Well, we finally did it and applied for an Amazon Affiliate status and have started to insert links into the video descriptions on Youtube, so I thought I would try one here to see just how it works.
Link to our Amazon Affiliate Account
We haven't got to test it as yet, but if anyone is thinking about purchasing something from Amazon in the next few days, would you consider clicking the link above to take you to amazon web site. It should take you to the doggie poop bag page and from there you can go anywhere you want to make your purchase and we should get some kind of kick back from Amazon and you will simply pay what ever the regular price is for your purchase.
Easy Peeze, and we get some cash, not sure what we will do with the cash, I think you have to have a $100 balance to get a check so it may a year or two before we get anything. If our account starts getting credits we will post it here so you will kind of know how it works.
Thanks for trying the link, if it is too cumbersome no problem just do your amazon normally and don't worry about it as it's just for fun to see if it will work. I don't think it will work for me to use it myself but you can bet I am going to give it a try. :-)

January Expense Report
I am a little late posting the January Expense report over here on the Blog this month. We had a pretty inexpensive month since we didn't have to purchase any Diesel Fuel or Campsite expenses. We aren't really too compatible with the South Texas weather or terrain. It has been cool and windy almost the total time we have been down here. The good news is we only have 3 weeks left before we head north.
We are actually thinking about leaving a week early and going to Big Bend National Park and maybe even staying at the Hol-I-Day rv park where daddy and Beverly always wintered back when they had COZY. We tried to get their exact site (36) but it is a popular site and unavailable. It will pretty much depend on my trip to the dentist if we get to leave early and go to Del Rio and Big Bend.
I need to just get my teeth cleaned and a general dental checkup and I am going to do it in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. We have gotten a lot of positive feed back on this dentist (Dr. Dan :-) and depending on what he says I may or may not have some implants put in. But if it is too costly or I am not comfortable with his skill set, tenderness and cleanliness then I will settle for a cleaning and we will head to Del Rio. We both want to go there so we just might make it.
Our luck has ran out as far as inexpensive as far as February goes. Pearl decided she wanted a new Ipad, and the car is making a funny noise (its in the shop as I write this) and we have been going out for lunch and dinner like there is no tomorrow. I am guessing we will be over budget in several areas this month but we have been pretty lucky all year and nothing too expensive has popped up so far to chew up the maintenance part of the budget so it was a little due.
That just about covers our month on January and a big part of February, wish me luck at the dentist and hopefully we will make it to Big Bend National Park for some good weather and vibes that daddy and Beverly may have left down here for us to connect up with.
=================================================================
We met up with a couple that follows our Youtube channel a couple of weeks ago. They live up north of Dallas and came down to South Padre Island for a vacation and emailed us asking if we would like to meet up with them and visit about RVs. We did and decided to do a video about their trip to Alaska they plan to take in May. Here is that video, we had a lot of fun making it.
===================================================================
The General Manager of one of the RV parks down here saw the above interview with Charles and Cande and contacted us to see if we would like to come to their customer appreciation day and interview the full time RV'ers there and post it on our Youtube Channel. We think it might be a lot of fun so next Tuesday we will be doing several more of these type videos. Hopefully we will get a little better with practice and make it a kind of regular event at different campgrounds, as long as we can find volunteers to do the videos with us.
If you have any ideas for questions to ask these seasoned full time rv'ers please leave them in the comments section here or on Youtube and we will try to get you an answer.

Anyone considering traveling to Alaska ?
We have been down here in south Texas for a couple of months now and we are ready to hit the road just as soon as it looks like the cold weather is warming up. The sad part is I am guessing we still have a month or so to go.
We had dinner with a couple that lives down here locally and I asked them about the dentist in Mexico and if they had use them. It appears most everyone has confidence in going across the border and having their dental work done. It cost me almost a thousand buck the last time I had a crown put in back in Nevada, The going rate here in Mexico is about $200 and potentially one day service if your lucky...
I made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned and maybe some more work if there is a comfort level, but I am a little bit concerned about sanitation and catching something that doesn't wash off in the process. I am not above walking out it it doesn't look right, but hopefully I get in and out with no permanent damage. Might even get some good video for the Youtube channel or maybe not now that I think about it.
We received a letter from one of the couples that follow the Youtube Channel saying they were coming down to South Padre Island and would like to meet up with us while they were here and of course we jumped at the chance. Their campsite was right on the Bay so that is where we met up with them to go and have some lunch. We had breaded shrimp and margaritas overlooking the Gulf and it was great. Not too healthy but delicious.
South Padre Island is a beautiful area and we need to go there more often. We shot a video of us visiting and discussing their plans to travel to Alaska this summer. We got so caught up in it that we have moved our plans to RV up through Alaska to next year (2019). East Coast this year and Alaska next year. Sounds Great to Us.
Here is the interview we did with Charles and Cande, Hope you enjoy it and if your up for it, start making some plans to join us.
