Good morning!!!!

[m7040]

Picked up groceries on the way back from wife's doctor clinic appointment. Her injections took 20 mins including the mixing of the biological meds. Cost 12000 dollars. She needs this monthly. Fortunately Medicare and CareFirst covers the cost. Someone is making money on this!!

Found out we needed the booster for Bordetella for Cody to take him to the groomer so getting that late today. Good the groomer is careful and wants to keep the dogs safe. I think we picked the right place.

Set up an appointment to have the shoulder injury looked at an Orthopedic clinic. Keeping it at rest has helped but then when using it again it comes back with more pain. We will see what they will suggest.

Drew why can the car not stay in the garage. The new motorhome is going in the back of the house right?

Ron, that is good size lake. How big is it? Can it be used for boating/fishing?

LS, I feel the cold a lot more as I get older too. Dress in more layers and using heated west a lot

The kids have been dropping off flowers for wife and it now looks like a flower store inside.

Frits, I sort of misspoke, yes to rear and side of house but still in driveway. My raised veggie gardens are behind the house, plus the existing one small spot for my one ton trailer.
All the clearances are too tight to do anything but back it down the driveway and then plug a 15amp cord into garage.
Going out should be fine, backing in will be a treat with mailbox, shrubs and my neighbor across the street who has a rock garden somewhat illegally all the way out to the pavement in the ROW.
will just take me a few back and forths, rv has a decent rear camera on it.

So golf cart and my lawn mower and also my Gravely garden tractor (soon coming back from loan to a friend) which will totally fill up garage.

more amazon deliveries, most went to garage awaiting rv. Then since it was still warm out, waxed rear of car.

while rv is in gravel driveway, will probably turn on autoleveling which will take some weight off the tires. I got a cover for the front windshield and for the tires.
still waiting on sheets to arrive today, figure I'll be doing wash later. Most of the silverware, plates and small appliances have now arrived. I have to thoroughly sanitize the inside
of the rv before I start loading stuff into it. I bet it will be delivered very clean on the outside though.

I'm already considering an upgrade to a 15k heat pump from the oem 13.5k roof a/c. Will likely take rv to Florida in late March, and that will tell me whether the stock a/c is enough.
It wasn't on my first rv, had to use fans to move air around, and if rv site is out in full sun, in Florida, doubt it will be adequate. It's a ducted system at least. I really want a heat pump so I don't have to burn my own propane at campsites.

Buckeye, the TS raised beds are nice. all pieces are painted both sides and wrapped in plastics they won't get scratched during shipment. 32 bolts with wing nuts for attaching the corners. There are two like this one in the package. The corner is not bent that is just the rocks reflecting on the paint, and they include a pair of garden gloves in the box.

Ron, that is good size lake. How big is it? Can it be used for boating/fishing?

Lake is a former gravel pit. About 1/4 mile by 1/2 mile. Great fishing for walleye and bass. Lake is private. Pontoons and Jet skies. East end has 5 homes. All $1 million +. Rest of property around lake is tied up in court because of failure to pay taxes. Been that way for over 15 years. There is another lake west of it. Tied up in same court case.

Sausage batch #3 is a winner, added lime juice, mustard, and apple cider vinegar to give it some pizzazz it was missing.

Kyle, your closest hospital, St. Mark's hospital, LaGrange, is starting to shut down some services. ER is still open for out-patient care - simple broken bones and stitches but anything that will require a night in the hospital they will probably have to transport to Austin as they will not have hospital rooms staffed.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.5C and it's presently 24.2C, overcast with a gentle breeze. The Bureau of Many Guesses have issued a 'heat warning' for Friday of +30C temperatures... I suppose that 'we'll' see if it comes true or if they're just covering their arses.

In anticipation of this event, yesterday I did a tip run even though my bin was only 3/4 full; there's no reason to have whatever's in there to 'percolate' for later and attract flies. Finished up the day by dropping a round of hay into Paddock #6.

Today is 'into town' for Senior Discount (5%) groceries and whatever else comes up.

That's about it, take care all.

This story that is all over the news outlets about the Ukrainian children being sent to Russia and housed in camps came from our daughters program that she established and got funding for and is managing.
It is focussed on discovering Russian war crimes and making it public.
