It is 2025 and I am in Hoosier National Forest sitting in my screenroom pecking away on a laptop, updating this very old website from 2012 - Full Time Living. Once upon a time I owned the URL FullTimeLiving.com, but I let it go. Yo Daddy holds it ransom up for sale to the first one to pay $5,000 to buy it. Nice. I checked my host provider, Netfirms. Same deal. Five grand to buy it and $21 a year to keep it. I went with a new URL - FullTimeLiving.Life
Full Time Living in RVs has taken off like a rocket since 2012. So has van life, car life, bike life, suv life, any kind of vehicle life, and minivan life. That's where I ended up after doing trailer home life since 2014, in Betsy, the mini van. I bought the Flamingo, a 70 foot single wide trailer home from the 1970s, selling the 35 foot motorhome I had been living in full time.
Why? Why what? Why was I living in a motorhome or why did I sell it and move into a trailer home? I was crazy with love for a woman who lived in the area. It seemed like a good plan. Move closer, with a bit more stability in a trailer that I had no way to move without hiring a semi-truck for thousands of dollars. Maybe she would take me a bit more serious as a proper suitor.
Nope, that did not happen. Probably, I was more attractive as a nomad to her than a nester. So, that fizzled out over the course of a couple of years. By then, the Flamingo was looking pretty fine with all the work put in to make her attractive. A comfortable nest. Like a proper nester would do.
Much came and went over the decade in Flamingo. There is a lot to be grateful for over the time there. To much to speak of here. After the loss of my beautiful Kitty, life in the Flamingo would never be the same. Left without a reason for being there the itch to get away, to wander, to explore, to seek adventure bubbled up. The short of the long is now I am in Betsy, the minivan, with Pete the poodle fulltime living on my way to warmer zones for the winter of 2025/26.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
