He must be speeding across the country right now. Saw a nice picture of his RV. Looks like a winner. DonAYfpY9a

LOL!!! Now THAT is funny! 

I see you got this shot just after I got her out of the paint shop. That’s our new motor home.

We traded this one...

Seriously, The Lovely and Gracious LINDA and I are not retired yet. We’re still doing some of the behind the scenes admin work for the magazine from a home office in our new home in Columbus, Ohio. I’m still doing some flying, but I’ve begun the process of winding down that career.

I am no longer a licensed locomotive engineer. My certification expired on May 31 and I chose not to recertify. I retired from the 765 steam crew in 2016 and now have no reason to maintain my engineer certification.

This is our REAL land yacht...

One more thing...in September, the Lovely and Gracious LINDA and I will celebrate 50 years together...48 of ‘em happy!  😇

Glad to hear you're doing well, Rich, and keeping busy in semi-retirement. That's quite a ride you and Linda have! I'm sure you've visited some great sights and will undoubtedly visit many more. And congrats on your upcoming 50th wedding anniversary, a milestone to be proud of (Kathie and I just hit 34 years yesterday).

BTW, Rich, are you still shooting videos for OGR? I have them all and I've always enjoyed them and would love to see more.

Be well.

Chris

You picked a great city!!! Both of my brothers live there so I visit often. Some great hobby shops....all within a mile or two of each other!!! Columbus is easy to get around and has about everything you need.....even two Menard's stores!!  Love the RV.....enjoy semi retirement!!!!!

Hopefully proving Otto Stoker is not a real guy. Just kidding. Hopefully having a ton of fun. Have you made it out to Yellowstone Rich?

LOL!

That guy "Otto" sure gets around. 

No trip to Yellowstone yet. We've only been west of the Mississippi twice, on trips to Mountain Home, AR. I'm still working too much to plan a long trip like that. Maybe this fall...

You would definitely enjoy it Rich. Both spring and fall have weather like snow. I went out there I think it was 2010 in May(mid to late). It was supposed to be in the mid 70's, we heard snow was going to be there for the majority of the days we were there. Coming in was in the 70's and went to freezing conditions with lots of wind. We got lucky because the pass between Canyon and Mammoth opened the day we went up that way. The one thing we missed we the Teutons as they opened the week after we left. May want to try June or maybe September. Best to call the park and ask what would be the best time I suppose. Main thing to watch out for besides the Bison(Buffalo) using the roads, are the people who forget how to drive and almost hit you. Lots of good eating out there as well.
