Off topic....let's leave politics out

Nobody reads any other sub forum so I'll post it here.

I currently live full time in a DRV Mobile Suites 5th wheel in an old fogie park in AZ. I love it, best damn decision I ever made.

Going to buy a retired school bus and completely remodel it into a camping beast of an RV. The 5er is great, but a pain to move and set up as I go camping often.

Any other rv'ers or campers here?

 

Google DRV....they are nicer than many houses. My Coin collection was very good savings plan

 

Not true, but I doubt anyone here is going to worry about it.

Cool. It's good to hear you're happy.

You decent mechanical-wise? By that I mean can you repair stuff yourself? If so, do what my boss does and always be on the lookout for garage sales so you can pick up tools and parts. Try to keep spare parts on hand that you know you'll need, like belts, an alternator, starter...that sort of thing.

Not me, but it's sounds like a blast. Have fun!

 

Am not really handy at home improvement but welcome the challange.

 

My daughter/son-in-law have a 5th wheel.

 

If you ever decide to make your way up to the Houghton area, I'd be willing to meet with ya. There are a few places that should be able to handle a bus. Houghton has an RV park on the waterfront, but they seemed small to me. There are a couple of state parks that might work, Twin Lakes and McClain's come to mind, though in all cases you'd have to visit their sites online to find out more. If you do, bring a guitar. I play, but mostly my own stuff. I was an excellent singer at one time, and should still be able to belt out a few tunes, even sans-teeth lol

 

That's fantastic youbplay guitar. I play mostly blues, as lot of slide. Robert Johnson, Muddy, Etc.
Am always open to blues jams. The best part of RV living is the freedom.
Turning 56 soon and plan to chill.

 

A friend of mine does Hendrix, "12 String Blues" perfectly. The street he lives on might be tough for a bus to park on, though it can be done lol. He's great at jams. As for Robert Johnson and Muddy? Hell yeah, I'd love to see you and my buddy play that shit. His house is known on that street as the house of rock, but he's an excellent guitarist and loves to jam. I'd love to hear some slide from ya too. I was tempted to do that myself, back in the day. I know I could learn a bit from ya.

 

As we get ready to sell our house and retire, my wife planned to buy an RV of some type or a 5th wheel and drive all over the country. No thanks! I hate driving, and I hate driving large vehicles. I did enough of that when I was younger. I love camping, backwoods mostly, not car camping so much, so my plan is to buy a cabin or a lake property and build a cabin on it. We would spend roughly May through September at the cabin and the rest of the time traveling overseas or living in the southern U.S. The kids and the eventual grand kids can spend summers with us. Once we kick the bucket, the kids can have the cabin for their families or they can sell it and buy their own properties. In my opinion RV's and such just decrease in value and increase in costs the longer you own them. Properties go the other way. Lookout retirement, here I come. Ahhhhhhh!

 

IQ....YouTube search mrhotsaucejack. I have a cpl vids of guitar playing years ago when I just started playing again after a 10 year hiatus. I severely injured my left hand and quit playing and decided to try playing again.

Yes, rv's go down in value but I love mobility. I do plan on buying a 36 acre parcel in the mountains real soon.

 

I'll look for them.

I myself don't play guitar too well. I decided a long time ago to learn to on my own, at my own pace and in my own way. I wanted to learn by ear and feel rather than chords and that's limited me considerably. I avoided playing other people's songs. I'll sing 'em, but I never tried to play guitar to 'em, with an occasional exception. I wanted to show my kid how to go about it when he was 5 or so, should he ever become interested in learning, so I put in a cassette of Judas Priest's and had him play and rewind the song "Breaking the Law" until I played it smoothly. It took about an hour and we both had a blast doing it. Other than that, I just tinker with short pieces. I eventually put together a bunch of them into one tune, and have settled on it's structure only recently. I haven't recorded it, since I don't have anything that does that, except maybe an old cassette player lol

 

Amazing. I did much the same. Judas Priest is bonus points for you!

I'm a SRV kinda guy, love the blues and style.

I smashed my fingers in a hydraulic vice and lost most feeling in my fingertips, lost hope, but determined. I play again and like it. My once vast guitar collection also helped fund my lifestyle, down to 2 now. A Stratocaster and that Gibson acoustic in the video

 

Found 'em. Yeah, you play well. My buddy plays that style too, and always has jam sessions.

 

Same here. I was playing for a pool league and we were in this tiny basement room. It had a jukebox in it and I put on "Little Wing" and air-guitared it in between shots lol

 

Ouch. My hand is healing but not enough to play right now. It'll heal in a couple days and I'll be back on my Harmony, an electric that a friend of mine got as a Christmas present back in 1980 or '81. He wrecked the thing, so I bought it off him a few years later to save it. It's a cheap model, bought at JC Pennies, but it's actually one of the better sounding cheap guitars and is somewhat sought after. I do have a couple of cheap accoustics but both need work and are unplayable at the moment. I need to carve a piece of hardwood and make a saddle out of it on one. The other one I scratched a ton of drawings on it, spider webs and such, and carved the Gun's n' Roses skull cross from Appetite of Destruction on the back of it. I played that one a lot back in the 80's and 90's.

 

Little Wing is an amazing song. YouTube search Kurt Lorange , he plays it on slide and it is amazing!

 

Buddy Guy for me. Even Keith Richards worships Buddy.
