Lean and Kean
I liked your comment "Lean and Keen" - I think, no I do believe that is the key to staying lean and keen .....doing something worthwhile, interesting, physical and working with people and animals - birds included. Structure is also good. I know this is our third year on the road for the winter months and I flounder without structure. Proud of you for continuing to learn and grow and stay warm all at the same time!!!! Jackie

WOW!
Seems like an incredible learning experience. Good thing you both are young and in fantastic shape. Who else can say they were invited guests to the Deer Harvest Dance. What kind of wine did they bring? Probably from the Hamptons! Ann-Tim

getting up early and weekends
Both of you have gone over to the dark side. If you agree now, I can schedule your exorcism at the best rates available. P

Poor Dave!!!!
I was just checking my spam file and low and behold there was your notice of y our blog in the blasted spam folder!!! I got it out and just read it. You guys are really lucky with that tire. I am surprised that you didn't feel it. We have never pulled a trailer or fifth wheel just the motor home so I am guessing it would feel differently in our rig. I am sure you will get used to the change of getting up early for "work". It must be hard after being able to just get up when you wake up. I know it would be for me. I was at work in Kidney Dialysis by 4:20AM every morning and darn if sometimes especially at home I still open my eyes at 3:00AM. Or, one of my two cats will tap me on the cheek to remind me it is breakfast time for them! If the tapping doesn't do the trick, Jonas will start to gently knock things off my dresser until that gets my attention. Unfortunately my cats are with my girl friend back in the UP of Michigan. I miss them so much and enjoy seeing pictures of Dave. I am so glad he graduated to the truck!!!!! Poor baby. Sometimes I think it easier to be with animals then the humans!!! I can just see him in his waste basket!!! He is one smart kitty cat!!! We too almost ran out of gas around the Ft Stockton area. Another gas gouging area was between Sanderson and Marfa, Tx. Marathon. The gas was $.70 cents higher in Marathon then in Sanderson or Marfa. Marathon is the only way down into Big Bend so they have a captive audience in that area. We were warned in Sanderson when we got propane to get gasoline for the vehicle there too! She thought it was "only" $.30 more!!! Looking forward to your posts. I finally posted again a couple of days ago after visiting the caverns. Richard is the disciplined writer!!! Be well, Jackie
