Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

LouNY, you and me both. I have 2 Imperial gallons* of dark syrup and will be getting another gallon this spring IF the harvest is good. I consider the dark syrup to be #1 and all the rest # whatever. My family used to do maple syrup for themselves way back in the 1920s through 1950s. They sold the 100 acre maple bush in the early '60s.
I use it on pancakes, ice cream and cake (don't matter what flavour) that is a tad dry.
* 1 Imperial gallon = 160 ounces

64°F and .19 inches rain. Another wet one forecast.

Really neat to meet Dennis and his family. Wish we had a little bit better weather for his visit. A bit envious of the opportunities for Drew and others that have their rolling tours, but I do get lucky on occasion.

Not going to get to mow again, still to wet. Might have to rethink testing the fuel cap fix. Plenty of inside choices available.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Ted, we need to talk about routes going North once I get off 40.
I can go further to other side of Albuquerque but first week in October,
do I have to worry about snow there? do I need to stay on big road 75 or
what about those smaller roads 14, 41 and 285?

funny there is a route 66 rv park in your home town, and I'm staying at route 66 park on other side of
Albuquerque. I can come to Edgewood, but then do I backtrack or take the scenic byway?
just HOW scenic?....

Well, I wouldn't want to stay on the west side of Albuquerque..... not the greatest area.... unless you're about 25 miles out of town....

This is one that opened a couple years ago, on the open plain, about 45 minutes East of Albuquerque, 15 minutes to us.

Cuervo Mountain RV Park - Hipcamp in Moriarty, New Mexico

My family has owned this land for over 400 years. We raised sheep, and now we raise cattle. Cuervo Mountain belongs to my family, hence the name of the park. Learn more about this land: At Cuervo Mountain RV and Horse Hotel we offer 54 pull-thru sites large enough for any size RV (including RV...

This is the nicest in the area, there are a couple about 5 minutes from the house, but they are very old, from the 50's. Not many amenities.

As for routes going north, 41 and 285 are 'wider' 2 lane roads, but very passable with an RV. That's the route that we take up into Colorado (hauling the 29' travel trailer) without any issues. They tie into I-25 in Santa Fe if you want highway travel due north.

Choose a route, then I can let you know what it would be like. There are a few very nice campgrounds with full hookups located at the casinos along the route. They have become popular with the 'non-gaming' RV crowd just because of the good food at the casino restaurants.

Drew, are you going to be going throughTexas first, then NM? Or are you coming from the west and through here on the way back?

I may be kidding myself thinking I can keep this warm

It sounds like a challenge. Good luck!

Good late morning! Low was 26°, heading to an unlikely 50°. Full cloud cover. Still only 39°. A chance for some sprinkles tonight, then good chances for rain tomorrow. Another good chance for precip on Friday. Fingers crossed.... again!

Drew, maybe the propane heater will work...maybe. We have a 1500W heater in ours (which is the double wall acrylic) and it barely keeps it 10-15 degrees warmer when it gets to 25° outside. Basically just to keep the seedlings from the previous season from freezing.

David and Dennis, thanks for sharing the pics of the meet and greet. Neat pics of the volcano. Someday we'll get out there......

Fritz, sorry to hear that you're GD has to deal with something like that. Too much of this happening in today's world.

Still haven't done any of my 'little' projects. Did a bunch of errands and grocery shopping yesterday. Took most of my energy for the day. Wifey said she would like the cabinet done before other projects, so I guess I know what I'll be doing today..... at least figuring out the cut list....

Hope you guys out west don't have to deal with any more flooding. Sad to see all the damage.

Everyone have a great day!

A little late for good morning

39 going to 42 with beautiful sunshine.

Picked up groceries and unloaded and packed away

Helo, have not been able to catch up with D yet. She must be busy. We usually get lots of pictures from her travels but her trip to Riga not so much. Again busy. Although she did send one from a restaurant in Riga with a lot of Soviet era weapons and one of her holding a side arm in one hand and a rocket in the other hand. Hopefully they were all made safe to handle?

On neighbors we have 8 adjoining our property and 7 with no problems. The problems were always related to new owners coming from cities.
How big is 5 acres Apparently they think it stretches way into our property. And smell and sounds of farm animals and equipment is always a problem for new owners One new neighbor originally from France wanted to make our property into a French Chateau. Had to tell him it is a Farm in America. The shooting neighbor finally went too far with his shooting episode at midnight. Shortly after that he hauled out his deer feeders and shelters and we have not heard any more shooting from him. Maybe police involvement?
And the latest violating permit for pond making the driveway into a river.

Flew just north of you, when I recognized Albuquerque I looked back and saw the mountain north of you.

We get a good amount of planes overhead. A few passenger planes, but mainly military. 4 out of 5 times that I was flying back east, I didn't go over the house. The main airline flight path is south of us.

This happened on our flight last week, few rows ahead of us. We almost made emergency landing in Santa Fe. The person was ok when we landed. Saw him but didn’t know who he was.
