RE: Volunteering for a full timer
Many use a generic notice....the best plan of action is to contact the specific area you are interested in for current information.

RE: Volunteering for a full timer
Kirk is correct. I was instrumental in gathering information on refuges and hatcheries which utilize rver's and have sites for volunteers. Many are not on that list. Many are not listed anywhere, and it took much research to ferret out those that are not. My information was turned over to the appropriate person who was going to create a website, but that never happened.

RE: Why Would I Want a Bread Machine?
We fulltimed for 9 years and used my machine all the time. I wore out two while on the road :B I managed to find room for the bread machine and my Kitchenaid mixer......

RE: Ham Radio as a hobby?
There just aren't as many people on the air, now. as there used to be. It gets old just listening to white noise.
Wow, don't know where you are, but we have been all over the US and DH has never lacked for folks to "talk" to. He is very active on CW (Morse code) and works the world, literally. Right now he is working a fellow in east Russia......:B He doesn't lack for voices, either.

RE: Ham Radio as a hobby?
My DH did it for 13 years in a fiver....9 years fulltiming. The bedroom vanity area was his shack. Can't tell you about the equipment, but little was portable and he carried multiple antennas as well as at least 4 radios and associated equipment.
It is a terrific hobby and certainly fits with the fulltime life.

RE: Considering full-timing with 6 kids... are we nuts?
If you already have a TT, why not go on a 4-6 week trial run? You have the means to do that, and then reevaluate. It should give you time to see if it would work.
Question....do your kids get along, now? There will be no escape living this lifestyle and you can't just send them out to play and run wild in most cgs and parks.
I would think the constant noise in an extremely small space would be a deal breaker, but these opinions are just me......you will be working, what about your wife? She will bear the brunt of everything.

RE: Looking for leather punch
Beware of the cheap ones....the handle will literally bend if trying to go thru too thick material.....for light weight stuff it should last for that project.
I made harness and saddle items (tack). Tandy is where I bought my supplies.

RE: Anyone RV with House Rabbits?
If DH and I were retired and fulltimers camping, I probably would have a hen or two go with us.
As fulltimers for 9 years, I really would have loved to do this, but DH put the brakes on that one :E

RE: Anyone RV with House Rabbits?
We had a giant Lop that was leash trained. He loved his walks! I owned a pet store and he was the mascot and one of the stars! Also had a guinea pig leash trained and a betta who came to the side of the tank when summoned :B

RE: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
We were asked to leave a WW while waiting to get into a dealer's service shop.....we did and went across the street to an abandoned shopping center.....
BTW...we spent lots of $$$$ at the WW and ate breakfast at the fast food place.....we left home at 3 am and arrived at the dealer's (where there was no parking until the gates opened at 8am)about 7 am for a 8:30 appt.

RE: And the scams go on....
I posted this in ATC a few weeks ago
A bit of the history...
Last month I put a piece of furniture for sale on Craigslist. I got a response immediately and it was questionable, to say the least. Being the suspicious lady I am, I decided to play along. The deal was that I remove the item from CL, (I refused), and payment would come via UPS with enuf $$$$ to cover shipping (for a $450. piece of wood ) OK....it would come within a day or so, overnighted. Nothing for a week....emailed the person...no payment. Within a few days, I recieved 3 moneygrams for a total of $2,100
Naturally, being so suspicious, I hopped on my trusty computer and did some research on the moneygrams. Found a store in Boise, and they did a conference call with the main company. Found that all three were "washed". (Meanwhile, I was keeping notes, emails, etc on everything.) Once I found that they were really and truly fraudulent, I contacted the local Sheriff Dept. They send out our good friend and "adopted son" Jason and his partner to talk to me. We all ate homemade bread and went over the case. They took everything including the FedEx envelope.
Thought that would be the end of it. This morning I got a call from the Bridgeport, CT PD. A detective is working the case The stupid crook used his real name and address on the FedEx package
It will be interesting to see what happens, now......
Sometime a suspicious nature "pays" off

RE: Does anyone use the storage under queen sized bed?
Mama...ours has the lifts, as well, but once we changed the mattress to a really, really good one, I need to prop it up because it is too heavy for the lifts to keep it up. A board cut to length works well.
We also stored a few sentimental retirement items for my DH there :B We have friends who installed a floor safe under the bed. Ooooppsss, forgot, my guitar with the broken bridge was stored there, as well...:(
