The adventures of 'Team Klingon'

It was always great to get home, but it was so tiring too. It is great to see your grandkids though, they grow up so fast: we would go home once about every 3 mo so middle grandson was 3 mo older every time and you only had a few hours to visit, so we lost a lot of his 1st year.

Prayers Matilda is a good girl for you.

 

I know you enjoy getting home so often, it makes a lot of differance. I know we had so much stuff too, things I even forgot about, it is easy to collect. We didn't go home but every 3 mo though. He had a volvo automatic then with the sunroof. It had really a lot of storage room. The bottom bed made up into a table if you wanted, and had a little storage open underneath it and the bench seats on each side could be accessed either from the top or from the outside storage doors. They usually held tools and stuff like that for the truck and detergeant and drinks when it wasn't freezing out.

The truck he has now is one of those freightliner lightbody trucks. The bed he says is perhaps a little bigger than the international, and the cabinets are next to it and they sit almost on top of the back of the seats. Very little floor space. No room for a refrigerator except to put it in the passenger seat for now. He still has things to recollect at his sisters house whenever he gets back up that way, like the micorwave.

Well the upper bunk can be used for laundry bags or extra blankets, coats, things that won't go ouch if they fall off at least. And just remember if you clean the truck out, you'll be a month trying to figure out if you have it or where it is.

 

Well his truck doesn't even have the top bunk, so that is not even an option for him to put things on. A mattress, next to a good riding seat is great, hopefully you will be more comfortable. On the internet for freightliner it looks like the mattress is supposed to be about 40 x 80 in size; it is perhaps what 3-4 inches wider than a twin bed, he said it was a good mattress though, not those cheap ones most carry.

I know the stuff under the seat cushions never got accessed that way very often except from the bottom side. I just wonder why they didn't put a second door in, it makes it so much easier to store things that aren't needed all the time.

They keep on chopping on the sizes of the trucks to keep fuel economy up and the weight down, but when it is your home for a large part of your life it would be better to have a few more comforts maybe. I didn't drive when I was out with him before and had my crocheting, books and computer that kept me busy, besides cooking. I think they must have men design these things too; I bet if women got into there would be a lot more things on the trucks.

 

I just checked out the FB page...pretty nifty how you've got it arranged. I'd be afraid of the microwave placement (for me)....wouldn't be long before I had a lumpy head!!

 

The microwave s at the foot of he bed. We had o up it here so WE didn't get "brain damaged".... lol.....

 

Loved the pictures. Might as well turn the dog crate bed into a catchall. My beagle is like that with me, the more bed she can hog the better she thinks and it offends her otherwise. I do try to keep her on her quilt and pillow where the hair is there and not all over.

The inside compared to the old volvo is devoid of a lot of things. Your freightliner must look pretty much like his inside does. I wish it had the top bunk where he had more room to eventually to put his microwave in.

I really love the little lights you have strung, they look like chili peppers. He complains there is not enough light in the back.

The only thing I would worry about is the refrig if ever you were ever in a wreck of some sort and it flying through the air.
