The weather has been nice here that past couple of days. A little cool yesterday but the sun made it nice. Today it was warm enough to be outside in a short sleeve shirt.
The day after we arrived here, from TN, we both felt lousy. Mine was just allergies which finally started to improve Saturday. Kathy has a cold and still isn't over it.
Last Friday we took the motorhome up to Camping World in Columbia, to get an estimate. They are going to email us the estimate, but we haven't received it yet. When we got home, and drove it out back of the shed to get it on the parking area, we got it stuck. We stopped trying to move it as soon as the tires started to spin, and just left it set. It is probably dry enough today to move it but there is no hurry so we will wait until tomorrow or maybe Wednesday to move it.
I went to church Sunday but Kathy didn't feel like getting out. It was good to get to see everybody.
This morning I went to the YMCA for the first time since Oct 1st last year. I was there a couple of hours. I did 50 minutes on the treadmill and spent another hour on the weight machines. I could tell the my "fitness" had deteriorated since I was last there. The difference wasn't horrible, but it was definitely noticeable.
We have a new Harbor Freight store in Jefferson City, I went there after the YMCA. I bought some clamps to replace those I can't find since moving from Lebanon to TN and then to MO. Also picked up some other "good deals". I may go back tomorrow and buy a 12" sliding, double bevel, cut off saw. It is an off-brand name but for the "super sale" price of $170 I think I will give it a try. At Lowes the off-brand price is $299, for a brand name saw the prices are $460-600.
After getting home I did a few odds and ends and then changed the oil in the lawn mower and mowed our lawn for the first time. It was almost 7PM when I came into the house. I LOVE THESE LONGER DAYS & WARMER WEATHER.
Not sure what we will do tomorrow. Some of it will depend on how sore I am <grin>.
May God bless you and yours.

March 24th AM -- Rainy & Cool/Cold
Kelsey brought Lydia over this morning at 6:30 because she has classes today. Andy went to an auto auction today. They have been selling quite a few cars.
We have been playing and watching TV. It was an early morning, we don't normally get up nearly this early, and even though it is only 9:30 I think we are all ready for a nap. Kathy has had a cold since the 2nd day we returned to MO and my sinus's are acting up, but not bad. Love that MO weather.
I was supposed to take the motorhome to Camping World this morning, for an estimate on the body damage. Because the weather people said we were supposed to have thunderstorms this morning I postponed the appointment until Friday. We have had rain, on and off, but we haven't had any thunderstorms yet. (These are part of the same group of people who want to destroy our economy because they just know that man is causing global warming.) It was only 36 when we got up. I doubt that we will accomplish much outside today.
We have seen deer pasturing in our lawn every day since we have been home. I put out some deer corn but think the squirrels probably ate all of it. We have LOTS of squirrels, time to get out the rifle again, and start thinning them out. After I shot the first 4 last year, all from our porches, they stopped coming to the house.
Yesterday I cut up part of a dead tree that has been down for several years, and hauled the logs back by our woodshed.
I had started my tractor the first day we were back. It started easily after sitting for over 3 months. I didn't move it then but did yesterday. The first thing I started to do was smooth out the ruts we had cut getting the motorhome to its parking area. I noticed the front tires spinning but nothing was happening with the rear tires even though it was in 4WD. Initially I was worried that something was wrong with the hydrostatic drive. When I switched to 2WD the tractor wouldn't move until I "locked" the drive wheels. The right tire looked like it was wobbling. I leaned over it to look down and noticed that it felt spongy. I got off to look at it and noticed that the bead was no longer tight against the rim. The tire was flat but the sidewall is so stiff, and the tractor is so light, that even when uninflated the tire holds the tractor up. The tire was also wet around the bead. I now know that the back tires were filled with fluid, for ballast. I jacked it up and beat on the tire with a sledge until the bead sealed enough for me to reinflate it. I couldn't find where it might have been leaking. It held air OK while I used it yesterday and I haven't checked it this morning.
When I started picking up the logs it became obvious that I need to get the tire filled with fluid ASAP. I had to be REALLY careful picking up the logs because I kept lifting the unballasted right rear tire off the ground. After loading some stuff on the trailer and hauling it to the house I put the carrier on the rear. Once I got a log on the carrier I had some counterweight and it wasn't as squirrelly. I think it probably took me 10 minutes, at most, to cut up the wood and then took me several hours to get it out of the woods and up to the house. There is more out there but by the time I got what I had cut up to the house I was wore out.
Tom - you will be happy to know that I changed the oil & filter in the tractor when I finished with the wood. It only has 268 hours on it. The maintenance schedule calls for oil changes every 100 hours and filter changes every 200 hours. I had to go to the house and get the manual before I managed to locate the drain plug. It is hidden by the subframe that was added with the loader. It isn't hard to get to, with a socket and ratchet, once you know where it is.
I still haven't resolved our Internet provider issues yet. CenturyLink is still sending us overdue bills for the cancellation charge they say we owe. (I've told them I would pay the charge as soon as they provide me with a copy of the audio file where I agreed to a contract extension. I filed a complaint with the Consumer Fraud Division of the Missouri Attorney General's office, in Feb. I know they received my complaint because after I hassled them they confirmed that they are working on the issue.)
I've searched for other providers who advertise that they provide internet service in our area. The only competitors I've found are satellite internet providers. There are 2 of them but the services they offer are slower speeds and higher prices.
I'm going to call CentryLink and see if they will re-establish our service while we dispute the old bill. I doubt that they will, but guess it won't hurt to ask.
The good news is that our cell signal, at the house, seems to have improved dramatically. We have service throughout the house now and I have decent speeds when I tether my laptop to my phone to get to the Internet. Kathy has the same Iphone that Kelsey & Andy had when they lived with us. They had to go outside, on the rear deck, to be sure they had a good connection. She can use her phone in the house.
Time to do some online shopping. I'm going to order a new set of bibs and enough cane to cane one of our chairs.
May God bless you and yours.

