What I am grateful for today....
Permalink  

So I was flicking through 'General' and noticed Cindy had closed a few threads (logically so), then I read her explanation.

tis a wonderful forum, IMHO, I am always so appreciative of folk that answer my questions and help me research more knowledge etc. 

I belong to other forums, but this is my fave. 

Thats all biggrinbiggrin

How,

I'm grateful for a great forum too but also grateful for this new life style on the road. It's been 3 weeks now and has gone soooo quick.

In my previous life I couldn't go without a shower every morning but I have just gone 14 days with no shower. The thing I can't work out in this new life of mine is, everybody stands right back from me when we chat, mmm  smile  I do have a good old fashioned basin wash every day though and go in the lake most days if the weather is good.  I don't miss the shower at all now. So I'm grateful for water too.

The future is looking great. Bring it on.

+1, Green side of the grass and happy.  smilesmile

Living in one of the Western democracies tops it all off.  Yay for Australia! That is akin to winning life's lottery every year. Although I have always worked for everything I got, but hey, that is all good too.

I had a tooth pulled out today, still waiting for it to stop bleeding.

I'm grateful I didn't have 2 pulled.

 In my caravan, 100amp battery. 10degrees outside n really cold winds. I've read all the debates, but got tv, lights, heater etc all on the one battery.... I'm happy as the proverbial (so is the dog!).

I much prefer Diesel...

 

the best are the Euro models and run on the smell of an oily rag, and are quieter..they have been around for a longest time

a lot of kits don't have mufflers in them so keep an eye out for that...
