Vehicle Shopping at Galeana Chrysler Dodge Jeep – Ft. Myers

Hank Hagquist — Sun, 13 May 2012 17:02:16 +0000

It's time to think about getting rid of the truck and looking for something that better suits us now. I really have no need for a GMC 3500 Diesel dually any more. we decided that an SUV would fit our needs. It was time to start looking. One place we stopped at was Galeana Chrysler [...]

New A/C From Custom Heating & Cooling – Ft. Myers FL

Hank Hagquist — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:50:36 +0000

I knew when I bought the house that the air conditioner was old. The previous owner said is was 12 years old and I was hoping to get a year or two of service out of it. While it was cooling the house it was just running longer than I thought it should. It was [...]

It has been 6 months since I've been with my sweetie and we decided to go out to have a nice dinner. We had dinner once before at the Lighthouse Waterfront Restaurant and enjoyed it so decided to go back again. The restaurant is located in the Port Sanibel Marina just before the entrance to [...]

Blog Update

Hank Hagquist — Sat, 05 May 2012 12:29:35 +0000

No more excuses, I've just plain been neglecting the blog. Not having my trailer means no more RV adventure posts so I've just haven't been in the mood to write much. Now since I've had a chance to get settled in a bit at my new home I've had a chance to think about what [...]

Bittersweet Day

Hank Hagquist — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:15:45 +0000

Today I delivered my trailer to the new owner in Naples. It is a bittersweet day. Sad to see the trailer go as I had a lot of good times in it this year. On the other hand I look forward to moving to the Fort Myers area and starting anew. So far I've had [...]

Over the past few days I've put a number of my RV equipment on Criagslist. Not sure if I'm pricing the stuff too low or I just have things people want, but everything has sold within a couple of days. So far I've sold my Yamaha generator, bike carrier and scooter carrier. Still to go is [...]

Moving to North Fort Myers Florida

Hank Hagquist — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:05:34 +0000

I know, I've said I would post more updates but there has not been very much RVing news and a lot of other things going on. When I first decided to come to Florida this winter I really didn't expect to like it much from all the negative feedback I've heard from others. Everything from [...]

Ft. Myers Update

I know, I haven't updated lately, just been having too much fun at Ft. Myers Beach. Not a lot of real news to report. Had to replace a front tire on the truck because of a broken belt. The trailer has been flawless with no problems to report. I am currently at Gulf Waters RV [...]

Pennekamp SP Glass Bottom Boat

Hank Hagquist — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:52:10 +0000

Yesterday I took The Spirit of Pennekamp glass bottom boat out to Molasses Reef. The story goes that the reef was named this because a ship loaded with molasses wrecked on the reef. The rescued sailors cried because molasses was used in making rum and they now couldn't make any rum. The Spirit of Pennekamp [...]

Kayaking In The Pennekamp SP Mangroves

Hank Hagquist — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:15:39 +0000

Was a nice day yesterday so decided to rent a kayak and paddle around the mangroves near the marina. John Pennekamp State Park has one and two person kayaks plus canoes to rent. It was only $12 per hour for the one person kayak and it took me about a two hours to paddle most of the [...]
