TVC - Day 84 - Forty-one

Every month at this time I take time to think about how long we have been living our lives on the road......August 1st marks the 41st month of our nomadic life, and the 53rd month of living full time in our 1982 Newell.  In that time we have learned the value of down sizing.....living with less stuff, and living in a smaller space.  I know living in a tiny house is not for everyone, but it is certainly for us.  As each month passes into history it becomes more and more difficult to believe we lived for decades in a 'sticks and bricks' home with all the attendant workaday stuff that ever so slowly sucks the life out of you hour by hour, day by day, month by month, year by year.......as I have written on more than one occasion in retrospect it.....that life we used to live.....seems like someone else's life.  

The first few months we began to find out what we didn't know about this life, but none of it changed anything about our love for changing our view on a regular basis.  There were problems here and there that we overcame......just a few weeks on the road and our engine water pump failed.....just a week into our journey and we had to replace 6 air valves for our rear suspension....we had electrical issues.....all of these things I learned I could fix myself, and with the direction of others I did just that......the one big thing we have avoided is a breakdown on the side of the road in the middle of no where.

There isn't anything I would change about our life....we are in that 'sweet spot' of our nomadic existence.....everything feels right.....we wake up everyday happy and content, and that is really all for which one could ask, isn't it?

Saturday was a lot like all our other Saturday's here at TVC......there was a threat of thunderstorms looming on the horizon, there were people departing and people arriving, but overall the most important thing is that Saturday was UNEVENTFUL......just the way we like it!

Thanks for stopping by!
