Avoiding food-borne pathogens: Keeping our fresh foods safe

Posted by Bob Difley on September 4, 2010 under Bob Difley, Boondocking/Dry Camping, Desert Camping, Family Camping, Fulltiming, food safety, food storage, organic | Comments are off for this article

By Bob Difley As recent events show, even though our food sources are likely among the most inspected and safest to eat on earth, pathogens do make it into foods available to us. While most of us are familiar with and have confidence in our local food suppliers, how and from whom do we pick our [...]

Gypsy Journal Rally

Posted by Chris on September 3, 2010 under rallies | Comments are off for this article

The rally is over now.  We presented 9 seminars on the schedule over the course of the three days, and we added a 10th one to teach people how to use our website.  We probably have more Geeks on Tour members at this rally than any other gathering – so we decided to take the opportunity to show them around our new website. 

In other words, we were *busy.*  We didn’t even take time to snap many pictures.  but here are a few:  This is the audience in one of our seminars – GPS Navigation and Trip Planning I think.  geez, they look like a serious bunch don’t they?  Maybe we need to come up with some better jokes?!

 

Jim and I take turns teaching.  One seminar he stands up and talks while I ‘drive’ the computer.  Another I’ll stand and talk.

I had to carry my laptop back and forth from the motorhome to to the classroom every day, sometimes more than once.  I really like my new computer bag from www.CoolComputerBags.com  More about that later, but here’s a picture:

I think my favorite seminar was our new ‘Internet Love Story’ which is just about the history of Geeks on Tour and how the Internet makes it possible to live and work on the road.  This was the second time we’d done it and we refined it a bit.  Both Jim and I take turns talking, plus we have a complete multi-media presentation to go along, with lots of pictures, videos and slide shows with music. 

We talk about Jim’s and my geeky beginnings, then how we sold the house, bought an RV on eBay, and took off with no visible means of support.  Accompanied by lots of pictures of our travels along the way, we tell of making our living by supporting Wi-Fi in RV parks, work-camping, giving seminars and selling tutorial videos, and finally by running a subscription website; GeeksOnTour.com: Computer Education for Travelers,  from the road.  The only thing I don’t really like about it is the title: Internet Love Story.  It’s really about Geeks on Tour – I think that may be a sufficient title right there.  I think we should try to present this seminar to lots of different audiences.  It’s fun to do something other than a computer ‘How-To’ class.

Now we have a week to recuperate, then it’s off to the next rally – the Escapade – at Goshen, Indiana.

Daddy/Daughter Date Night Ideas

Posted by Todd Wilson on under Uncategorized | Comments are off for this article

Hey Todd,

I love the resources, pep talks, encouragement and laughs here – not to mention the connection with other dads trying to do their best – God’s way. I’m looking for ideas for Daddy-Daughter date nights as well as Daddy-Son date nights too. I’ve been way too lax in spending one-on-one time with my daughter (almost 12) and my son (9). Thanks. You rock!

I caught up with this gem at the annual Railroad Country & Bluegrass Festival at the Toronto North/Cookstown K.O.A.  This two day event featured several hot bluegrass and country western bands.  Among others, this attracts scores of model railroad buffs to view the vendor displays.                   This one-of-a-kind RV is on the track to being a [...]

Beginning the top 5 DP motorhomes

Posted by Larry Cad on September 1, 2010 under Uncategorized | Comments are off for this article

Number 5 Damon Tuscany 4051       The Damon motorhome is a late addition to this list.  I did this for a couple of reasons.  Damon has been around for a number of years and they produce a very nice coach.  In addition, we actually have two ties in our arbitrary, subjective ratings and I thought it would add [...]
