The 2005 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We are fulltime RV's. This means we have no other home but our motor home. We joined the Escapees RV Club and use their mail forwarding service and forum. In addition to Escapees forum, you can find us on rv.net and lrv2.com. We are Richard n Shirley on all of them. We access the internet with a Direcway satellite dish mounted on a tripod. We do set up the dish at every place we stop for the night or more. We are #2321 on datastormusers.com. Click us and you will find our current location.

Shirley is back and the house is a dump. She emailed her dad and told him to pass. The place is next to the state hwy, has abounded trailers and such on the acreage. The house is a disaster. On to lovington, nm
arrived at jims this early pm. Got on the internet at jims and got our email. Got an email from the guy in arlington with ex-? And he stated he would help us with it. Since we are going to garland, we will stop in arlington and see him for getting a signal. Very frusting trying to get the satellite aimed.
We set the satellite up and again no signal. We are having our mail sent to jims. Should arrive on Thursday. Hen we can go back to DFW.

Shirley’s dad gets a shopper and in there was a tow dolly. Called the man and got the info. It has electric brakes.
Bought the dolly and towed it back to the house. Next stop is to get the car wired and a brake controller in the RV.
Shirley’s dad and I went to a repair shop and got a price to install the controller. I wired the car but it had to be partially redone. Got the brake controller installed and drove the car on the dolly and we were ready to go. Now we are waiting for the internet satellite to arrive so we can go.
