My people have been hounding me to blog since I haven’t posted since we were in Cedar Key in January. Hounding. As if ‘hounding’ is effective encouragement for a cat! I’ve been busy – way too busy to blog. But if it gets them off my back and earns me a few treats, I guess […]

That’s 9a – 5a, by the way. We’re working around the clock, quite literally, on the re-write of The Mobile Internet Handbook.

Mobile Income Sources for RVers, Cruisers & Nomads: Jobs, Careers, Entrepreneurship and Workamping

After 4 years of traveling in smaller travel trailers and having just spent a winter living in the US Virgin Islands, […]
Bus Projects: The Master Tech Marathon
2015 Note: After our awesome 2014 experience documented below, we returned to Master Tech RV in Summer 2015 for a new paint job, hydronics installation, generator swap out and other projects.
