When I remember a while back that someone on the board was asking for help in getting from one place in San Diego to another and you jumped in to
offer him a ride, I must say that I am doubly impressed to read that you live in Lake Elsinore. That's quite a drive to do someone a favor. Good on
you!

You must be up on the hill. Otherwise, you are looking out on the Ensenada de los Aripes--the correct name for the waters inside of the Mogote
sandspit, which is a carefully guarded secret.

Papa Was a Rolling Stone Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Temptations
It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth.
And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
Well, well.
Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
Uh!
Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, I guess we can claim to be real Nomads. Here's us and our 'house'.
And here's a shot of the back, just so people know what our preferences are.
As to where we're from; both of us started RVing from the Seattle area. We actually didn't meet until a few years later. Now the closest thing we can
call as 'home' is a cement pad in an RV park in the Brownsville, TX area; where we pause in our travels long enough to get caught up with our doctors
and make any needed repairs.
We are the ultimate 'Snowbirds', we go north in the summer and south in the winter. Our goal in life is to maintain a 65 - 85 daytime ambient
temperature, and to see as much of the world as possible while doing it.
Lately we have been exploring mainland Mexico but still try to get back to my first love, Baja Sur!

house
Mean people suck!

From an anthropological perspective, that's hilarious!

26 years in Redding, Ca at the extreme north end of the Sacramento Valley. Prior to that from birth Coronado, CA for 30 years, and a lot of places
all over this Country in-between. We have a second home in Independence, CA (Eastern Sierra) where my son lives full time and calls it "home".
Thanks to the Stock Market we don have any mortgages, and don't own anybody a cent, and haven't for about 12 years.
Life is REALLY good, especially in this Country.

I don't want to jump the gun. If I survive one more day through completion of the roof without going over the side, I'll have new faith in the "Gawd
of Old Fat Men" who shouldn't be doing things like that . [not Gawd, but me]
Thanks.

hey D, i just put 19 squares on my roof after the previous bastard left me 4 layers to remove - 3 guys 8 hours each. 2 coil nailers going took me and
a buddy about 13 hours each to install after the previous 10 hour day of removing and reinstalling new fascia, then drying in. saved myself over 5g's
from what the home depot guy quoted.....
don't get me wrong, it took me a week to recover.....

Four layers?? WOW. That's a lot of kilos off the top of your casa, Woody. About two lay-overs too many.
I use a gun, but getting up and down ain't what it used to be.
Oh, well......can't stop now. What would we do if we didn't keep trying?
