Game Day

Still doing the primer on the walls which looks like will take longer than I thought.
Of course I have to take breaks in the mean time like going to the store and there is the laundry which I take to the laundromat to dry.  It helps quite a bit that Nancy is able to do the washing and spin drying in the little Washer/Spin Dryer we have.

I will probably take the day off today to watch the college football games that are on the tv.
And go to the store for some of the week-end specials they are having.

Here is a photo of the sunset we had the other evening looking from our patio.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Doctor's Report

Well the Big Day of the election is over and I'm sure glad it is.  All the ads on the tv were so many they hardly had time to show anything else.
Watching all the election ads you would think there are no honest people in our government and no honest people running for office.

As far as the college basketball goes the opening of the season was something to watch.
It looks as though some teams are already in there prime and others still have work to do.

We also went to the doctor for our checkup with Nancy doing about the same.
I had to have an x-ray of my right hip joint and back.  The x-ray showed no broken bones or anything out of place.  What it did show that the hip bone has some arthritis and the back has bone spurs on each vertebrae.  So it looks like a little pain medication for me.

With our motorhome being 17 years old Nancy and I decided it was time to do a little inside modifications.  With me being closer to 81 then 80 we know it will be a slow process, but hey we've got the whole winter to work on it.
So yesterday I started putting the primmer paint on the wall. "Oh my this is going to take a while".

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Big Day

Today Nancy and I have our regular getting back to Florida appointment to check us out. 
I've got the right hip joint that has been a pain for a couple of months that needs checking.
It has been such a pain that I can't  self up.  So I know an x-ray is probably taken. 
Also both of us will have some blood work on the order.

Today is a big day for people in the USA with the voting going on and most of them watching the results on the tv.
It is also my big day because the College Basketball Season starts today.

Is this a big day for you? 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Big Storm

We had a rough day weather wise yesterday.  We had thunderstorms with high winds and lightning plus warnings of four different tornadoes.  I didn't take down the patio awning but I wished I would have. The wind was giving it a workout and we thought it was going to tear it off, but it held its ground.

This Dollar General Store didn't fare as well with a broken door window.  Several houses had trees blown down on the roofs and carports smashed up.

Today is a different story as the sun is shinning nice and bright.

Thanks for atopping by and have a great day.

We got a Fireplace

Yesterday the morning time started out as usual, catching up on reading the morning blogs to see what everyone was doing. Reading the home town paper to see who was doing what and to go over the obituaries looking to see if we have lost any friends.

By the time I was finished on the computer Nancy had our waffles ready.  I decided I would try a banana on mine.  I've always just put syrup on mine so adding a banana was new for me.  I'm glad I did because it really tasted so good.
With breakfast out of the way it was time to do a little shopping.  My first stop was the roadside market where I bought a couple of cucumbers and a small tray of apples.

Then a stop at the Ollies Outlet Store. I bought us a small electric fireplace, its the kind that has the rotating flames and is soothing to watch.  Our small heater that we had stopped working a week ago and we have had it for several years so it was time for a new one.

Next stop was Save A Lot for a few groceries including can items.

After getting back home, putting away the things that I bought, it was time for other things.
Rolling out the patio awning and anchoring it down was the first in order because Nancy says it feels more like we are settled in when the awning is out.
The site that we are on is no level so letting down the levelers the steps are to high for Nancy and I have to have a small platform under the bottom step.

Later on in the evening we had a peanut butter sandwich to go with the good homemade soup that Nancy had made for us. She always makes enough for several days, so I know what we are having for supper today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

In Florida

We made it to Florida somewhere around 4:30 Monday evening.

Since we spend more time in Florida it seems like home than any other place.

 

We saw a lot of used to be billboard sign that was the result of Hurricane Michael.

Lots of pumpkin sales in the small towns.

Fresh turned fields ready for the planting of crops.

We are taking our time getting settled in for the winter season.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Leaving out tomorrow

We woke up this morning to the temperature of 49° and it sure did feel cold.

We have been enjoying visit with our grandson Jeremy and family.   We have been over to their house for a few hours each evening and will do so today.
Last evening we were over the great grand children were busy getting ready putting on their costumes to go trick & treating.  Of course they had to get in the act of scaring Nancy and myself.

After they were gone we stayed a while with Jeremy to watch a college football game.

This is our view looking out the window parked in our site here in Cain's Creekside RV Park.  This is a very nice quite place that is a "Passport America" member park.

Below are a few photos taken while visiting my brother Nick.

This is one of the many meals we had featuring ham this time.

I know its almost winter time but the small apple tree has a few blossoms on it.+

Tomorrow we will leave out going to Florida.  We may reach the Winter Paradise Park in Hudson, Florida or not. (we will see).

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

A Good Visit

Well short time visiting with Nick and Joann has come to an end again.  The visit is always to short but even if we stayed a couple of weeks it would seem like a short time.
Nick and Joann must think we are starving because they are always wanting to fed us something.  It is hard turning them down because I always gain a few pounds when we visit them.
They are overly good to us.
So thank you Joann and Nick for another good visit.

So now we are parked in the Cain's Creekside RV Park in Hahira, Georgia while we visit our grandson Jeremy and family.  We will be here for three days then moving on down in Florida where we be for the winter season.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Short Posting

Our time at the Lake Sinclair campground came to an end yesterday.   Because it was time for us to head on down the road to visit a few day with Nick and Joan (my brother and his wife).

This is another stop that we make coming and going to Florida that we enjoy very much of our family time.   It seems like I always have things to do when I visit with Nick that I have to have his help.
This time the help I need is that there is a small leak somewhere with the radiator on the cavalier tow car.
That will be if it warms up as it was 41º when we woke up this morning.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

On the road again

Cushman RV Repair got the new in tank fuel into the shop by 10:30 Tuesday morning.
Then it was installed, the fuel put back in, all the paper work with the tow truck company and Cushman finished and We were on our way by 1:30 pm.

The Tow Truck Company (Reeves Wrecker Service) owner Tommy gave me a break on the cost because I didn't have any insurance or tow service policy.

Also I was satisfied on the cost of the repair from Cushman RV Repair which I thought was going to be more than they charged me.

So now we are here at the Lake Sinclair Campground in the  Oconee National Forest for a few days trying to unwind from the hectic week we have had.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.  

Its the fuel Pump

Well the large tow truck came yesterday as promised.  After backing the tow truck up to the front of the motor home and raising the front of the motor home the driver (Rusty) had to crawl under it to disconnect the drive shaft.
It didn't take very long before he was on the way with Nancy and me following in the car.  It wasn't a very good feeling to see our home moving down the road like this.

After getting to the repair shop we waited a short time to see if they needed any information.
They would start on finding the problem after they finished up on another job they were working on.

So Nancy and I took off to the Cracker Barrel to get us a late breakfast with us taking our time eating and enjoying it knowing we had no need rushing.
After our meal we went to the Dollar Tree for a few thing that we needed.
From there it was to Walmart to do some shopping and more or less just to idle our time away.

After getting to the repair shop and our motor home I saw this buckets and buckets of gasoline so with the service manger (Jeff) telling me what I suspected that the fuel pump in the tank was reason for the motor home not starting.  He was waiting for the technician to remove the pump from the tank so he could get the numbers off it to order a new one.

We spent the night in the motor home where it sits hooked up to 50 amp so that was the nice part of it that we can be here as long as it takes to repair and not have the expense of a motel.
We it will not be more that a few days.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
