Season’s greetings to all you non-Cali people freezing from this past winter. First of all, Teresa & I hope all is well with you, your family and friends and you have survived this past winter of freezing cold, ice and snow. As for us, we survived our winter dodging a few days of rain drops, some lower temperatures of high 30’s to low 40’s and keeping our SPF 50 sunscreen available to help against the harsh ultra-violet rays of the sun. Yes, this big yellow ball of warmth keeps popping its head out each morning, slowly going across our face during the day as we soak up the sunlight and settles over the vastness of the Pacific Ocean for a beautiful sunset at night. But on the other side of winter for us, we would have no idea how to drive in ice and snow, how to winterize our coach and how to dress for the winter. So, we would have to exchange our flip flops and shorts for long pants and learn how to layer clothing to stay warm. But just to let you know, I will by next winter have canned sunshine available to sale, just stop by the bridge I have on the market and I will give you a great deal on both.

Now, as usual you want to know what the fabulous and exciting California State Directors have been up to. If you ask Teresa, she would say I have been up to no good, but on my behalf, I demand action videos and solid proof to convict. So, Teresa’s story at this time does not hold water. Anyway, since my last wonderful and exciting article, we have stayed in place so Teresa can get her grandkids fix and I could plan our escape, again from California starting in April.

But prior to our big upcoming escape we decided to hold the California State Rally in Bakersfield from April 11-14. The planning is in progress, a few vendors will present and we will still follow CDC and California recommendations on social gatherings. My thoughts for a rally are, follow the KISS method. (Keep it Simple S_____. You can fill in the last “S” for those that know me). So we will let you know how it went in the next article.

Hey, you want to know what you can do to let people know about the Newmar Kountry Klub (NKK) as you travel or just sit in place at a RV Park? It’s very simple and can be exciting depending on how much you want to be a secret agent. No being a secret agent is not actually part of this unless you want to stealth up to their coach in the middle of the night and hang a door hanger on their coach. No, I would not recommend this late at night approach, some people might get very upset and turn into an Elmer Fud cartoon character with you, if caught! Anyway, the NKK has brightly colored door hangers with lots of information for the Newmar owners where you are at. The information on the hangers includes, Newmar family and friends with like interests, bi-monthly Konnection magazine, benefits and exclusive opportunities, fun filled and exciting social gatherings, special events and guided RV tours and information on how to join the NKK. So, don’t miss out, call your Regional Directors, State Directors or Chapter Officers and get yourself some door hangers to help increase the NKK membership.

Well, it’s time for this talented and well-mannered news article writer to say goodbye. Be safe, keep waving to other Newmar coaches as they pass you on the road and as always, keep your wheels rolling safely in this big and beautiful country. Until my next fun and exciting Konnection article, well you know…Bye.
