So I’m leaving Coos Bay, on my way to Eugene to check out a local mall and stay the night in their RV-friendly lot. I’m in the middle-of-nowhere, just checked out one of the viewpoint locations, and the battery light comes on the dash. Voltage is dropping, and I’m on a 2-line highway in the Oregon mountains.

Maintenance
Many days of travel are, “just fine”, or the weather may be an issue. With the White Knight though, it seems that I’m getting more than caught up on my share of maintenance and repairs while on the road. Continue reading Maintenance
And… I’m off!
The house has been cleared out, the trailer packed, camper loaded, and I’m on the road. The deck is on order, the rental management company is engaged, and the weather is slowing me down, as usual. Continue reading And… I’m off!

Fixing Things
I like fixing things, particularly in the “real” world. To have something look and function better after working on it is so satisfying, even if it’s small little things that are actually being changed. The White Knight needed to have a few things fixed up before I was fully legal to drive, so I took care of those things today. Continue reading Fixing Things
