Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 32.8° having gone a degree in the last hour. I set the clock back an hour last night, the dogs and cats did not!

Tiles are looking good Evan. Are those individual tiles or a "sheet" of them?
One of these days I'm going to have to rebuild the fireplace hearth. It will be fun as I'll have to pull the pellet stove insert completely out and I'll have several angle cuts that I'll have to make.

they came in a sheet but in the standard horizontal staggered orientation. We really wanted the herringbone pattern so we took them off and placed them individually.

Good morning Jim, Evan and those to follow.
47.7° up from a low of 41.7°.
Even the tile work looks good, just don't go posting to Facebook and giving Renee ideas!

Renee rest the time on the cats food bowl = cat not happy!

Yep, we got the clocks set back.
Unfortunately, the dogs and cats did not set their clocks back. They were all up between 0500 and 0530 - their time....0400-0430 our time. So much for getting that extra hour to sleep in.

We made the long...long trip to Yogi Bear RV park outside Antietam Battlefield...... The place is almost empty... A very nice place, and I can see that it would be a bunch of fun for the kids.... and kid like Old Sailors......
The trip was a whopping 1 hour + long.......

My new Garmin RV GPS paid for itself today....... I forgot to tell it that we are towing..... It set the route and off we went... not long into the trip we go flying by a sign that said clearance ahead 10'-6"........ As we came to a halt. I asked Lynn if she saw what I think I saw. Nope..... Got Off the road and started the route selection over with it set to RV in tow....... Whole different route.... just a little longer. Trip went fine after that.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.

Cutting it pretty skinny there Roy! Considering what clearance we had left at 12'9", we would have possibly been in trouble ourselves.

We don't need that much, that's for sure.

This reminds me that I need to go out and measure clearance with the new camper on the 2011 King Ranch. We're a couple of inches taller. With the Camper on the 2011 dually, I had to jack up the CATV drop line as it wanted to hang on the directional DTV antennae, and I'm sure it would have gotten the A/C as well. Unless I can convince the Power company to raise their drop line up, I can't back it up to the garage in the driveway. The front corner of the house is about as far back as I can get with the power drop line as it currently is.
