A houseboat back in early 80s. To damn expensive to run. Twin 318s for motors.

My L hip replacement. Just learned recently that about a year after, the doc was forced by state medical board to surrender his license not long after for "not reporting adverse actions taken against him " & unethical behavior.

Recently? A knife sharpener. A piece of junk.
Best way to sharpen a knife? Depending on what material it is made out of.
A simple fine ordinary file.
Supposedly normal price $49.99 on sale for $9.99.
Anyone paying 49.99 for that sharpener is really getting hosed.
Remember in the good old days when guys would come around and sharpen all the knives in the drawer for a small fee.
They had their equipment set up in the back of a panel truck. But they did a good job.

We have enjoyed owning an RV, but if I could "travel" back in time, we wouldn't have bought it. Like the boats mentioned above, it's a money pit and depreciated faster than the speed of light. Not exactly an investment but simply a liability.
Also regret some Louis Vuitton handbags that are ridiculously overpriced. Thankfully I was able to resell those and recoup some of that money.

Now, as far as rv... I played it smarter and bought a used one so someone else suffered the depreciation blues.
Of course, I just couldn't restrict myself to just one... nooo, had to get greedy. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Todd and Margo. :love_heart:
One I use for short trips, the other is decked out for long term boondocking with solar, extra battery bank, larger water tanks etc.

You could rent one out to snowbirds and collect some cash!

You must be a glutton for punishment. Here's our money pit.

I mentioned earlier about my houseboat. Here she is, The Capricorn, named after my Wife’s sign. That’s her sitting on the post.

......that wedding ring,back in the halcyon days of believing in love,romance,blah,blah.....
When I caught her in our bed with one of my drivers,it cost me my house,my company-and £75,000 debt on a credit card I didn't own. [!!!]
BUT-worth EVERY PENNY,because I got to throw that b*st*rd through the [shut] bedroom window,then whizz downstairs and jump up-and-down on his head.
Yep...worth EVERY penny of the debt on that card,PLUS giving that slapper the house and company.
...because I began again from scratch,built up to being successful-she went broke,then HE was found in bed with HER secretary!!! [teeheehee]

Yow! As a guy who's on my fifth RV, a new 32' TT, I have to say you must be a true glutton for punishment. Even with my new unit, I always find things I need to add onto, adjust, or otherwise modify. Hopefully, you have a large enough shelter for both of them, in the summer months, so their roofs don't swelter, in the heat, and degrade, over time. I suppose if you're living in one, on the road, then only the at-home unit needs protection as it sits, unused. I have found, in my thirty-plus years of RV ownership, that sitting units seem to degrade quicker, than those I was taking out more frequently. Maybe that was just because I could stay ahead of issues, since I was in the one I was using, and noticed things before they got out of hand.
