Morning

Northwest corner getting a little ice and rain. I guess the rest of us will get rain as the clouds head east. From what I heard today and tomorrow.

The F250 going to get things done finally. Thursday 4 Blistien 5100 shock go in after a wait. Monday the Reese hitch and Ride Rite spring assist get done. Only thing that will be left is the GPS with remote camera for the trailer.

Today finish the clean out of the Zinger trailer and put air in the tires. To be hauled to Vermont soon.

Kathy is already thinking about trips with the 5th wheel.

You can't blame her. I've been thinking about trips myself, and it's not mine.

Morning

Andy did the Smokey mountains and Skyline drive a few years ago. Right now she is looking to visit her mom in Myrtle Beach and then head to the outer banks of North Carolina this year. Maybe a shot to Maine for the Lobster Festival. We are looking in the future at a trip to Tuscon Arizona to visit my son and see the sights in that area. All tentative as to how she is thinking and what time she can get off. Hard part is when taking trips "Doggie day care" not cheap and right now diesel cheap but we know how that works.

I hear there may be a little snow over at Toms house in cold country.

I put a small fire on in the wood stove last night. Made it nice and toasty.

Yep, we had about 4" of heavy, wet snow yesterday morning. Happy it moved out as quick as it did, I left yesterday morning on a trip down to Fort Knox. The weather has given me no issues so far, hope that holds true for the return trip on Friday!

It was going a bit when I woke up, not a lot but enough to make it so the mortar wont dry out. Kinda nice to have a day off and get some stuff done though, are you still 7 days a week as well?
