Debbie and I grew up in rural Kansas.  We raised our family together in Hiawatha and I pursued a career in Agriculture.  Our children are grown and busy raising their families as we did them.  We're ready for a new chapter.

Eliana is our boat home we manage as a couple.  One that can move along with the seasons allowing us to experience different people, places and things along the way. It's a challenging, nomadic way of life with problems to solve all the time.  But the reward for all the hard work is, as it always has been, incredible. 

I post journal entries in a travelogue format as Eliana moves from place to place.  Occasionally, I include some "Shop Talk" for those interested in the nuts and bolts.  We especially love reading comments and questions from our readers that are placed as a permanent record with each entry.  I try to post answers to questions as quickly as possible.  So register at the right to receive each new journal entry by email.  If you know someone else that you think may enjoy it, please do pass it along.

Welcome aboard!!
