Need to pour second cup of coffee. 40° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 59° with some clouds in afternoon. Typical fall days. Lot of things to do too prepare for winter. Colors are just starting in the trees. Then leaves start falling. Got the Trac-Vac reading to pick them up.
Bright Hunters Moon last night. Son got a deer bow hunting.


Rail glad weather is not going to affect your trip to Japan.

Ann, it will be nice when Hi-Lo maintenance is completed.

Safe travels for those on the road.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all!!!

Have a great trip Rail!!! Enjoy Japan, I know you always do.

Gordon, safe travels to Yuma. Hope you have dry roads all the way, and no SN%W!

Charlie, I know the overheat problem has been a issue for you for a couple years now. Glad that is resolved for you. Slide should be a easy fix.

SAM, that Hi-Lo has got to be like new now! Hope you feel better soon.

Frank, as you know, they did a great job on my paint repair in algadones. And very inexpensive.

Was just about to type we have a 70% chance of rain today that we need very bad,,,, and i started raining! My forecast is 100% chance!!! :-)

Went to the VFW charity ride yesterday. A fun time. Lots of Harley's with very loud exhaust, and the radios blasting. Unfortunatly not on the same station LOL. After the ride when we returned to the VFW Post we were supposed to get dinner. Two couples who were supposed to work the kitchen with our son and his wife were no shows. So we cut the ride short and headed back to the lodge. Deb and I worked the kitchen and 5 of us (a friend volunteered) to cook and serve dinner to the 40 plus attendees. It was fun. End of the day they gave us a membership in the VFW Auxiliary.

Well the rain stopped already. Hopefully we will get some more. In the forecast at some percentage next 3-4 days.

Wait, it just started pouring again! LOL

Have a great day all!

L.

Good Morning;
Glad you are getting rain in SC. Way better for the grass than watering.

Cool here today. And it is still dark at 7:30.

Today the coach comes out and hooking up to the trailer. Loading the car. Weather forecast is for rain today with snow overnight and into tomorrow. If that is the case we will postpone departure for a day.

We are celebrating thanksgiving today. Family coming over and going to be lots of good food. Got a big turkey so we will have lots of leftovers.

Have a wonderful day.

May the best of your today be the worst of your tomorrow.

You keep that sn*^^ on your side of the line or I'll try sending it to Yuma all winter. ...
Now you can leave a trail of turkey bones to find your way home

Lloyd
Interesting power you have on the rain.
Can you make it stop too ?

Do you think you could do something about Gordon's smow ? I think Santa might like it !

If John is still there give him a hey from popeye and scratch for Boe.

Rail
I'm gonna need a pic of that Thai hat .
Can't wait to see the pics from Japan this time.
....recalculating.....................

Charlie
Stress of constantly worrying about overheating gone..priceless.
Hope the hernia goes back into hiding easy and the pain heals quick.

Ron S
I found myself looking for Shiner Bok the other day ??? but I don't drink !
What do you know about that ?

Bill
THAT ain't right.
60* here , just checked it.
I will fart in your general direction but you'll have to return the favor in January !! OK ?

sam
It sounds like you're gonna have a new rig when it's done.

Good morning!

It rained on and off all day yesterday. Everything is pretty soggy. Just what we needed. Chance of rain 40% today.

Popeye, I can only stop the rain. If I plant grass, it becomes a desert out there!!!! So powerful washing all our cars couldn't bring the rain back. John leaves this morning. I will say goodbye to he and Boe for you. They are off to their site in Florida for the winter.

So we are sitting on the couch last evening watching tv, and I look out on the deck and a red tail hawk was sitting on the post!!! Got my phone and tried to get a picture but he/she took off just before I was ready. Pretty cool. Only about 15' from us. Hopefully he or she is helping me with the squirels!!!

Shopping for a skid steer hay spear today. Ordering a trailer load of round bales (15) and moving them around with the forks is touchy. You can easily catch the strings, break it and then you have a mess. Gets really hard when they are ontop of each other. He intends to have cattle for the future, will get lots of use out of it.

Have a great day all!

L.

Good morning all,

First thanks for all the well wishes on my upcoming surgery. It is supposed to be an easy short procedure but I have a personal history of making the surgery and post recovery difficult for the surgeon, Martha and myself. I don't do well with anesthesia. Always hard for them to bring me out out of it. Hoping for the best this time.

It's freaking cold in Missouri right now. Days are in the 60's and 70's but nights are dropping like a rock. 34* F last night. Brrrr. We are enjoying our new electric fireplace, didn't know we needed it until we hit Missouri.

Lloyd yes, the fix on the slide is easy just replace the logic control board. The hard part is emptying my tool bay of all the stuff we carry. Once that is done it takes about a hot minute to unplug one board and swap it with the new one.

We've been on water rationing and tank conservationist in this park all week, no full hook up's, just power. Babler State Park is a lovely old park. So that makes the inconvenience worth it.

That's all from here. Those on the road, drive safe and keep it between the navigational beacons.

Good Morning;
Had a great Thanksgiving dinner with family last night.

Coach is out and hooked up to trailer. Today loading the car and the rest of the "stuff" for an early departure tomorrow morning. Temperatures are rising slightly for the next few days.

Rain and snow here until about noon. Like to load the car when it is dry.

May the best of your today be the worst of your tomorrow.

Gordon,

Lloyd,
I think those fuel filters will work,

Went to go golfing today with Bruce, and the course was closed for reseeding till Saturday, so we hit a bucket of balls on the driving range. Best laid plans,Lol.
Supposed to pick up the towed tomorrow morning from the body shop in Algadonos, will call 1st.
Have a great day all,
Frank

Poured first cup of coffee. 31° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 62° with overcast skies. Been a good run of good fall weather lately. Got RV pad cleaned up for son to put his TT on for the winter.

Safe travels for those on the road.

Good Morning All.

Good afternoon everyone! Coffee was good for the first cup, second cup, ehh? Iced Latte, from the RV Caravan park, on the drive down to Chon Buri! Arrived safe! Got a few pic's of the old Ford bus, the whole body is all Teak! Popeye, this baby has your name written all over it! And it already has a mini-split on the roof! It is right hand drive! Would that be a problem for you, Popeye? Hehehe 😋!
