Welcome to Bob & Carol Heiser's Home Page
Introduction
October of 1994 is when we started full time motorhome living. We purchased our present motorhome a 2000 Bounder 39Z in January 2000, yes it is big. We tow a white 2002, L100 Model Saturn for local transportation. We can usually be found in San Angelo, TX in the spring and fall parked by our hanger on Ducote Air Park.Winter usually finds us at Texas Trails RV Resort, space 603, in the Rio Grande Valley. We spend four + months in the Rio Grande Valley Round Dancing, swimming, and eating way too much food.
Sometime during the Summer we are planning trips to different parts of the USA.
Since our son John has moved back to Arlington, Texas we are no longer spending most of April in Florida visiting and attending Sun and Fun EAA fly-in.

Church
When in San Angelo we attend Mertzon United Methodist Church in Mertzon, TX. While on the road we maintain the church web site and keep in touch via e-mail. There was snow in Mertzon in 2006 during Advent season. During the time we are in Pharr, TX we attend First United Methodist Church of McAllen, TX.
Aviation
Flying is one of our hobbies. We built a Pulsar XP, N912RV in our hanger at Ducote Air Park in San Angelo, TX. Our Pulsar first flew on July 2, 2001 and now has over 300 hours of flying time. In October 2001 and September 2003 we flew to the Pulsar Convention in Lawrence, KS. In May of 2006 we flew to Palm Bay, FL and back. When in San Angelo we make $100.00 hamburger runs with our EAA friends. We are members of and maintain the EAA chapter web site for EAA chapter 493 in San Angelo, TX.
Ham Radio
Carol is N5CBQ and Bob is W7IKT. Carol holds a General license and Bob an Extra class license. When in San Angelo, TX. we are both active with the San Angelo Amateur Radio Club and the Tom Green County ARES group. One of our favorite Ham activities is Field Day. The following picture is of our Motorhome in use as the HF Phone Station at Field Day in June 2007. We are member of the Web Foot group and participate with them when we are in the Rio Grande Valley.We now have an HF station 40-10 in the motorhome. We put a Cushcraft R-7 up on the rear ladder when we will be in a location for a week or more. Send an email call if you would like to set up a schedule.
Renaissance Faires
We both enjoy attending Renaissance Faires. Our motto is "Have Costume do Travel". Our record is 10 Faires in one year. Our personal favorite is Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, TX. We have also been attending the Kansas City Renaissance Faire on Labor Day weekend and Sherwood Faire near Elgin, TX.
Dancing
We love to dance, in January 2000 we discovered Round Dancing. Now we route our travels to attend weekend Round Dance Festivals, and Nelson's Boot Camp in Eureka Springs, AR. We still Ballroom Dance and attend Polka Parties but Round Dancing is clearly our favorite. We are members of the Westerners Square and Round Dance District 16 in Texas. During our time in the Rio Grande Valley we dance most days. 
St. Baldricks
We and our valley friends have been very active the last 4 years raising money for St. Baldricks Foundation. The funds raised go for Children's Cancer Research. So far we have raised over $95,000.00 all for children's cancer research and donations are still coming in. Shavees have included ladies, children, Pharr Firefighters & Police. We have already scheduled our Head Shaving Event for 2013 at the Pharr Civic Center. Bob shaved in 2010, picture is below, to see other pictures or donate go to Bob's St. Baldricks Web page.
