Coffee and a Donut – Rodney’s Ramblings #4
Coffee and a Donut That’s how I started my first unofficial co-operative education end of semester report from my memory, or for sure I told it to the student taking over for me. It’s one of the many lessons taught (or reminded) me that has helped me grow professionally, personally, and in pant sizes. It’s a lesson I had been taught my entire life but as a college student I needed a random worker to really install it in me, or at least provide the memory that has stuck with me for over 30 years. I ‘m writing this sitting…

25 Years Later I Stand by My Views – Rodney’s Ramblings #3
2/13/2025 The first two are still in the work so this one we’ll call Rodney’s Ramblings #3, unscripted, unfiltered, most definitely grammatically incorrect. It came to my attention on Facebook that once again the Town of La Valle Board is looking to limit a specific recreational activity on Lake Redstone as are many lakes and I’m guessing even many states are. On a lake that I was lucky enough to grow up on and lucky enough to probably spend more hours on the water then any other kid. A lake that back in the day I was lucky enough to…

SOLD – SOLD – SOLD – SOLD 1957 Dodge D500 Custom Crewcab on a 2007 5.9 Cummins 2500 4×4 Automatic Chassis with 274,000 miles. Rebuilt trans and engine runs great but frame is damaged. You can drive it around the neighborhood and free to have someone inspect the frame and see if they think it can be repaired. I did not do the build but purchased it from the gentleman who did. He said it was a 1957 Dodge D500 COE that he used a 1956 D150 pickup back cab so he had the curve around back window in the…

Time For Someone Else to Enjoy the Fiat
SOLD – SOLD – SOLD – SOLD If you’ve been thinking about a Fiat 124 Spider don’t pass this one up. This is an extremely clean, rust free, solid driving car. The car does have the automatic transmission making it really comfortable to drive when stuck in traffic. It has no problem keeping up with the cars in the fast lane on the freeway and is a blast to drive even being an automatic. The mileage is believed to be 123,800 but you would never know it by looking or driving it. We have owned it since 2014 but it’s…

1958 Lakewood Canned Ham
SOLD – SOLD – SOLD – SOLD THIS GEM BACK IN 2018 I THINK IT WAS After looking at a few around Phoenix, then down to Tucson, back to Phoenix, and off to Lake Havasu City we finally ended up with our first camper, a 1959 Lakewood Canned Ham. It was August of 2014 and I swear it must have been 130 in Lake Havasu city but it was late in the day so we decided to pull it home with the Murano. It was a long day to say the least but well worth it in the end. From what…

First Trip Out
March 5th, 2018 – Off to the MVS Title and Tags to register the trailer, then over to the Mesa Ranger Station to get the yearly Tonto pass to launch the boats, then to the Arizona Game and Fish to register the boat, back to MVS to correct the trailer VIN number, gas station, and finally out to Saguaro Lake. Busy afternoon but well worth it to take the boat for a little ride to check things out and see how it handles before tearing into the floor. I must admit it looks great both on the trailer and in…