March 21st - Back in Missouri
We have been back in Missouri for several days now. The trip back was okay until I pulled in to the little store down the road from us. We always unhook the car in their parking lot because we can't make the turn into our driveway with the car hooked to the motorhome.
It was drizzling rain, and I was a little tired. I was trying to make sure to get as far as I could to one side of the parking lot so that we could make a U-turn with the motorhome and head it back out, after unhooking the car. Sadly I got to far to the edge, to quick. In addition to groceries the store sells storage buildings. They have them around the perimeter of their parking lot. As you can see in the photo below I got a little to close to one of them as I was making the corner around it. The corner of the building eave is several inches inside the window.
I have an Tuesday morning appointment at the Camping World store in Columbia, about an hours drive from us, to get an estimate for the insurance company. The guy who manages the store is our neighbor. He was really good about it. I told him to let me know what it cost to repair the eave and I would pay him.
As I drove into our driveway I saw a deer standing in the drive, it was eating something along the edge of the driveway. I took this photo through the windshield but it let me get clear out of the car before it finally took off. When it did take off I noticed that there were 3 other deer in the trees that show in the right side of the photo.
No surprises at home. The only things turned off were the pump and the hot water heater. Both of them started up fine.
We haven't been doing a lot since getting back. We finally finished unloading the motorhome today. Lydia was here the first day back. Kathy has been doing some cleaning and laundry. I split a few pieces of wood by hand and have done a little (very little) tree trimming and weed eating. Nothing to exciting.
Our son Doug, he lives in Indianapolis, had a knee swell up and he was admitted to the hospital a couple of days ago. He has an infection, I think behind the knee cap. The Doctor thought they might have to do surgery but this morning it appeared that the strong antibiotics are working and that surgery won't be necessary.
May God bless you and yours.

March 17th - Marion RV Park & Campground - Marion, Illinois
Today was a travel day, but we have stopped doing the marathon days, especially when Lydia is along. She travels really well but we thing asking her to spend 12 hours in her car seat is to much.
We stopped at the Crossville Tractor Supply this morning and "topped off" our propane tank. After that we headed northwest. With the exception of two places where some much needed pothole patching was occurring in Tennessee, traffic was not a problem. It was pretty windy and blew us around a little, but nothing Kathy couldn't handle.
We stopped at the Kentucky Welcome Center, on I24, for lunch. It was warm enough that we had a picnic. There was no playground equipment but Kathy and Lydia had a good walk.
Both the Tennessee and Ohio rivers are overflowing their banks. Below is a photo of the main channel of the Ohio.
Parked at the campground.
Testing the campground swing set.
And the slide (Grammy even took a turn sliding down the slide).
She did some climbing on the monkey bars, but finally gave up on them. She just isn't quite tall enough.

She did give the spring mounted tractor heck.
It is supposed to get down to freezing tonight. Hopefully that will be the last of it we will see this winter. This winder we have experienced less than 10 days with lows below freezing. That has been plenty for me.
Tomorrow we head on to Centertown.
May God bless you and yours.
March 16th - Company Has Come & Gone
Nancy, Cindy, Doug & Oliver arrived about 3:30 AM on Friday the 13th and left early Sunday morning. Kelsey & Lydia arrived Friday afternoon and Kelsey left this morning. Lydia is riding home, in the "mohome", as she calls it, with us. We are planning on leaving in the morning and taking 2 days to get back to Centertown. Everyone's travels appear to have been uneventful. While they were here we had a combined birthday party for Merv & Tom, which was why everyone came.
Grammy had a good helper while she worked on food.
Visiting while in the "cabinet", as Lydia calls it.
Kathy, Kelsey, Lydia & I took a nice walk in our woods one afternoon.
Stopped for a rest.
I haven't had any significant problems after having the tooth pulled. Very minimal pain. Just waiting for it to heal up.
Today's activities centered around riding in Tom & Mary Lou's golf cart. It was a big item on Lydia's things "to do" list, while in TN.
God is good. May He bless you and yours.

