As the editor pens this story on a top floor of a luxury hotel, reveling in the stunning view, she is reminded of how very fortunate Flynn and Ollie are to live the lives they do. They live on a carefully crafted budget, and generally without excess. Yet, they here they sit, with views to…
Poker LV – The Rest of the Week
Dec 6-12th, 2023 Happy reading. Or scanning. Or Skipping. Wednesday : Aria was the choice of the day, as Flynn needed to get some hours logged in to maintain MGM Gold status. Turns out the hour count does not end until the end of January, so he is golden (ha ha) on that account. No…
Poker, Finally
Captain Flynn’s log, StarDate the end of November, beginning of December 2023. F&O pushed to arrive in LV a day or two early, and conveniently set up camp two days before the Cardplayer Lifestyle HORSE tournament at Resorts World. Last year, Flynn took 8th, some $ and good vibes. Robbie is a great host, and…
Full of hot air ~ Road-tripping
Flynn and Ollie made it back to the foothills of the Sierras mid-September. They settled in for a few weeks in the home-park, were miserable with the Covid for a bit, and took a well-deserved rest from the previous 3 months. Additionally, it gave the avian and mammal time to take care of some business:…
Reno, NV – Poker and a whiney-rant
The first week of September: We made it to Reno, booked into the best RV park for a week to get a respite from the constant travelling. It was time to take care of some battery business (Battle Born’s headquarters/plant is there), do some RV cleaning & maintenance, and play some poker! Flynn finally got…
Cody, WY to Reno, NV Aug 2023
It seems as if this leg of the trip was a year ago, and the memory is a bit blurry. Old age? Alcohol? Covid? No matter where the blame lies, here goes the quick trip from Cody to Reno: Stop number one: Lander, WY which turned out to be a much nicer town than expected.…
August 2023. KOA is Starbucks, AmIRight?
Backtracking a bit, the editors will fill you in on the journey to Cody, WY which you read previously. Upon departing KY, the next three nights were spent camping for free on three different total strangers’ properties. Flynn and Ollie are not above a little squatting when necessary. Nah, it’s called Harvest Host, and the…
F & O’s Happy Place ~Simply the Best
Jumping forward a week, because we do what we want, the editors will bring you a short description of Flynn and Ollie’s time in Cody, WY. Yellowstone, duh. Having visited Cody in 2020, and having adored it, they made the out-of-the-way trek back to this historical touristy destination. The thing about Cody is that A)…
F&O Off & Running
Set up in their new home mid-July, F&O took it for a shake-down run near the dealership for a few days, as they didn’t want to stray too far from a business that would be required to make repairs if needed. None were needed, which is a bloomin’ miracle in the RV world. If you…
July & a Bit of August 2023 ~ We Did What?
Where to start? F&O survived Red Bay, AL for 5 weeks. This was a massive undertaking, as the town is dry, small, seriously Baptist, full of ‘blessings’, as well as being hot as Hades, humid, lots and lots of thunderstorms, and boring as boring can be for two critters who prefer to roam. The closest…
