Thursday morning we took Missy (our Shepherd), for a nice, long walk. There are a lot of amenities available at Santee Lakes, but walking Missy was the one we were interested in exploiting. They have a huge dog-walk all around most of the North end of Santee Lakes and over the years we have logged some pretty good miles on […]
Well, its about brunch time – we slept surprisingly well and by golly how about hash browns, breakfast sausage, and scrambled eggs cooked outside on the griddle? Heidi took her Mom to make an appointment, then they would be coming over to Santee Lakes so I asked that she text me when they were starting over and I would have […]
While we have had our (new to us) 2015 Travel Trailer since the middle of March, the only way to make darn sure everything works is to actually take it out and *use* it. I was able to get reservations at the Santee Lakes Park, Preserve, and Campground from 1 PM, April 22nd, 2019 – 12 PM, April 26th in […]
Please note: The work for this post actually occurred on April 11th, 2019. That big chunk of cold-rolled steel is pretty heavy, and needs to be protected. Additionally, outdoors you have to deal with wind, something new to my grilling experience. Ordered the new Hood from Amazon and it arrived the very next day. At about 1545, an Amazon delivery […]
I actually started this work on Sunday, April 7th, 2019 and am just now updating the old blog. Upon receiving our new griddle from Amazon, I was very excited, but knew it would be a spell before I would be able to actually start cooking on it. The first thing I had to locate was an old camp cooking table […]
Note: I actually ordered the griddle on the 5th of April, 2019, and am only now catching up and updating the old blog. As a young man in High School, I went to work as a cleanup boy for “B&H Burgers” in Norwalk, CA for the sole purpose of earning enough money to buy/maintain a car. Eventually I was able […]
Note: Knew I was in for a busy few weeks, want to point out the subject matter of this post actually happened near the end of March and preceded the last post. I have already played with boiling and baking in our, (still fairly new), All American Sun Oven – but have never tried using it as a dehydrator. Time […]
Last month, (March, 2019), we bought a 2015 Forrest River Salem Cruise Lite Travel Trailer, Model T231RKXL to replace our old 1996 5th Wheel. (We still have the old one, slowly transferring all of our “gear” into the new one that will fit). The old one is just over 30′ long, all of which is livable space, and the new […]
