I forgot to mention...

We are going to be on your TV.  Wait, What? Yep.  This company heard our story of chasing a dream of ours and decided to make a commercial about us. Pretty funny I know. I cant say much but if you see us on tv in our "home" you should sit and watch. Or stand and laugh. Or whatever. We had fun and met some really cool people. Including sweeties stunt double, pictured below. Her name is Preston and she is a race car and drift car driver which has some of my single friends tumbling head over heals for now.  Also pictured is hair, makeup and wardrobe having their way with me, They called me the diva. The other commercial was about another couple who had a different story. She was a former miss California, After a few minutes in the makeup and wardrobe chair I informed the ladies applying makeup and wardrobe that I knew they had a former miss cali in this chair yesterday and that they had better be ready. I told them I was going to out miss California, miss California. I fulfilled that promise, both the wardrobe and hair and makeup confirmed me as the greater diva. I like what I like. But they do make you look good. It was fun. One of my favorite moments was when they mic'd us. Its so small and I forgot the mic was even there. We were off set, but still mic'd. I whispered to sweetie that I was thirsty, suddenly a person with a bottle of water for me appeared. That should have been my warning, but I did not take notice. Next I mentioned to sweetie that I need to "take a fucking piss" Again well beyond earshot of everybody on set, This time I heard a collective giggle from the 40 person crew. At this point our handler, yes we had a handler, came over to remind me that the whole crew could hear our intimate conversations. I laughed, nodded and immediately forgot everything she said, they took me to a mens room to leave a piss and shuttled me back to set where I continued to say inappropriate things about everything for the whole crew to grimace, or grin, through. They rented this !952 airstream to serve as our camper. The TV people were so cool, they gave us all of the props from the staged camper. Which is, in part,  why our camper is so cool now. thanks guys!

Camper remodel from hell, that turned into our dream space.

So I am not sure where to start. remodeling a camper is a nightmare that I would wish on my worst enemy. I thought I knew how to budget construction jobs as I have done so in the past. toss in the rv factor and the unknown becomes even more so. We work 10-12 hour Days so i figured 7 days top to bottom. With the roof the whole thing took 29 days straight.  The results speak for them selves but the job was by far the most tedious that i have ever taken on. By day three of prepping the roof for re caulking I had an idea. We dont need water boarding, just make them clean all the caulk off of a camper. I promise you will they will tell you anything, anything.  So after a solid month of work the camper is better than ever. solar panels. zen living and a nice new vibe. home.

Campers Happy.

the view from phoenix

winter in phoenix was amazing. the cactus bloom, the ocotillo flower, barrel and saguaro cactus all flowering. watching the sonoran desert come alive with birds and wildlife is amazing. Its a wonderful place at this time of year. You see the life of the desert thrive and begin to survive the brutal desert summer. At this point the windstorms have started. and we hunker down because of them.
