Travel and the afterlife

My wife an I in the jungles of Belize a few years back. I was lucky enough as a young man to have joined the Navy and seen the World as they say. Off the top I'm not sure how many countries I have visited but it is in the dozens. Been to Europe most of Northern not the Southern countries.Central an South America. The Caribbean most of it including Cuba twice "Gitmo" and the Philippines and  Hong Kong, China and Vietnam. So I have seen a lot would like to check out India,Africa and Australia some day. Wait an see. I have had knives pulled on me several times in Columbia and in the Philippines luckily I survived and don't get me started on all the strange an sometimes dangerous activities I had the pleasure to survive. I've been lucky did a lot of crazy stuff,have a lot of things I'm sorry about but you have to go with the flow. When my time comes I will go with only the sorrow of missing all the people in my life,it has been and still is a fun ride for the most part. Really feel sorry for all the people who go through life and never get a chance to explore all the possibilities. My greatest love at this time is my wife Lorraine she is a true angel and if there is a heaven I know she will go there. As for myself? make that a big Question? But I don't worry about that too much for no one alive really knows where the afterlife takes us if any where ? I have faith that it is probably one with the Universe and that is fine by me.    

OMG my garbage disposal bit the dust an is bleeding out

Nothing like sitting home watching my favorite show "The Walking Dead" an this week  Mika an Lizza are gone. Shocked my God at least 4 or 5 kleenex tissues this was one of those shows that really hits hard.You know like last seasons Sons of Anarchy or Game of Thrones you get wrapped up in characters an boom they are dead. Anyway during this breakdown my wife rushes in to the bedroom I'm deep into The Walking Dead show and boom horrors. our floor of the kitchen sink in the cabinet has collapsed and smells of mold and is leaking water from the garbage disposal. Whats a man to do but 1. turn off the water don't use the kitchen sink 2. Plan how to fix this mess. Decisive plan is still up in the air for I feel the faucet an garbage disposal need replaced an still thinking about the reverse osmosis system. I think I just need to replace the filter but these things take time when your just a half ass plumber at best. My bad knees and back prevent me from doing much so sweet talk the #1 son to do the heavy lifting. Life goes on but damn did it have to be plumbing.   

RVing an what to do for the right RV at my age

This is our 25' Nomad we picked up a little over a year ago for a pretty good price. It is roomy even without a slideout can sleep 6 in a pinch and even has a heater and  AC. It has one problem and that is that it is big. It is not something I want to tow very far. For the local lakes an Arizona camping spots no big problem. It just not something I want to drag to Kali or even other close states,so what to do? I would really like to have a camper they are easy to maintain easy to drive around and I have owned several  in the past. My other choices would be a shorter trailer or maybe a used C class. Since I own a Toyota Tundra truck with a 5' 6" bed my weight an length are limited an nice campers for short beds cost big $$. A 16' trailer is going to be a lot lighter an easier to travel with, no problem on towing I'm good for up to 10K pounds for towing. The price range is a lot more to work with both new an used so the minor problem is parking it. I need to practice backing into spots. Now for the class C RV this is basically a truck with a camper mounted on the frame and it doesn't come off. Kind of like the Class A RV that is like a bus but a truck cab is apparent on the class C. Sometimes you can get a little older well maintained Class C for a good price only problem with Class C is that unless you tow a small car you have to drive the Class C everywhere so why not just get a trailer to begin with? I'm hoping to do a little traveling when my wife retires, and hoping I can stay healthy enough to do it. I'm already handicapped an tire out pretty easy so this gives me something to chew on till we decide which RV to go with.    

Easy cinnamon rolls

Directions:
• Make a dough recipe for one loaf of bread
• Divide it into 12 pieces
• Roll each piece flat (any shape works)
• Brush one side with plain water
• Sprinkle on a cinnamon/sugar mixer onto the wet dough (I used ¾ cup sugar and 2 tbs cinnamon for 2 loaves)
• Roll it up
• Let it rise for about an hour
• Bake for 15 minutes at 350F.

When placing on the baking sheet place the end flap of the dough down against the pan so it won’t open up. Cinnamon rolls are an easy an inexpensive snack, enjoy.
