Mar 1st - March Already!

Yesterday I started the motor home and the generator and let both warm up. Just preparation for leaving for Tennessee on Monday. I also hauled a bunch of wood from the building out back to the shed by the wood furnace, maybe 6 bucket loads. Just replenishing the supply before I leave. I've been surprised by how much we burned during the past 6 weeks.

We had a light dusting of snow today. I packed my tool boxes back up but did not put them in the motor home. Had the DishTV installer come out and check our installation. He was nice and everything seemed to check out OK. I am not happy with the piddling amount of rain that it takes to cause us to lose the signal, but I guess this is the best they can do. The service guy did make a comment that made sense. He said that even though it might be a light rain here there might be a lot of interference causing weather up higher along the path to the satellite.

I didn't go to volunteer at the Habitat Re-Store today, but Kathy did. I am STILL fighting a cold/sinus's/??? I just can't seem to kick it. Probably being in TN will cure me <grin>.

Did everyone watch the President today? I watched about 3 minutes and by that time I had heard enough lies that I had to shut off the TV and go vomit. It is kind of funny the way he is having to back off from all the dire predictions he and his minions have been making over the past couple of weeks. Arne Duncan, the head of the Dept of Education, still continues to lie about teacher layoffs, even though the fact check people have already said it was a lie.

I wonder why the federal government is paying teachers? Maybe that is just one of the reasons why we have such a debt problem. If State and Local government had to raise taxes to pay for things, rather than using the river of "free money" from DC, we would not have debt problems.
