We are semi retired although I have to say that I have never worked so strenuous in my life, however my spouse plays purplegrass tunes.
He has his whole life. But only now are we touring the country and playing in fairs and other locales. It is a lot of work and we put a lot of miles on our RV. I’m not complaining though, not really. I always wanted to tour around this beautiful country of ours. Besides, it is better than resting condo and enjoying the leaves fall. I am surprised at how different the climate is from one local to another though. My fantastic friend and I might be using the heater in the RV one day and the air conditioning the next. The temperature differences drive me crazy. I once wore a wool jacket to an outdoor concert and I was warm and annoyed the entire time because it was 80 degrees outside. How was I to know? The last concert was 50 degrees. As the year wraps up we always go back to our condo on the west coast. There are not several concerts in the winter time months. Thankfully our condo has a smart thermostat so we can monitor the temperature throughout our travels. My fantastic friend and I keep the A/C on in the Summer and the heater on in the winter; Without being able to change the thermostat, from any distance, we would get mold or frozen pipes. Besides, it is absolutely nice to come condo to a condo that has the perfect temperature. My fantastic friend and I can do that with a smart thermostat.
