Vaping across the Lower 48
So far, every flavor of juice we have tried is awesome...not a dud in the group. And it really, really stretches the $$, too!
Still no word on when they'll be letting Pirate go...hoping it's SOON so we can buy the 'Hauler!!

I’m here to say, “My Mommy isn’t smoking anymore! Shoutin’ from da rooftops!”
I’ve avoided over 300 cigarettes! Wahoo! That’s way cool. Saved over $50, but spent much more than that so far…should flip the other way here in another couple of weeks. I can’t put a dollar amount on my health, though. I’m sleeping better, don’t stink! and my stamina is returning. It’s easier to breath, I’m not panting at the top of the stairs…yeah!!
I did order another set of batteries for myself, as I find I am a ‘chain vaper!’ lol!! I just wish a battery would last longer than 20 minutes…
We still haven’t heard from Pirate’s boss, so we still do not have a time frame. We plan to be outta here soon, hoping May, but for sure by September. Can’t wait to see YOU on the road!

Blu E-Cigarettes
So, yeah…WOW! We got our Blu e-cig in the mail on Thursday, and today is Sunday…yesterday I smoked 5 ‘real’ cigs (analog) and only because the batteries do not last very long…especially if you carry them in your pockie…not good! We also discovered that you need to pull or drag slow-slow-slowly and you will get lots of ‘smoke’ or vapor.
Just think…no smoke smell infiltrating the RV!
No emptying ashtrays!
No pulling over to smoke!
No 2nd hand smoke killing our pets and each other!
No smelly hair or clothes!
No more tobacco stained fingers!
No more forking over mass amounts of $$$
No more searching for lighters!
No more taxes!
No more teacher’s dirty looks (had to see if ya were paying attention!)
No more hacking!
No more gross things being coughed up…that maybe were important body parts>>
No more worrying that after I smoke, then pet, Willie that he will be licking nicotine off his coat.
IN No more bad breath
No more being told where I can and cannot smoke!

Tracie is with me 24/7 again!
Jerrett Spaeth at Monarch Tattoo in Kennewick, WA does it again…makes me cry! Good tears, though….all good. Now my little girl is always with Momma! Still waiting for Pirate’s boss to come to the table with a retirement offer….we cannot ‘hard plan’ until we know that date…GRR! Come on, Doug!! Let my Pirate GO!!

Portrait of my Tracie

Willie keeps us laughing
The pic isn’t too clear, as Willie is moving…but he has a new trick of popping bubble wrap between his front litty kitty teeth…LOL! Little goof fell of the windowsill today and hurt his foot. What the heck am I gonna do when I panic and don’t have a trusted vet to call?! Now that Boone has passed, I’d thought less and less about veterinarians.
Our friends keep getting laid off all around us…and here we are, WANTING Pirate to get laid off. We are so blessed to have been planning for as long as we have. I had thought at first, wow, we’re jumping the gun…but I am thankful we have a plan and clear steps to follow. We decided almost a year ago that this was what we wanted to do…and even less time that Pirate has been totally onboard with it. Everything just keeps coming together, though!
Boone’s death, having the Beast fall into our laps, Tracie moving to Idaho….God is just kicking the roadblocks out of our way before we even know that they are there. And we get to start practicing Skype with Tracie, so we’ll learn that program and get the other two kids hooked up with web cams.
I visited my TFL (Twinsies for Life) today. My Bug lives in a 26 ft travel trailer. I got a ton of good advice for when we are full time. I’m getting so excited to pare down, give/sell/toss a lot of these accumulated trappings of stix n brix life. Pirate and I have been minimizing for so long…about 10 years, that we really pity our friends who are getting their ‘freedom’ dumped into their laps. There is an awakening happening across America and we’re just so blessed to have not been caught asleep at the wheel.
Hoping to hear from Pirate’s boss soon about his retirement package/plan!!
