What are you still doing in Arizona??? We arrived in Arizona nearly 6 weeks ago. In that time, we’ve experienced only one day in which the high temperature was below 100 degrees, and many of those days in excess of 110.

I Live in a Bus!
Back in May while I was hiding under a bed, my people left me at my grandmeow’s in St. Louis. I knew something was up, as just a few weeks ago we got everything out of our Oliver Travel Trailer and put it in another vehicle, drove a while and then unloaded everything. But I […]
Bus Remodeling – The Answer Key
A couple days ago I posted a before and after picture of the bus’ interior, and asked how many differences you could spot. Honestly, the post was a feeble attempt at keeping this blog updated while we’ve had little energy for such things these past few weeks as we’ve been tackling project after project in […]

Our Mobile Technology Arsenal – Old
As technology enabled nomads (thus ‘Technomad’), our mobile technology arsenal plays a critical role in our chosen lifestyle. We’re both pretty high tech folks (and geeky gadget nerds), and we work in the technology industry. We also both need to stay connected to family, friends and clients via various mobile devices—as well as uploading our […]
Promise of Lithium #1: Lead Acid Battery Downsides
We’ve made a few teaser posts showing off our new lithium ion battery bank, but we’ve yet to properly explain why on earth we decided to venture off into such uncharted electrical territory instead of installing a more traditional flooded lead acid or AGM battery bank. This post is the start of a series explaining […]
