Apr 21st - Generator Oil Change

I changed the oil in the generator in our motorhome today. The oil change was not a big deal but getting to the filter was something of a challenge. It will be much easier the next time now that I know the "tricks".

It was WARM here again today. The high was 91. I can hardly believe this but, according to Weatherbug, tomorrows high is supposed to be 66 with a low of 46 tomorrow night. Last nights low was 53. Wednesday there is a chance of some rain but other than that there is no rain in the forecast until after we leave here on Thursday. By the way, this weather worked out perfect for our laying the carpet at the carpet pool game. The adhesive needs warm weather to cure and normally they don't get warm enough weather this time of year. God provided us with the temperatures we needed to get the job done.

I think I posted a similar photo previously but can't help myself. As I walked up to check on the floor in the bathroom (it is no longer "tacky", PTL) I looked back down at the motorhome and the tree beside it and another off to the right. The two tall trees are Douglas firs, not coastal redwoods, that are at least 100' tall.

Kathy and the troops (Doug, Kelsey and Andy) went house shopping in Missouri today. Actually Kathy has been house shopping since early last November. We made an offer and had it accepted. Unless something odd happens we will have a house in Missouri around July 1. (Not sure what we will do with it, I will be in Alaska then, Lord willing)

The address is 12015 Black Rock Lane; Centertown, MO. It is less than 7 miles, about a 12-15 minute drive, from Kelsey & Andy's home. Not sure how the map will show up but here it is.

It is about a 20 minute drive, all 4 lane highway to downtown Jefferson City.

The house. It has a fully finished, poured concrete walls, "walkout basement". I'm told that there is a nice deck across at least part of the back.

The dining room from two different views.

Looking from the dining room into the kitchen area.

The 28x50 "outbuilding". (Sadly not nearly tall enough for the motorhome.) It does have a concrete floor. It was the guys woodworking shop. Doug said the guy has a fantastic set up for woodworking. Downside is that there is no attached garage and this building is a decent hike to the house. When I asked Doug if he would park in it and walk to the house in the winter he said it was to far to walk.

The house is in the middle of 4.4 acres of woods. There is a small pond that you can see from the deck.

It appears that the people we are buying from either built the house, or had it built, in 1995.

Guess that is enough for tonight. Time to play a little (on the computer) and then go back home.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
