The Instapot really is a handy appliance! Just made homemade potato salad with it (after building pressure the potatoes and eggs were done in only 4 minutes!) It should go great with the New York Strips that have been marinating since last night! Can’t wait for dinner!! #instapot #potatosalad #rvlife #glamping #dinnerMy breakfast view this morning! #breakfastwithaview #rvlife #glampingJust finished breakfast cooked on my Blackstone 22 (scrambled eggs, bacon and French toast) and now sitting back enjoying the view with a cup of coffee. It’s 49 degrees as of 8:50, and both, @goosefeetgear and @blackrockgear are keeping me warm. #itdontgetbetterthanthis #itsfriday #itsfinallygettingcold #blackrockgear #skullycap #goosefeetgear #downjacket #custom #pineygrove #campground #rvlife #glamping #camping #chillinJust chillin at the campground on this fine fall weekend... highs in the 60’s and lows in the 40’s calls for campfires and my new @blackrockgear skully cap. The down will come out later!! #blackrockgear #skullycap #camping #glamping #rvlife #itsfallyall #finallycoolerweather #timetostaywarm #starcraft #autumnridge #21fb #pineygrovecampground #campsiteonthewaterDo Golden’s shed??? I swept this up after about a minute of raking my fingers through Luke’s coat... I don’t think they ever stop shedding! And we do try and brush him everyday with an undercoat rake. Want to try a good slicker brush to though... #goldenretriever #doghairAfter almost 6 months of owning our camper, my wife and I finally came up with a name for her... Lil’ Bit! This was the name of our last little dog that we love so much, but lost about 3 years ago. We are proud to be able to carry on her name in something that gives us such enjoyment, and it’s quite fitting too! Our little camper provides us with tons of fun even if just for a little bit... lol! Anyway, our sticker just came in today and we finally made it official... love it! #lilbit #camper #rvlife #starcraft #autumnridge #21fb- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
