I'm Working Part-Time

Just so there's no confusion, the "I'm Working Part-Time" title refers to Tom, not Nan. Nan wants a mansion, so I have to go back to work. Last week I started assisting the government on bank exams as an independent contractor. Actually this may work out well. They send me (and others) a list of exams that need more help. Those contractors that want to work send back a bid on the exam, and then the government picks the winners. I'm now in Michigan for 2 weeks. Next I go to Illinois for 3 weeks. After Thanksgiving I go to Florida for 2 weeks. While I'm working, Nan will be at her Mom's house in Chesterland, OH, soaking in the bathtub. Our plan is to buy a house in about 4 more years. So the more we can save, the nicer house we can get. It's a Win Win. I'll be taking the RV to Florida, but for now I'm staying in hotels while the RV remains stored in Chesterland. If the weather is warm where I happen to be working, Nan will be with me in the RV. If it's cold, then I go on my own and stay in a hotel, since we don't want the RV pipes to freeze and burst. If everything goes right, Nan and I will get to see the country, and it won't cost anyone anything (other than the taxpayers of course).

Leaving Jefferson, Ohio

Tomorrow morning we leave the Thousand Trails campground and go to stay with Nan's Mom for a while. This was one of the nicest parks we've stayed. We'll be back next year.

Yesterday Nan and I went to the wedding of a friend/co-worker of mine. I was told not to use real names in my blog because someone may steal their identity. Not sure how that's possible, but to be safe we went to the wedding of "Sheniqua and Anferny". Nan and I couldn't stay at the reception as long as we (I) wanted because it was a long drive back to Jefferson. That's too bad because it looked like it was going to be a lot of fun. This was based on the fact that when they introduced the wedding party, one guy was wearing the brides maid dress, and she was wearing the tux.

Today we drove around and looked at covered bridges in Ashtabula County. At one they were selling hotdogs for 50 cents. I tried to talk them down to 25 cents, but struck out. Tomorrow I winterize the trailer. I will be taking it down to Miami right after Thanksgiving, so it will be stored and unused until then.
