RV'n ups an' downs

Sometimes I have to sit back an' re-think what my mind is think'n.

Yesterday I was think'n bout buy'n a brand spank'n new bicycle. I even posted a pic of it. Even though it's a perfect bicycle for somebody what has lower back issues an' can't breath half the time, I've given this thought some re-hashing. Cost is the first hashing....$1200. Somebody gonna steal it off the back of "that jeep". But most important....will the old Billy Bob ride the damn thing?

I've pretty much give up on most of my hobbies that involve strenuous activity. There's only two left. Golf and fishing. That's all I got left an' that sucks.

With the weather warm'n up all over the country, I suppose I could be try'n to figger out where I might want to go. Started look'n at a few possibilities online yesterday. Got sleepy an' had to take a nap.

I ain't do'n so good as a wanderlust traveler this year. I could just fire this big sucker up an' go, but as most RV'ers know, that seldom works out. Destination means a lot. What happens between here and there is what makes the trip worthwhile. At present I have no destination in mind.

I been ask a few times if'n it's expensive to live full time in a RV. Well, yeah it is....an' yeah it ain't. Gas prices ain't got a thing to do with it....just in case ya want to know. The average full time RV'er travels bout 5000 miles a year, so gasoline (fuel costs) is probly  bout the same as you would pay for property taxes in a "medium income" stick house. Where ya camp has everything to do with it.

Most RV parks and RV resorts charge as much or more than your typical stick house payments. Destination is a determining factor. Take for instance if'n ya wanted to go to Disney World in Florida. Ya might as well park the RV, get ya some plane tickets an' fly to Florida. Rent a condo an' a rental car. But, if'n ya go the other way.....west, an' stay your ass out of California, you can live full time much cheaper in a RV.  Remember, ya can "boondock" a RV, but ya cain't a stick house.

Maintenance an' upkeep on a RV is way less expensive that if'n ya live in a stick house. Lawn mowers, call the plumber, new wash machines an' dryers, the roof leaks, paint peel'n, trash pick up, utility bills....you know what I'm talk'n bout....stick houses is expensive. Problem is though, RV's depreciate while a stick house will appreciate. A hunnert thousand dollar stick house will be worth the same or more in 10 years. A hunnert thousand dollar RV will be worth bout 1/4 what ya paid for it in 10 years. RV's are NOT a investment opportunity.

Ok, I'm slap out of blog material. Nuttin excit'n in Billy Bob's life. See ya laters.....
