Problem Solving

Big leak following under the bottom stair and onto the kitchen floor. It took awhile to find where it was coming from, but it was found and fixed..hopefully. There was a lot of water pressure here, probably because there aren't that many campers yet, so we got a regulator and that should do the trick... along with the new part on the pipe.

The "Challenger" has arrived

We got into TT Orlando on Monday the second of November. With water coming in under the step and running onto the kitchen floor... "Huston I think we have a problem" Had to unload everything under camper and take down all the walls to get to a T that was leaking quite a bit. Think it was the high water pressure coming into the house. Fixed the problem and got a regulator.. other than that...we are fat and happy.. going up to the entertainment tonight. Catch ya all later...bye

Lake Gaston, VA


On the road again. Spent the first night at a Flying J just inside of VA. Construction that day had delayed us by 3 hours so we never made our tenitive stop over. Second day on the road took us to an ROD park called "The Club" at Lake Gaston. This is a 20,000 acre lake and we will be back !!

We got in here late afternoon/early evening and of course it ws Halloween, so we watched as all the little tricker treaters came rolling by. We had planned on staying one more night there, but the rain was so bad that I wouldn't have been able to take pictures or explore so we left the following day.

We ate at the club house this night... prime rib 1 1/2 inches thick... the biggest baked potato I've ever seen and a huge salad...all for $10.00. The club house was three stories high with winding knotty pine staircases 6 feet wide going up and coming down. The lower level was designed like something from Bass Pro shop with the falling water and trees. They had white cast iron tables around for sitting and enjoying the sounds of the water.
Their resturant was full service...menu and all... Nice place !! Like I said... we will be back...

Early snow



This definitely got us motivated to pack up and head south!! We only had about 3 inches, but just enough to say "it's time"

Brandon has arrived


We were blessed on Aug. 24th with a new grandbaby... Brandon Lee Brown. I look at him and can almost see those eyes laughing and smiling. He's going to be a "big" boy we think. Mom called today and said that he weighed in at 13.2 lbs.
Big sister Lauren takes very good care of her sibling brother... oh, so much to do... feeding, fetching diapers, watching and tending to him... so much so that it just tuckers her right out.

Mr. Bob Cat


Mr. Bob Cat has decided to take us residence somewhere near our home. I've seen him come as close as 20' from me while tending to my bees and using our yard as a travel path. Many nights coming home from work.. anywhere between 12 and 4 in the morning I have caught him hiking up through the yard. This was taken in broad daylight. You have Mr. Bob Cat... about 45 lbs of him, doing the "take down"... see how close he is to the deck rail... The very next day we had a bear knock down one of my bee hives... so we put up an electric fence laced with raw bacon strips to give it to him in the teeth. Anyway, this is life on the ranch.... Scary isn't it.. since we live only a couple of miles from town.
