That's a clever idea Josiah, I bet she loved it!

Sounds like you guys had a good time John, that RV dealership just opened about a year ago. We were kind of surprised that they opened it there, it looks like that old building was vacant for years.

Afternoon guys, just went and set up the base for a fireplace on an addition. We have been really busy lately, there's only been one day since august 9th that I haven't worked. I have tomorrow off though! Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend!

Hi guys.
The wife and I went to the Lee Ann Womack concert last night at Mohegan.
Then I went fishing this morning at Rodgers Lake in Lyme. It is a beautiful lake and we got some nice fish.

John there is a huge RV show down in Hershey in Sept.

Josiah I have done the same with my kids in the snow and they love it.

We are headed up to the demo derby up at the Waterford speedbowl tonight.

Morning all,

Andy Hershey looks like a road trip thanks.

Great weather this weekend couldn't be better. I guess humidity coming in today.

Added window wash to truck at 10 am yesterday, and turned the key to on position and pumped fluid to the window and all is well until 5 pm when a guy tells me my lights are on. Left the key in the on position all day. It started and all's well that ends well.

Good morning everyone!

Glad you didn't kill the batteries John! Thinking that second battery saved you!

Good morning everyone.

Yesterday my wife and I went to the Minnesota State Fair for the first time in a few years. We checked out an RV dealer's exhibit while we were there, and we were both pretty impressed with what we saw. Perhaps we'll be looking more into that next spring, I've always wanted one.

I think that you will be happy if you do Tom. Sound crazy but when you get to know a few camping people you will find out door people with whom you have common interests. ATV's, Snowmobiles, Hunting, Fishing, And just going hiking. And it's a plus being in Minnesota.

Evening guys, I've only had one person come and look at the truck so far. We couldn't agree on a price, at least I don't have to sell it ya know! I may take it down and do a few more things to the truck and relist it, just gotta find the time.

Morning all,

We do need the rain. Southington is asking people to reduce their water usage.

So I will empty me black water on the camper in the rain tomorrow.

Oil change light just came on will have to get the truck in for oil change.

Good morning everyone.

Cool front came in last night, and it looks like it's headed your way. We're at 50 right now with a high of 71 today. It'll be in the 60s for the next few days.

Morning all,

Just got back from the oil change. No to happy they found a leak in the plastic radiator. I haven't got under the truck to look yet, but I remember reading a bunch on the 6.7 site which I will have to look closer to see what my options are, since Ford want $1,500+ to replace it.

No real rain so far this morning here in Newington. Waiting to see the sky open up.

Yesterday was our 18th anniversary. Married all them years. Went to Mohegan Sun for dinner at Bocca, A new Italian restaurant. Really good food like you would get at Little Italy in New York. But costly, not cheap.
