One might say I'm more of a radical, than a rebel. Before our retirement tour began, I ate my first Chick-Fil-A sandwich, bought President Trump's MAGA hat, and got one of Mike Lindell's "My Pillow's" for our retirement tour. Sure, I could have brought my luxurious down pillow, bought a Glacier Park hat, or tried …
The “Friends and Family” leg of our journey.
Many of you have privately asked, "Where are you?" Well, no worries, I have not lost my mind, returned home, or decided to stop blogging about our retirement tour: our retirement tour has not ended! In fact, our old van has performed marvelously (We did need to get the power steering bracket re welded by …

Together Again!
Ok...where was I? Right! I didn't think I'd have much to say about my journey from Fargo to Sturgeon Bay, but as usual, life, the way God makes it, is always full. First I must say Fargo surprised me. Apart from its standing as a backwards place, full of half crazy mystical characters, the area …
To Fargo I Go!
On the road again After my drive through Montana, reading about my trip from Glendive to Fargo could be considered a disappointment. The drive to Fargo is all four lane highway, a very good one in fact. So, after bouncing my way along narrow roads to Glendive Montana I was ready for the freedom to …
Lonesome Highway
Made it to Glendive Montana! This morning the van started with the first turn of the key, it was 22 below. I had two block heaters on the oil pan; one 100 watts the other 200 watts. It was about 7:30 am when I fired up the old gender neutral beast; I have not decided …
A Change of Plan…
I was all ready to leave Monday, but the weather forecast changed and I read it is supposed to be -39° in Polebridge tonight with -55 below wind chills. Ouch! So I started to think of alternatives and asking God for the wisdom to make a good decision. Making America Great Again with Ania, lighten …
The Journey Begins 3.04.19
Well....After a mad flurry of preparations and long hours in my cold garage working on my Metro van, I'm heading out from Polebridge Montana to pick up Jackie, my love, in Wisconsin Monday morning. From Polebridge, our home, to Glendive Montana is 571 miles, the first leg. It's an absolutely beautiful, but barren drive. In …
Prequel – 1961 Metro Van Tour
I'm still working on a few last minute fixes before I head out to pick up Jackie. So until then, a few of you were interested in what the van looked like before I started the renovation. I've put together a mess of photo's for you to see below. I'll not bore you all with …
“An Articulate President”
"Unfortunately we don't have an articulate president!" This statement and critism about our president I saw in a Facebook thread this morning. It's mostly a true statement, and I'll not argue against it by itself or in context. But we should not confuse having the ability to speak fluently and coherently with having the ability …
Retirement Tour- In a 1961 Metro Van
Our van in the Polebridge July 4th Parade We're only days away from beginning our tour. I've only yet to set the timing, hook up the vacuum advance, air up the tires, install a cheap Chinese diesel cab heater, and pack up. Eight degrees of initial timing and no more than 34 degrees of total …
