Wandering Mike's Blog - The start.

So we will do the obligatory "who I am" bit later. For the moment, I am going to try and post some pictures for an easy way to send stuff out. Let's try the new (to me) Miata as a starting point. I guess you click on the picture to see a big image, but I think it is very big.



Ok, so it is a 2005 model. 14,300 miles or so. Tan Leather interior. Tan top. Bose stereo stuff. CD of course. Got it for a couple thousand under book price, but got only a thousand for the Green Ford van. But the van was on its last legs and needed a bit of work. I guess the savings in not getting a few things fixed has to be taken into account at trade in time. I like it so far. Not the oomph of the Honda S2K, but enough for an old geezer. I have a great top down drive to the office from when I am staying in the parks to the east of Allen, TX.

Which gets me to the next bit about why this is called Wandering Mike's Blog. The pic below is my residence. Yep, living full time in an RV. A small one at that. It is a 22 foot Coachmen Class C. Rear Kitchen. I have been doing this since November 06 (but a bit of the time until January was still wandering around staying in hotels in CA and WA as well as TX. One of the key reasons for the trade of the van was to be able to have a "toad" that I could pull behind this RV. Getting that equipment rigged up is the next step. Hopefully by the end of April so we can tool down to League City for Lola's birthday.


So that's it for now. We will try and keep this up, but we will see. Lord knows how many web sites I have started over the years.
