I'm just north of Roanoke, Jimmy. About eight miles off I-81, exit 150.
If you get here before Dec 27, you can see Lois' Christmas light display. We are near Augusta, GA and when she turns the Christmas display on the lights in Augusta flicker.
Tom, your signature is perfect, and something like that would take care of you, too, Bill. "Fulltiming Somewhere" , "On The Road", or something similar tell the story. I have noticed that most folks who fulltime/travel will, when asking for help, tell us where they are - right in their post. There would be no need for frequent updates. I think the issue goes more toward people who are asking for help, from their home location. Yes, I know where some of the regulars live, from their past posts - but I don't have the brain cells to try to retain everyone's location --- if we've ever been told in the first place. I'd hope the newer members see this, and think of it. Here's a hypothetical example. Jose New Member posts that his Eagle has a problem with its whosiframitz. A bunch of people try to tell him where to look, we go back and forth with photos, etc. Once he tells us where he is, three days later, I find that it's the Eagle that I drive past several times a week, in someone's driveway, about 5 miles away. Further, there's a much more experienced busnut, almost walking distance from the Eagle. If I knew anything about Eagles (I'm strictly a GM guy), I might have been able to stop by and help, although my friend is a GM/TMC guy, his 50 years of bus maintenance experience might also have been helpful.Bottom line, for those asking for help, try to make it easy on the responders. When I've had to call 911, the first thing they ask is for location. We're not out do do something sinister, we just dont' want to have to do a bunch of detective work that isn't necessary. As to the thread that got me started on this post, I actually looked at the member's profile two or three times over several days - just in case he'd updated it with his location. Since there was no way to find out where he was, and since with a country this big, it's more likely he's somewhere far away, I figured that had fulfilled my obligation. Arthur