March 12th - Nice Day, Except for Tooth Extraction
Weather here has alternated back and forth between mostly sunny and drizzling rain, but no more below freezing temperatures the past several days.
What have I been doing?
Earlier I included some photos of the trees down along the "shortcut path" to Tom & Mary Lou's. I cut up the down trees and opened up the path again.
T&ML's driveway was getting a little rutted so I used Tom's tractor and did some grading (more play than work). It isn't perfect but its better than it was and will hold for awhile.
I had marked a dead tree, located right along side their driveway, last fall. It wasn't very bit, about a 9" butt diameter, but it was pretty good wood for firewood. I cut it down and split it.
I've also been doing a little work on our "cabin". I had been "stressing" over how I was going to get the drywall that I have hung, especially in the kitchen area, taped and primed. I have had the kitchen base cabinets and counter top since last fall but haven't wanted to install them until I get the drywall taped and painted.
Several years ago Doug brought down a stainless steel, restaurant style sink and set it up at the infamous S&S unit over at the campground. The water supply connection were just garden hoses and the drain was never completely connected.
I "borrowed" the sink and moved it to our kitchen. It only took about 30 minutes, after I got it set in place, to have it hooked up and functional. Kathy did some cleaning and it cleaned up beautifully.
The cabin is now officially fully functional. Heat, AC, full bath & full kitchen. Today I ordered the 4 windows that remain to be installed in the south and west walls and an exterior door for the south wall. The local hardware store in Crossville is just awesome to work with. When I know when I coming back to TN, next month, I will call them and give them a couple of days notice and they will deliver the stuff. FOR FREE!
I've put up a few more sheets of drywall and still have probably 24 more sheets before I get it all up. I think I will call the guy who I want to tape the drywall and get his opinion on whether he wants to try and do the entire cabin at once, or if he would rather I move all the loose stuff to one side, let him to that side, move the stuff to the other side and let him finish. I've got enough "stuff" in there that taping the ceiling might be a problem if he tries to do it all at once.
I've been having problems with a back tooth for a couple of months. It has never been really painful but it was sore if I chewed much on that side. Years ago the tooth had had a root canal and had a crown on it, so having problems with it wasn't a shock. A piece broke off the edge when in Texas I and saw a dentist down there. He told me that it needed to be pulled. I asked if it could wait until I got home and he said he didn't think it would be a problem. I went in to see a dentist in Crossville last week and she agreed that it needed to be pulled. She pulled it this afternoon. She told me that she thought it would come out with no problems and so far she was right. The extraction went really smooth. I went back and crawled in the chair about 12:55 and at 1:20 I was back out in the car ready to come home. Probably 20 minutes of that time was waiting for the anesthetic to kick in. I have some pain pills and even though it really painful I haven't been bashful about taking them.
Kathy's sisters, Cindy & Nancy, are picking up Cindy's son Oliver and our son Doug in Indianapolis this evening coming down here for the weekend. Kelsey & Lydia are leaving Centertown, and heading this way in the morning. Tom & Merv's birthdays are next week. Merv will be 96.
Our plan it to head back to Centertown the middle of next week.
God is good. I am such a blessed person.
May God bless you and yours.

March 6th - Cold & Icy
Temperature got down to 12 degrees last night. It was the coldest night we have spent in the motor home. The good news is that nothing froze. Today's high was 35 and tonight's low is forecast to be 20, then things warm back up and dry out a little.
The driveway was a little soft when we backed in and parked. but only right out next to the road. The photo below was taken before we got the snow and ice.
The photo below was taken on the path that is the "shortcut" to Tom & Mary Lou's. There were 2 areas like this, where the ice (the ice that came last week) caused small pine trees to fall over.
The photo below shows another pine tree across the path. This one has a butt diameter of about 12".
I took the photo below at our place this morning. It doesn't even come close to showing how beautiful the new ice looked, especially with the awesome blue sky background.

The trees in Tom & Mary Lou's drive way were equally as beautiful.
Tom came home from the hospital today. His back is still very sore, and stiff. We are certainly praying that things improve soon.
Time for supper.

March 3rd - Drizzle
There are still over 300 people in Cumberland County who don't have power after the ice storm a couple of weeks ago. Weather has been okay here until today when it started drizzling rain around 1:30PM. We got a scare about 5PM, the power went off. It came back on at 6:30PM but we were beginning to wonder.
I've not done a lot while here. I've run about 2 tanks of gas through the chainsaw doing cleaning up the fallen trees that were partially blocking Tom (Kathy's brother) & Mary Lou's driveway. Tom had back surgery yesterday. He will be in the hospital several more days. Hopefully this time the surgery will be successful. This surgery was much more invasive than the last one. His activities may be limited for as long as 5 months.
The weather is really changing. We may get heavy rains tonight and tomorrow and then the temperatures are supposed to drop dramatically. Right now, 9PM, it is 57 degrees, the warmest it has been all day. It is supposed to stay this warm until around noon tomorrow and then temperature is supposed to drop steadily until is reaches 9 degrees Friday morning.
Yesterday I got to spend some time visiting with a couple of the neighbors, Delmer & Marvin Burgess. Today, while I was out doing clean-up work I saw other neighbors out doing the same and went down and visited with Bill & Sally for awhile.
Tomorrow's activities will be weather dependent. If it rains as much as is being forecast I make put up more dry wall in our cabin. If not I may cut some firewood.
