Good morning Vermont FTE lovers and woodchuck wannabees. Only two meetings today - almost like being retired. Got to try to get the RV ready to go for tomorrow. We've had it since spring and tomorrow will be our first trip with it to see how we like it. Not going far, just down to Lake Champaign in Randolph so we can break it (and us and the dogs) in and still run home if we forgot something critical. Also may have to run back home to care for the pony if our "helpers" have issues.

But hopefully will get a short break from the daily to do list!

Good morning Shawn and Ken.

Looks like it will be a good day to head to the campground. Hopefully you'll get the relaxing break for a few days

Thanks Jim. We have reservations through to Sunday so we're hoping for enough time to sort out all the little quirks and issues that always arise on the first time out camping. You have them even with a tent - sorting out what works, packing order, systems, etc. The weather looks great - cool nights, nice days.

Nope, but we're getting there. Got the fuel in the pot, and the head on. Now, just have a ton of testing to do, heat up, do a leak check , and the wait for teh NRC's blessing to make power.

That is just amazing how long it takes to get back on line. Bet they wish it was running now during your heat waves

Good afternoon Jeff. For Clint it probably is. I think his sister is flying in that day so he won't be around. You and Shawn both said you guys were busy on the 12th and 19th, the days Clint said he was free.
