Last leg

It's always sad coming home from a trip.  I'd like to pick up and leave one day and stay tripping my way around until I'm too old to stop, but that is not in the cards or at least not yet.  On our last day out, we left the campground in Tennessee around 6:00 AM and hit the road for the final 8 hour drive home.  One thing that I noticed were the roads.  The closer we got to home the worse the roads became.  Winter weather really wreaks havoc on pavement.  That being said there is no excuse for what you have going on Cincinnati.  Yeah, I'm calling you out.  I thought I lost the trailer in a pothole at one point.  My back still hurts from the torture of riding through there.

It also began to rain the closer we got to home.  That coupled with the grey sky only contributed more to my melancholy feeling at returning.  Oh well, it was a great time and we have only a little way to go before the next road trip!

I'll be calling the dealership and setting up an appointment to have the vent covers replaced and a few other small things that came up during our outing.  Hopefully all will be done well in time for us to start packing in preparation to hit the road again.

After getting stuck in the muddy driveway and yard a couple of times, I did finally get the trailer parked and the Donk was really excited to be home with Rocky and Sara.  Of course it did boost my mood a little bit to be greeted at the door by our grandpuppy as well!

There and back again....

We had a great two weeks in Michigan.  It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time.  It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving.  Still it was a good time. Plans from here?  Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again.  This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around.  The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ!  More to come as we get closer.

Missing Chappy

It's not even been two entire weeks and I miss Chappy.  Since we took him out to the summer campground I've been really wanting to go out there and this long holiday weekend is the perfect time. The site that we were put at is very nice.  It has a deck that was made by the last residents and it works perfectly for us.  We'll be heading out there after I get done with work and I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the fire pit tonight with a cold beer and maybe my pipe.

Long time no update - So I'll make it a long post!

 Sorry for the long delay in updating here.  There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening?  Well, the fun never stops that is for sure.  Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it.  A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house.  Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents.  The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill.  Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new.  I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts.  Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
