Added a 1.5 inch memory foam topper to rv bed yesterday, made a huge difference, but what a pain it is to make those beds.
I think I might try sleeping on it tonight actually. Need to test the heating in the rv anyway, though unless it's really cold I travel with two
small electric heaters with thermostats. Almost silent heat vs all kinds of noise with stock hvac. Campground supplies the AC, might as well use that vs
my propane tank for heat.

Pleasant dreams, Drew! I'm pretty sure the 32 year old foam pad for the VW camper is gonna need some help, too, so if you like your topper, would you mind sharing make and model with us? I've also purchased a propane powered heater for it, and special ducting that's supposed to make it quieter. I'm not optimistic about how quiet it might be, though, so I'm thinking about an electric blanket to use when there's electricity available in the campground. Never used an electric blanket before, though, so not sure how warm they actually get. Will they keep you toasty down into the 40F temperature range?

Good morning!
49°F and going to a high of 50. 40% chance of rain. The 40% chance of rain just became 100%. It is raining now.

At trip to town is in the cards for today. I need to replace the batteries in the block heater remotes.It is better to do it now than to wait until the batteries are dead, then scramble to find some.


Have a good day all

Morning everyone! 52 here going to 54. Will be painting a bedroom this long weekend. Then if there’s time I have a yard full of downed leaves to pick up. Glad to hear everyone is getting better.
Jay did you travel rt.2 or the pike on your trip? Glad you had a safe/good time.
I have 3 days of training in Boston next week so that will be all that’s accomplished. Will be spending more time commuting then training.
Have more work needed done at a few relatives houses but they will have to wait. Ordered a set of spacers and tire chains for the B2650, hopefully no more slipping this winter. Need to get the blower mounted...yeesh it never ends! Lol. Keep safe everybody!

47 looking at 77.

Where are the skunks when you actually want one? Been on a 20 minute armed patrol again with flashlight...no signs of 'em...just a coon to run off.

Irv, sorry to hear about your issues with dad.

Good to hear your health report, Jay.

Nice looking job on the guitar, PJ. Strange, but nice. :)

RNG, are you already up, or not in bed, yet? Or middle of the night bathroom break, maybe.

I think I will start up my tractor for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks and bring a load of firewood to the porch to get things ready...also need to clean the chimney and woodstove.

34 degrees this morning, going for a high of 65. We have a frost advisory, but I don't think I have any frost; just dew on the grass. The indoor temperature was 3 degrees below our normal setting, so I turned on the heat for the first time this season just to keep the wife happy.

Well, I missed it again. Two hours after my original post (above), the temperature went on down to 31 degrees and the FROST on the grass is very obvious.

Coffee is done brewing. 37° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 50° with mostly sunny skies. Slept in this morning. Got pond finished yesterday. Need to get some bird seed for the feeders. Give both dogs a bath. That should be enough for today. Colors are starting show on trees.

Irv, good to hear from you. Coming up on 8 years and over 100k post on GM thread. Thanks. Best wishes for your Dad. Prayers sent.

Drew, we had a 2" memory foam in out motorhome. Made a terrible mattress very comfortable. We also got a mattress cover that kept cold and heat from coming up threw mattress. Many RV's do not have heat under beds. That make them very cold at night. I could not find the one we bought. But I am sure they are still made.

Jay,glad to hear you are feeling better.

PJ, nice guitar.

I'm sure I missed some. Everyone have a good day.

Good Morning All.

Good Morning. It's 54° this morning, forecast for 71° this afternoon and continuing winds. More rain is in the forecast starting Tuesday so ... fingers crossed. The 1"+ we got yesterday won't break our drought or end our burn bans. There are presently 155 out of 254 Texas counties under burn bans.

We're holding our "neighborhood night out" this evening at our VFD this evening. Always a great event and hopefully .... cooler temperatures will bring out neighbors we rarely see.

Jay ... glad you made it home safe. You did make me hungry for some good "chow da" though.

PJ .... very nice guitar build.

BEF ... glad you got your GDO installed without incident. Bananas are loaded with potassium.

Drew ... you can get inexpensive Sunbeam electric blankets at Wally World. They're nice to turn on, 30 minute before you go to bed, to warm everything up.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Prayers to all.
