We've been in Maine for a month.. we were set to leave soon and decided to stay another month.

I think our time in Richmond is about over. I have no strong desire to go back, even though living in an RV is a little tough at times. I want a desktop computer and a monitor... that's really all I'm missing.

We have friends there, but I think the distaste for the area and the people is just too much. We'll probably wander for the next 1 to 2 years, but we may just buy an Ikea kitchen, do some simple updates, have it ready to rent or sell.

the whole move there started with high hope and moved quickly to bitterness, so i'm not surprised we are kind of done, more surprised we lasted this long.

I didn't know you were doing the RV life. That's pretty cool. I wish my job allowed some working when travelling. - sycor Jul 29, 10:40 1
- yep.. we got a 24' motorhome last summer, we trailer around the motorcycles. it works pretty well. - colin Jul 29, 10:45
Check for coworking spaces, that might solve your want for a desktop (unless you mean for gaming). - Beryllium Jul 29, 10:21 10
- it's more just for ease of work.. it's all set up, all the time. the rv is too small for me to have a permanent work space. - colin Jul 29, 10:28 9
  - Depending on how big you need, they make some good portable USB-C monitors these days (15.6", etc.) -- nm - oblique Jul 29, 10:32 2
    - we got one of those.. it's pretty solid. -- nm - colin Jul 29, 10:35
    - I have one of these. it's not bad. -- nm - amanda Jul 29, 10:32
  - You could try setting your monitor on an articulated arm on what you use as a table. That way it's easy to move out of the way when you don't need it - Guigue Jul 29, 10:30 1
    - the current table is really wonky and won't support it... i tried before we left to get it hooked up and it was a not going to work. - colin Jul 29, 10:36
  - for reference, this is my local library.. it's stunning. -- (link) - colin Jul 29, 10:28 3
    - No way. That can’t possibly be real. Omg. I’d live there. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 29, 10:54 1
      - they have hiking trails. and reading balconies. and high speed internet. they are truly delightful places. -- nm - colin Jul 29, 10:57
    - Pretty! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 10:30
