The bad news is.

Our refrigerator died. It’s five years old and as the weather warms, so does the internal temperature. It wants to stay in the forties. That doesn’t keep food well.

The good news is that Wes and his crew could come right to our site, take out a window, and pass the old refrigerator out, the new refrigerator in, and put everything back together!

The window the 250 pound refrigerator is going to go out.

Going out.

The new one going in.

Put the window back in place.

And, two hours later, done.


Now our refrigerator temperature is back in the 30s.
Tires and refrigerator. We’re ready to roll. We’re leaving on our Summer Trip on Sunday. First we head west to a conference in Las Vegas in June. Then for Colorado and a family reunion in July. After that….

Baby Coot

Remember the baby coot?

He’s an adolescent now. He’s getting more presentable.

He still doesn’t look like mom or dad yet, though.

The bad news is..

We had to buy tires for the motorhome. The good news is that we found a truck tire store that would come to us and change out the tires right at our site!

65,000 miles on the tires. The rubber was still good, but the tread was getting low, so it seemed like a good idea to change them now, before we start our summer traveling.

Two trucks. Two guys. Two small jacks (with power assists).


Jesse and Pedro. They were good. They knew what they were doing and did it.
Two hours later, they were done and gone.

Still sleeping sitting up

  Judy is the wandering sleeper.  Sometimes she starts out in our own bed, but I never know where I’ll find her in the morning.  The shoulder is healing just fine, but it aches.  The body wants to lie down to sleep, but the least uncomfortable position is still sitting up in a recliner.  It will be that way for a while.
