Getting up at 7:30 this morning we really didn’t know just how much we were going to accomplish today. Kathy was already coming downstairs even before I had all the Window Shades raised. As we ate our breakfast we could see Ken outside doing some last minute packing.

Picture forwarded from Ken.

Kathy went to the Computers while I did my inside chores then I headed over to wish Kan Safe Travels one more time. He offered me a little advice on angling the Backup Camera. Even though Skelly had helped in the pretravel setup Ken insisted that he was doing the driving.

Being Canadian and needing Cell Phones in the US we always found TracFones very reliable. When our time approached for us to add more Time on the Phones they would E-Mail us a notification. Well that’s all changed. Now they send you a Text Message the day it’s about to expire. Since we leave our Phones inside when we are working outside and we Don’t Text we missed that message. I spent nearly an Hour on Kathy’s TracFone trying to get mine reactivated and still didn’t get it because their Computer does not recognize 82100 as an American Zip Code. In Canada our Postal Code is a combination of Alphabetical and Numerical Digits. Everyone’s Credit Cards are registered according to their Mailing Address so when we use our Canadian Credit Cards in the US we simply punch in the Three Numerical Digits followed by Two Zeros. TracFone’s Computer is now programmed to only accept Credit Cards with US Zip Codes. Now I’ll have to go buy a Pre-Paid Card at a commercial outlet where I can use my Canadian Credit Card.

Since we needed Water in our Fresh Water Tank I headed over to the Water Fill Station here in La Posa South LTVA. There were very few people getting Water as more and more RVs are pulling out Daily. I only filled our Fresh Water Barrel with about Thirty Gallons of Water. I was able to transfer the entire amount to our Fresh Water Tank so that I’ll be able to stow the Barrels this week.

Kathy made Chicken Stir Fry and Egg Rolls for lunch topped off with an Apple Sauce Cup for dessert. This would be our largest meal of the day.

Before Ken had set up his RV in January Kathy had noticed that there were lots of Nails around the old Firepit from people that had burned Old Skids. She had already used our Magnet to clean a few others up so now that Ken had left for the Season she went over to clean it up. We always try to leave things better then when we arrive and this was another of Kathy’s contribution to that. It took her nearly an Hour but she collected over Thirty Pounds of Nails into a Plastic Lined Box. Tomorrow I’ll bring the Truck over to collect it and bring it to the Trash Bins.

I again worked off the Truck Tailgate to finish Wiring, Sealing, Assembling and finally Mounting the new Mudflaps. Kathy and Wayne were visiting in the Shade of the Trailer to keep cool while I lay on my mat under the Truck to finish fastening them in place. Now the Truck looks the way it should.

For supper Kathy made Chicken Noodle Soup and Chicken Sandwiches. We also shared an Orange and some Yogurt Cups for dessert.

(L-R) Kathy, Sue and Wayne.

This past winter we picked up the same amount of Firewood as we had in the past but the Weather had made it difficult to have any Campfires. Since we are not supposed to transport it across State Lines this last week the Weather has been perfect. We once again had another Campfire with Wayne and Sue and their Fur-Kids. It’s so peaceful and relaxing allowing us to share stories of our lives. We still have more Firewood to burn another Day.

We called it a night shortly after 10:00 so with all that Fresh Air I don’t think we’ll have any problems sleeping tonight. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
