We recently did a quick trip up to Seattle so that I could teach a training class for one of my clients. We had to get back much quicker than we were originally planning, so that we could start on our new work contract back here in San Francisco. On the way up, we of […]

Sleepless in Seattle
We have arrived in the Seattle area, and have now spent roughly 36 hours traveling full time with Kiki the Kitten. We reorganized the Jeep before departing Oregon, and made it so her new cat carrier would fit nicely (and securely) in the middle of the back seat. She and her siblings had been raised […]
Meet Kiki
Meet Kiki, one of the kittens that M and family raised from the time the litter was about a week old when their mama went missing in action. Kiki was the sweetest of the bunch and seemed to take to both Chris and I pretty quickly. She’s spending the day in the trailer with us […]
Planning Forward
So far, the only concrete plan is that the training classes I need to teach up in the Seattle area are set for December 5. So, we’ll likely leave out of the Bay Area sometime this weekend and start a leisurely meandering up that way. Anyone between San Francisco and Seattle want to meet up […]
Suction Cup Solutions
After living full time in our Oliver Travel Trailer for a few months now, I’ve come up with solutions to some of our everyday practical organizational problems with living in such a small space. Having a fiberglass interior makes the use of suction cups quite appealing. Things attach *really* well without making permanent modifications or […]
Jeep Life (YouTube Commercial!)
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now… A few months ago, I received the following comment on this photo found in my Flickr set: Hey did you guys know this pic is in a jeep commercial? I was thinking about getting a tab and have seen your pics before and as I […]
The Two Day Nap
We pulled out of Nyla & Keith’s on Friday afternoon, got a few errands run in Fallon and then headed out of town. We had a few destinations in mind on they way back to Sacramento in order to get a day or two alone together before reemerging into civilization. We stopped at the first, […]
Initial Post Campaign Plans
We just completed shutting down our make-shift campaign office and loaded up, and are getting ready to head out of Fallon. We may not make it much further than the local county RV park for the night, however. Our most pressing need is to dump our tanks, but other than that – we’re both still […]
Obama Yard Signs
When we left the Carson City Campaign for Change office almost 2 weeks ago, the only signs available were small rally signs. We took one as our ‘yard sign’. It was also snowing when we left, I had a blast playing in it. After we arrived in Fallon, we were able to pull up in […]
