Here are a few more pics from my phone! The last M&G from Freeport, Maine!

One thing that I learned.... The only thing that always works in or on an RV is the owner.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 41° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 57° with rain most of the day. Going to stay in and keep the dogs company again today.

Rail, great pictures.

Popeye, still not enough warmth here to share with you. Maybe Lynne can box some up and bring it north later this week.

Gordon, did you plant fast growing potatoes?

Lloyd, deer passing thru my yard is a common thing. Glad they do not stay. They like my neighbor's yard better.

AnotherMike, part of why I had to sell mine.

Harvey, always glad to share Michigan weather.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

[Lloyd in S.C.]

Good morning all!

45* here, headed for 69*. Carolina Blue Sky!

Birthday party for great grandson yesterday afternoon. They purchased a small 6" diameter cake, and just turned him lose. He starred at it and just looked more. His mom stuck her finger in it and gave his a little, and he realized "He Likes Cake"! Bam, he started going at it. Ate a good bunch, then bounced around the house on a sugar high! LOL

Picked up a wobble in Rubi's frontend weeks before we left Yuma. Couldn't really see anything bent or wrong, however read online and heard from friends it is often the ball joints. Anyway, Rubi is on the lift in SIL shop and we started the job. Had to quit, but will complete it today. Got one side almost done, found lower ball joints were bad, Installing Synergy Heavy Duty units, to stand up to all the off-road and heavy tires and wheels.

We maybe breaking out of Spring here. Get into the 80's Thursday, and no rain forecasted next 10 days.

Gordon, do you cover your crops for a froast warning? I assume you must be still having them?

Charile, congrats on the first rental! I am sure it will be nice to have that income.

Restaurants and bars are now open here, with social distancing limits. We are holding back awhile. Also state parks are open, all though they have restricted capacity for the time being. I think that means less sites available.

Have a great day all!

Good Morning;
Happy Mothers Day to all of the ladies.

Cool here but not supposed to sn*w. Predicted all around us but our anticipated high should mean we get rain or possibly sleet.

The only thing planted outside so far is the potatoes. Thinking about setting out some additional bedding plants but would have to build a cover for them at night. The planter is against the south side of the house so it is protected well enough that a cover will/should protect them. Right now we will be keeping them inside until the daytime temperatures get back to normal.

Our asparagus is starting to appear as well as the rhubarb. Started some fruit trees last year and they are all leafing out. Neighbor has decided to pump out his garden. I suggested we could move it to a bit higher ground but he likes the location. He has been pumping for about 18 hours and the water is down a few inches. Did I mention he has a lot of water. For the first while I thought the water was running back in to the "pond" but there is just a lot of water over a very large area.

Great pictures of the group in Maine. Wish we would have gone.

Have a great Mothers Day.

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

If another batch (or repeat offenders) would like to have a "replay" I could be available for it. You guys only saw stuff in my neighborhood !
Acadia is another 150 miles "down"east.
And that's just at the shore. We guts woods too!!!

She'll be 96 on tuesday !!!!!! (That's class of '42 , born in '24..)
And I might even get to celebrate with her,,,,,IF they end the lock down.....but after is in the plan fer sure.

I'm only allowed to call her for now .

Good Afternoon,

Happy Birthday Rail and Gordon! Hope you had a great day and got some hugs.

Cleaned out the bays today to get ready for the trip home. Chuck stopped by while I was labeling the boxes and he had to leave. Too much for him I guess. Will sure make it easier to find things instead of having to pull everything out to figure out what is in which tote.

Dentist got another crown on and then tomorrow (Monday) Jerry goes back to have top implants installed. Hope they are done on Monday because I really want to leave on Wednesday.

I got a call from my nephew Friday night while I was on the phone talking to Gordon about rigs and gardens. My brother Kevin had a stroke. He woke up early am unable to move his L side and called 911. He is 62 yrs old. He is in ICU and being moved tomorrow to a progressive neuro unit at same hospital. He sounds good and they had him up walking today. They are saying 2 weeks (maybe) of rehab and then home with help. I told him to come to our place. We are set up for caring for someone since we did it with my Mom so he would be good there. Will see how things go. Prayers please.

The leaves here on the trees seem to be constantly dropping. I don't know how they have any leaves to drop. We sweep or rake daily and could probably do it hourly. Little dates drop all over too. Sure do give some nice shade though.

RonS, can you warm things up at home so it isn't 27* when we get home. This has to be the coldest May on history for MI.

Curtis, take care of yourself. I think Melissa would love an electric bike if she tried one.

So depending on what happens with my brother there is a MH we might stop and see in Colleyville, TX. If he goes to rehab for 2 weeks we will stop. If not, we head straight home. The rig is another Itasca, Ellipse 40TD, 2008. I saw the Winnebago Vectra 40TD here and loved the floor plan. This floorplan is slightly different but I like it better. Just living room furniture placement. Like the color of this better and the miles are MUCH better. 84,000 compared to this with 30.089.

The amazing thing is that the interest rate for RV's has dropped since we started looking. From 6.99% to 3.99%. May be the best time to purchase. Just have to wait until I hear from my brother as to whether he needs us home right away or not.

Hope you all are doing well. Take care and hug someone. Lynne

[ronspradley]

Lynne, praying for brother Kevin. And that your trip home is FUN. Remember, that is why we bought these RV's.

Good Morning Everyone! Coffee is very good today!

Popeye, we all had a great time, good food, spectacular scenery, and the company was the best!
You know, my mom was born Nov. 10th, 1924! One more thing in common! I wish your mom a Happy Birthday, 96, Wow! My mom passed years back, enjoy the time you have with yours, as you never get that time back once they are gone!

Bobby, AKA (Green shirt), Yep so glad Sally felt good enough to spend that day with us! Getting to meet you two, Popeye, and John, was the best!
I agree with Lloyd, those two weeks went way too fast!

Tim, still getting pulled around the lake by Walter?

Lynne, give Jerry our best, hope everything goes as planned! Don't rush the dentist, you might get back home too early and find Sn*w!
Prayers for your brother, hope he come out of this!

Popeye, I have a moose pic, a couple of them!

Everyone have a great day! Rail!

Hope you get to go home this week. Glad your hubby was able to get his dental work done. My DH had his dental work put on hold. We are going to go camping this weekend. We have got to be nuts as it will only be 45* and rainy both days. Hope the weather changes. I hate cold rainy springs. It makes it very hard to get the garden in. DD has to work. They are now letting 150 people in HD. Staying open longer on Sunday. Today she had outside people control duty. No advanced notice. Good thing she had her long johns on. They continue to feed them well on the weekends. Both my cats are greatly improved and have finished their antibiotics.
