Circumstances have caused us to start fulltiming in our Eagle, probably March or April.
So we are busy getting the bus prepared to live in when the time arrives. It won't be finished, but we will have a kitchen and all the necessary functions working.
At least we can take our house with us when we go to TBR this year!
This should be interesting!

As of 12/1/2021, a major update of the forum software was accomplished
Update: 4/20/2024: The Eagles email account at GoDaddy no longer works. I have set up a gmail account as a workaround: eaglesinternational.email@gmail.com (This link seems to work for my outlook email, but may not work for other email platforms. If it does not load, copy and paste the link in your platform.)
Update: 4/27/2024: I am getting some SQL error pages as I click on different areas of our forum. Using the back arrow and hitting the link again usually loads the page. I will wait for a day or two before I have GoDaddy look into the problem.

Isn't it great to have a backup! Now you can test it out to see if it is something you want to give a go down the road!

Re: Oh Boy, Fulltiming, Here We Go!
Good luck Paul!
Frankie and I full timed for 8 years. Wouldn't trade it for anything. May do it again. We'll see.
Just remember when you are full timing, you have nothing but time. Take time to see things instead of burning diesel. We burned a lot of it before we learned that.
The worst thing was we had no place to perform maintenance. That problem is now solved.
One thing you will find out is exactly how much you like each other. We did fine. We have been married over 40 years. the coach does get small occassionally though.

Re: Oh Boy, Fulltiming, Here We Go!
Thanks for the warnings guys!
We will be fulltiming here in Abilene for a while, not much traveling yet. We will have a chance to get our ducks in a row before we take to the open road in a year or so. At least we will be able to see what works and what doesn't. That will also allow us time to get to know each of us better!
I am looking forward to this, as it has been a dream of mine for a long time. Becky is excited about this new chapter in our life. She has been looking over all the bus magazines I have collected over the years, so that's a good sign. (I think anyway).
Becky will be working out of the bus doing medical transcriptions, so that's why I'm trying to get her computer desk figured out along with everything else to make her comfortable. Once she is set up we can go mobile.
There is still lots of things to work out, but that's half the fun!
Wow, what a journey we are on!
