I’ve been looking for many weeks for a nice, safe, contained box to keep my work laptop and assorted work necessities well-protected and accessible. This, I absolutely love, but I’ve no need at all for the power options – it’ll be forever connected to our RV and its power.

I should call them and see if they’d sell just the box without all of the power/charging/distribution parts.

Broadband a “Core Utility”?

Broadband is a “core utility” like electricity, White House report says – Ars Technica

In particular, it calls out wired broadband. And I read the article from a wireless device, while in our house on wheels, parked in an entirely empty campground that has no running water or sewer hookups.

You know: core utilities.

Actually, this got me to thinking: we should see about getting the obscene cost of RV dumps lowered to something realistic and make potable water hookups more accessible.

RVing is, of course–as long as one isn’t constantly in transit–far less expensive than a house or apartment.

An RV Update

It seems like a lot of things fell into place the moment we closed on our house.

One huge thing that will change for us–aside, obviously, from the whole “unlocation” thing–is that we’ll also be upgrading our tiny, 17’ Jayco hybrid travel trailer to a much, much larger trailer. While we have stayed relatively comfortable for several weeks at a time in our trailer, we’ve never intended to make the tiny trailer our long-term unlocation home.

Saturday, we started making some calls to a few dealers to locate the specific trailer we wanted. After a bunch of calls, lots of questions, and several emails, we finally submitted a deposit with one specific dealer.

About three weeks from now, we’ll prep our little Jayco for its last long trip out to Indiana to be traded for a new fifth wheel.

Very excited and bit anxious–okay, a lot anxious. Hoping everything goes smoothly between now and then!

Envisioning The End

Have you ever wondered what would happen to all of your stuff when you die?

Too morbid?

Okay, have you ever wondered what value your things will have to other people when you move on?

To find out, gather up all of your belongings–all of the things and tools and toys and clothes and accessories of your life and your time–and pile them in your driveway some Saturday morning.

Then, with firm detachment, watch.

Just watch.
