Where is SueCanDo?

SueCanDo is sitting in "storage" in Spring, TX. Not receiving the best news when I wanted to sell her on consignment at PPL Motor Homes (they wanted me to list it for less than half what I paid just a year ago), I decided to take her to storage for 90 days and think about next steps.


So I brought a small trailer (which UHaul now says received a citation while I was pulling it???) filled with her stuff and a few things from Arkansas storage over here to Mesa. Taking a vacation from the perils of being on the road, having mechanical breakdowns, unable to get into some of the places I wanted to see ("too large", "rig too old", "dog breed not allowed"), I think taking a break and line dancing here at Good Life resort was the best option.


We often don't make great decisions when we are forced to make one NOW! So... practicing my mindfulness, thought I would just practice "no", "not now"!


Going on the road, while many are envious, think I am courageous or have told me I inspire them, is NOT all that fancy. You have the same issues you have if you drive, own a home or any other mechanical toys. Things break. Plans change. Costs are higher than expected or planned. I am not complaining, I only want you to be informed. When you purchase something that might break, ask yourself "who will fix it?" I had gotten pretty good at fixing my home when things would break. I kept my truck in good shape so it wouldn't break. Even my motorcycles, Miata and tractor were all in excellent working order. However, I have tested my resolve with a diesel-pusher, 20 yrs old, carrying a tin home on its carriage.


There are still places I want to see, just not sure I have the stamina to do it again in 38 ft pulling a pick-up behind me. I think a small van, or a tent may be just what I need next season. But for now.... we line dance! Yesterday was more than 4 hours of it! And then another hour of "core balance" which showed my muscles have atrophied living in a tin can! LOL


So SueCanDo is safe. Assuming the Houston weather will be kind to her, no big decisions are needed until Feb 8 when rent is due on her storage! Ya'll take care, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and be thankful for still being here, being able to plan your own adventures and explorations!

SueCanDo, named by a dear friend who departed this planet much too young, will strive to be a place for inspiration, clarity and enlightenment. My friend and I  had just reconnected and were having daily emails and weekly conversations that lasted long into the early mornings.

 

Still hundreds of miles away, I was looking forward to finally spending quality time with him after decades of missing his stories and hugs in person. A brief weekend in April, 2018, confirmed we were going to have many great adventures. Then he had an accident on one of his favorite motorcycles on one of his favorite roads after having just eaten his favorite hamburger at his favorite joint on 101 in northern CA. The shock has worn off, but I still miss what should have been.

 

So Mike, thanks to you and your "beady brain", here is SueCanDo, even without you the name lives on!

And, these are the Grand Adventures, after the Grand Purge, leading up to quality time with my Grand Babies!! This is a record for them to one day review and laugh with "Gammie"!
