:37,119 I want to thank you so much. You go by 579 00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:37,720 Bob right. 580 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, Bob with one Oh. 581 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:48,599 Speaker 3: Anyway, he's actually a milestone for us because he's actually 582 00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:52,160 one of our first interviews for RV Talk Radio.

He showed me his 603 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,160 water softener, but it was a filter, and so I 604 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:53,400 explained to him. 605 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,519 Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, you're absolutely right, the water stuff down here. 606 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,200 What's the game?
