Finally!!!

Well, it finally happened. Yep, I'm talking about this job being over! Today was my last day of work here. I did walk to work every day-I did get a ride part way to work one day and another day, a ride home. Even in the rain, snow, ice, wind, cold and darkness (4am) I would make the 15 minute trek, not missing a scheduled work day. And, yes, we did have some hot days, but with it so cold now, it is hard to remember wearing shorts. Now we will prepare for some travels and holidays. And in late January we will be off to our next adventure in a warmer area-I hope. We will prep for our holiday travels over the next couple of days, then head north for a few weeks, then south for a few months. I am tired today so will start packing and organizing and preparing for our departure tomorrow sometime-no hurry, no alarm-except Brandy if she needs to go out. We know that will take a couple of days in good weather, so it will be at least 2 days in the cold. We are now up to around half of the campers here that have had at least some frozen troubles of some sort, including us now too. Our sewer drain hose became brittle and broke. I will blow out the water lines tomorrow to eliminate any chance of more troubles freezing up. Need to catch up on some sleep too. That may have to wait for now, but soon. Well, the pillow is calling my name, so take care and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and safe travels.

Brrrr

Well it is not hot here anymore. In the teens at night and wind chills near zero. Probably about 1/4 of the units here have had some water freezing troubles. So far we are lucky in that area. Hopefully they will release us early, like the 17th so we can get out of here. We had an enjoyable weekend and now we have to ride the time out until the 23rd or sooner. We will start rearranging and repacking this weekend in hopes of leaving the next weekend. At this time our plans are to head to Michigan for the holidays. Getting up at 3:30am to struggle working 11 hour days and coming home just before sunset in the cold is getting old. Need to get some exercise too. No energy left at the end of the day. Barely enough to walk Brandy a couple of times. Well, it is just about bedtime-morning comes in the middle of the night, so take care and happy holidays to all.
