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.

Before we got to carys, we stopped at globial solutions to see chuck odom, globialsolutions.com, and get our satellite working. We just cant get the hand of it. He moved the filter to the opposite side of the opi and he got a satellite signal. If he can do it, we can do it, we know have a better understanding of how it is done. We headed to garland to see the grandkids late in the day. we played with the grandkids and kids and had a good time. The visit was just to short. We will have to make up for it in oct.

We left in the am for garland. But we got to weatherford and stopped to get the roof ac units checked. They were not blowing cold air. We went to the ford house but ended up at the place that did our electric brake controller. Since
these units are not “serviceable”, the connections need to add freon are not installed. After they were added, freon
was installed to get us some cold air. More on this later. With this fix, we headed to garland to see sons family, and
my grandkids. We stayed the night at the cowtown rv park in aledo. It was to late to go on to garland.

Left this am and headed toward dallas. We drove to lamasa, turned south to big spring and on to the fly j west of Abilene where we spent the night. We gassed up the night we got there and will be ready to go in the morning.

Much the same as Sunday. We went to jims to access the internet. Went over to dads and found him to be in good mental condition. His physical condition is good for his 86 yrs. Appears jimmy is jumping to conclusion about dads mental condition. He is a bit dirty but most elderly don’t bath daily. Dad is ok. this was the purpose of the trip.
The mail came Wednesday so we can leave Thursday. Be glad to head back toward garland.

Not much to say. We stayed sat and sun at jims curb. We will check out the park where we can park and have full hook ups. Sort of. We did go to the park Sunday afternoon and found we can have electricity. We can get water but we hve to move, still in the park. To get the dump part, we have to drive to the park on ave d. where we are, the dump is closed cause of the local cheese factory messing up the waste treatment part of the water system. Best part of thie is its free. Yea!
