Gone Fishing – 2 Decades Ago I Took a Little Fishing Trip…

November 26, 2017 / Marshall / 6 Comments

July/August/September 1997 (no, that’s not a typo)

Now for something completely different. A look into past Marshall’s life. Something totally unrelated to what I am currently doing, or who I currently am. Continue reading →

Introducing Camp Addict – A New Kind of RVing Website

May 30, 2017May 30, 2017 / Marshall / 2 Comments

I’ve been quiet for the past couple of months on my blog, for good reason. Kelly and I have been working very hard on a new project. One that we are super proud about. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Continue reading →

I’m Not Quitting My Day Job to Become a Model

January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 / Marshall / 2 Comments

The morning of Kelly’s departure from the 2017 New Years gathering we had a photoshoot. Not because we are aspiring models, but rather because we needed some better pictures for our kick-ass website. Continue reading →

Trying to Put Bread on the Table

December 8, 2016December 8, 2016 / Marshall / 7 Comments

I just wanted to bring you up to speed on what I’ve been doing as of late. I (obviously) haven’t been writing blog posts, which means I’m way behind. Again. I’ve been busy working on a new income generating project. One that I’m going to ask for your help with at the end of this post (thank you in advance!). Continue reading →

Playing Catch-Up

December 3, 2015December 4, 2015 / Marshall / 8 Comments

I’m behind in my blog and I don’t seem to be able to catch-up to the current time. This bothers me. It’s an albatross around my neck which I don’t like. Currently I am three and one-half months behind and I don’t seem to be able to close this gap. Continue reading →

Last night I returned to my home after spending 27 nights away from it. That’s the second longest stretch I’ve been away from my rig since I started full-timing almost 5 years ago. Yes, my bed did feel good.

My new home. 42 foot 5th wheel. 23,000 pounds. A bit of a step-up from my 24 foot Lance trailer checking in at 5,700 pounds. . . Oh, did I mention it’s just my home for the weekend? 🤓

I’ve been doing my best to soak up the ocean before heading back to the desert for much of the winter. While the desert tends to have better sunsets, it doesn’t have this. 🤨

My first career was as an aircraft mechanic, specializing in piston powered helicopters. My last job was as a technical representative for Robinson Helicopter, the largest helicopter manufacturer. I left the position (and got out of aviation) over 17 years ago and haven't been back since. That changed a few days ago when I visited and spent some time there. Much has changed over the last 17 years, including tripling of the factory size. What amazed me was how many people are still there that I knew back in the day. 20 years later. With my chosen lifestyle, the thought of being at the same place for 20+ years is something that makes me all 😳. I completely understand why people do it. It's just not for me. Another thing that I found interesting was how many people said that I had lost weight. 😂

A quarter of a century ago, in my early 20's I moved to SoCal and quickly moved to the beach cities of the South Bay. Today I spent some time exploring some of the areas that were the scene of so many events (some life altering) of my young adult life. I found the apartment my wife was living in when I met her. Went past the house I occupied with a couple of buddies. Walked around the pier area that was the scene of too many consumed beers. Memories flooded back as I wandered. Things I haven't thought about in years popped into my mind as if they just happened. It was a very weird and wonderful few hours.
