STOOPID KAMPGROUNDS

[boxcarOkie]

Who sez "absence makes the heart grow fonder?"

These RV campgrounds are getting so selective, hopefully someday they are going to realize that they need us more than we need them, if you stop and think about it. 

Strictly speaking for myself here, thankfully I don't run campsite to campsite or spend a lot of my time hanging on the pole. 

If they don't like my bus, that is okay, I will take my tired old hoopie and my disposable income somewhere else.

No skin off my nose.

Just thought I would vent a little as it is has really started to irritate me somewhat. That, and the fact that Little Eagle Guy Who Cannot Fly is now ignored by three more people than me, and he isn't even trying.

I present to you a mystery. 

"My bus is 40ft long and I pull a 16ft trailer, my overall length is 74 feet." 

Must be the "new math" my grandson was talking about.

Here's the full text of my post...
My coach is 40ft. Eagle, I pull a 16 ft trailer and the wife drives are "classic"  1995 Tahoe. total is 74ft + I have never not found a place to park where ever I have gone in 11 years of full timing.

you never stop do you.... add the length of my car dipstick.

you really need to get a life, what happens at Facebook needs to stay at Facebook ya creepy stalker.

now i'll go back to ignoring your sorry personality.

PS say something in defense of Ros and maybe you can catch up with me. I gained 5 ignores trying to support him.

[eagle19952]

Well I have 9 now and didn't have to do anything...I guess it's sacrilegious to respond to you.

Oh well. No skin off my nose.

[boxcarOkie]

I used to be indecisive ... Now I'm really not so sure. 

Okay I will take a stab at it anyway.  You are 74ft and ONE DIPSTICK long. 

Noting you are once again "on the  move" I will try hard to catch you as you are now up to nine.

Here goes:  "I like ROS ... He reminds me a lot of Eagle 19952." 

Forget the Stoopid Kampgrounds thread, we now have a potentially new subject ... If you check your profile and are being ignored by three you are normal, if it is more than three, seek professional help (Dr Phil doesn't count).  Mine currently stands at five, what does that tell you?   

Now let me see, I am 40ft long on my bus, 24ft long on my trailer, my wife drives a 15 ftTahoe, I have a pickup (short-bed does that count?), John Deere tractor ... 4 of them have dipsticks ... subtract one, carry the three ... Wow!  I better swing wide at the fuel pumps when I leave, whadya think. 

That sound about right?

P.S. I have been saying "Watch those Right Handers" for years, guess I was ahead of my time after all. 

First one to twelve receives the full set!

Pretty evident "this" isn't going anywhere productive any time soon.  Try this instead.


Have been home about a week now, back in "the swing of things" familiar surroundings, smells, routines.  It is always nice to get away, and believe it or not, I am ready to head out again.

On the other hand, the wife is not.

Driving to town yesterday on the Super Slab to purchase even more LED's to light up the Mothership and perhaps attract Charlie Sheen, I looked over at my bride and said, "You ready to do it all again?" and her answer was a firm, resounding "No!"  (What else would you expect from a woman who has thirteen episodes of Date Line on her DVR?)

There seems to be no wanderlust in the woman's soul, she will never make a good trucker.  One thing I have noted that definitely hinders her, is her inability to make up her mind on what her super-secret-CB-code name will be.

This could very well be a problem. 

Back in the day, as a friend of mine always puts it, we would find me hauling apples out of Washington State to Dallas or dead-cluckers out of Arkansas to the West-coast.  So I am used to the road, it is always calling my name, like a lover in the dark.  I often think of it, even today, it is right there, just four miles down the road from my little Goat Farm in Oklahoma.  

But as with all things in life, it has changed.

Folks talking on Cellphones, Texting, throwing Chicken Bones out the window.  CB Radio is now void of good chatter, a lot of people on there speaking Farsi or Spanish, not a whole lot of interesting things being said (unfortunately it all sounds like gibberish to me).  To be candid about it, I am not sure where they are from, but pretty much sure it isn't Birmingham or Atlanta.
 
Most of the Road Monkey's (Professional Drivers my butt) out there are not as courteous as they used to be, and the volume of traffic has increased exponentially over the years to where it gets downright crowded at times.  Not only on the trucking side of the scale, but on the travelers side, I note a big change.
 
Could be the influx of immigrants (illegal or otherwise) filling the roads of America.  A great many folks now are driving, owning a motor vehicle in this country, for the first time in their lives (which was impossible in their country of origin).  This has definitely proven to be a challenge for some of them.

Take the woman we came across in New Mexico recently. 
This woman is driving for first time on the highway.
Her husband calls her cellphone and says:
"Be careful honey, It's just been broadcast on the radio, that someone is driving opposite to the traffic on the highway..."  She replies: "Someone? These idiots are in hundreds!"
(yeah I know, but whadya expect for free anyway)

Slowly I am learning to move amongst them and still do my thing.  Sharing the road with some who clearly do not know how to drive.  Which is fine with me, if I have learned anything in all my years, it is how to be flexible and adapt to change. 

These days, I am more than willing to share the American Highway with all of them.  Just wish they would stop throwing all of their trash out the window.

Watch them Right-Handers.

Bus nuts that is----though for me the nuts came first.  Jack

[RickB]

Now this is a wandering thread that is worth reading!!! Laughed my @$# off


In case any newbies needed any confirmation that folks here own buses and are certifiably nuts. This should settle any doubt.

She is probably watching to see when you show up on the "To Catch A Predator" episodes.

We're all here, cause we're not quite there

I'm still waiting for someone to drive into a brick wall and then the cop asks him or her what happened and/or why did they do that. "Well the GPS said the road went thru here."

[MightyThor]

You guys are wimps, I made up a fairy tale and got banned from a different web site.  Now that is the way to maintain your popularity.

[RickB]

That's it... I'm ignoring myself. I have a great template, I just think what would my wife do?
