And HOWDY right back Javi! Things are going well. We were all just wondering about you the other day. Glad to hear from you and hope all is well. See the trailer is up for sale; hope it's just to get a new one and not due to any further medical issues.

Yep, we decided that it's time to sell ol' triple 3, it's been a tough year and we just aren't able to use it anymore. I've been going over to the storage facility every couple of weeks and checking everything, running the slides in and out and turning stuff on and off... Every month I hook up and tow the trailer in a loop around our town (20 - 30 miles) to keep the tires from getting a set but that's it.

Work is getting better and I've hired a mini-me to learn what I do so I can at least take a day off..

But the wife was diagnosed with cancer in January and then diabetes last month so she's having a rough go of it..

We haven't given up hope that we'll be able to camp again one day soon, but for now it isn't the priority..

Y'all be good...

I'm sorry to hear that Javi. Hope you sell the trailer soon and get that worry off your back. BTW, DW was diagnosed with cancer 9 years ago this year and after a rough patch seems all is well now so tell her to keep the faith and be positive. Oddly, when DW was diagnosed with cancer afterwards she became diabetic as well. Hang in there; our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your wife.

How interesting, same here. DW 8 years ago had cancer, beat it but now borderline diabetic.

All the best to both your wives.

Thanks for the well wishes, she's handling it pretty well. The biggest issue is the fatigue, she just gets excited to about doing stuff and then can't...

Sending our thoughts and prayers your way. DW & I have had our share as well. Hope she gets relief and feeling better soon. We didn't get out at all last year due to DW health and were looking forward to this year then Covid so hoping schools reopen this fall so we can hit the road.

Plus a fellow Texan! Hey Javi, your wife will be in my prayers for healing. Getting old is getting old and doctor visits are more frequent than having fun. Take care of your missus... that is a priority el numero uno! God bless you and your wife!

DW said to tell y'all thanks... We're both hanging in there.

Got word today that my 96 year old mother has tested positive for the virus.. 11 patients and at least 2 of the staff in the facility..

Haven't been able to visit her since February when San Antonio shut down all the long term care facilities. And with her dementia she won't answer her phone.
