The rig still sits here in front of my house in Manhattan, but will have moved on by the day's end. I ended up with a couple extra days off of work, so am trying to make a bit more progress on the stick house. This afternoon, though, I'll be moving down to Wichita and back to work. May make a day of driving to go pick up the car in Lawrence and catch a bit of juggling with the KC group, but that largely depends on how early I get out of here.
I've been pondering my future use of an RV and think the next step is to downsize: I'd really like something that I could justify driving long distances for short periods of time (i.e.: to juggling fests). My current set-up consumes way too much fuel to justify such trips economically or environmentally, but if I could get ahold of something that got 15-20 mpg and could tote 6 people, I could really see myself camped in the parking lot at many-a-juggling fest. Don't know that such a rig would work for fulltiming, though: don't know that I'm willing to limit myself quite that much.

Back at it
I had totally forgotten that I'd started this blog until a friend visited and referred to her Blogger site. Having been reminded, though, hopefully I can try to post here regularly.
RV life has been good since the first entry, as it was leading up to that entry. For the past 3 months, I lived at Wagon Wheel RV Park in downtown KC...not far from City Market. Not the prettiest surroundings, but very cheap, and very near what has become one of my favorite parks down by the MO River.
Right now, the Coachmen is parked on the street outside of my stick house in Manhattan, KS. Drove back here last Saturday (29 May) just after my former tenants moved out so as to effect major repairs on the place. The plumbing is still out of commission in the house, so the RV is serving that need. I'll be moving to Wichita next, and have yet to reserve a site down there, though I'll be there mid-next-week at the latest, and tomorrow at the earliest (unlikely).
Since being here, it appears that the water heater has begun acting up again, and appears to be leaking...so much so that it's soaking the carpet on the floor in front of its access door. Also, my batteries don't last worth a hoot, so I've been charging them with a car battery charger using a long extension cord (since I don't currently have a way to plug in the rig's shore line).
Reckon that's all for now. Do remind me to visit and write here again, though.
