Hey Listener, put on some comfortable shoes, because today we’re going on a family vacation. My dad Rick Mansfield returns to the basement and my mom Cindy Mansfield makes her first experience on the show. Today’s episode is all about their lifetime of traveling and how things have changed since they’ve retired. Topics this week include: Making time for me and dog talk. Going to the Ham radio festival and selling fire trucks in West Virginia. Living in a basement apartment near Fort Knox. Getting stuck in Germany instead of Hawaii. Living in a garage with a BMW. Shipping a Camero to Europe and driving on the Autobahn. Well, World War 3 might be happening. The best gunner in the 3rd armored division in Germany. Family vacations at theme parks. Traveling in a pre and post 9/11 world. Seeing and smelling buffalo. Watching the Buckeyes win a National Championship live. Of course the Led Zeppelin tribute band has a gong. The Margaritaville RV Park and Jimmy Buffet tailgates of yore. The legendary gas powered blender.

If you haven’t listened to it yet, go check out WYI? Episode 18 Diver Down, Not the Van Halen Album with Rick Mansfield where my dad and I talk about scuba diving. It is a fan favorite episode and the one I get the most questions about from listeners.
