Fey WAS NOT detained at the border and drove through a snow storm to return home. Engaging four wheel drive in the snow under heavy load. Complaints about service centre people not providing complete information. Trying to prepare for winter by getting winter tires on all the vehicles. Fey can’t decide if the word is snow THROWER or snow BLOWER. Cars covered in ash.

Fey is 8 days from Canada and can’t wait to get home. Boondocking sucks. Fey is tired of hauling and setting up his trailer. RV campgrounds that are just paved parking lots. A major pooplosion in the campsite. The major flaw in our travel plans – too short of time. Fey is missing his cars and his office. Fey’s trailer tires are wearing out.

Fey has arrived in Palm Springs, Palm Desert. Fey starts the show with a list of complaints about dust and dirt, heat and burrs and skinny palm trees. Sharp turns off the freeway exits. Diesel is costing $9.30 CDN per gallon. Can I turn right on a red light when there are two right turn lanes? Ranger John asked about chunks of tires on the freeways. Fey is going to an Apple Store. What will he buy?

Fey is 6,000 feet high at a campsite run by a couple of Friends of Dorothy (maybe). The RV fridge has been totally restored to factory functionality. Fey meets a MAGA Republican who needed help. Why are trailers required to travel at 55 mph on the highways? Why do the 4-way stops not have signs identifying them as all way stops? Feys sees an over-fuelling douchebag.

Fey is in California and talks about the Oregon coast and enjoying the beaches but not the lack of Internet. Fey’s house is no longer under extreme threat of burning down from the forest fires, although the fires are definitely not out yet. Fey deals with a broken RV fridge. Is the phrase “jury rig,” or “jerry rig?” Why is cell service so bad in the USA? Sorry I missed a lot of the last Pride 48 live streaming weekend.

Fey is in Washington state and heads out to do some grocery shopping and chores. His house hasn’t burnt down and the fires are not significantly larger but they are moving and spreading a little bit. Some of the evacuation orders are downgrading to evacuation alerts. Initial reports that 130 structures lost and 35 structures damaged by fire in his area. Having trouble getting Canadian news in the United States. Driving my 50-foot rig on Interstate 5. Battling with the differences between mileage and kilometre speeds and fuel tracking. Staying at Thousand Trails and the lack of full service hook-ups (IE, no SEWER). The Canadian equivalent prices of things.

Back from Ireland with a full report of travel adventures. Surprise! There’s an oncoming car in your lane! Some charming manor house accomodations. My back was killing me. A tirade against Google Maps. Saved by the GPS lady with the Irish accent.

PWN Garage DoorDon’t be confused by the beginning of this episode: this is a review of the 2015 Mustang Fastback. Also this episode takes place in Las Vegas and though I may sound frustrated by my experiences, it all works out for the better in the end.

As usual, I have jumped into this car without knowing much about the details but we learn as we go. This 2015 Mustang Fastback came with a 2.3litre EcoBoost 4 cylinder engine (310hp with a turbocharger) mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. This is a 2 door, 4 seater, front engine, rear drive coupe priced at $37,000 as tested.
