A relaxing day

And well, it kinda has to be a relaxing day because its been snowing since yesterday afternoon and so far it's about 4 inches. So no rush to get out in the mess. The highways are usuallykept clear, the county roads it can take a day or so to get those all plowed.
Stacy just left for her shift at dispatch. She's still on cloud nine over the new position, I am also for her to have regular hours again!
After working with those friendly folks from India for Belkin last night it turns out that the wired connection problem with our other computers is with the router. They say we need a new router and last night were all ready to send out a new one and then we'd send back the old one. But they called back this morning and said they don't have our model in stock so we'd need to send in ours to get fixed and sent back to us.
When I asked how long we're talking about, he couldn't say with the holidays and such coming up, one week to a month, so I guess we'll get a new router at Wal-Mart and fight it out with Belkin to cover it that way.
We spent the morning/early afternoon watching Christmas movies. Stacy loves Christmas time more than any other holiday season.

Let's see, oh yes. I'll tell about recent movies we've seen. Thumbs up or down. We have Netflix, thanks Sandy for starting us on that last year, and we're at the see one send it back and get another plan which works well for us.

Recent movies-
Transformers. Well I wanted to see that. Glad I didn't buy it first! I was disappointed. Yes great effects, but waaaaaaay to long. And to dis-jointed in the storyline. Maybe if I'd been a kid in the first era of the Transformers I'd have liked it better. Rent it, don't but it first!

The Ultimate Gift. This movie was a gamble, I'd heard about it and read about it on the Netflixs site. Turned out to be a very good movie. Yes predictable, it's GOT to have the happy ending, but getting there was a little different with some unexpected twists. We recommend seeing it!

Next movie up, Reign Over Me.

Hope all is well for everybody! Tad

You two seem to have a lot on your plate these days, but at least you are happy. I will not let Russell know that you disliked Transformers, you will be on your hit list dad :). Love you guys, and miss you. Tyler is getting better, and I am not coughing as hard. Russell sounds like he is feeling better today, but we will see. Truely miss you,

I can't say I'm on a roll just yet, but here's a new post!

So, to continue with last weeks story. In August, Stacy finally got the trailer she's been wanting all along. Yes, while I like the larger, around 28 to 30 foot or so, RVs, Stacy has kept the idea that smaller is better. Smaller can go pretty much anyplace you'd want to camp and our 5th wheel, at 34-feet long, while it can go most places, it can't go 'anyplace' due to the length. When we got the 5th wheel in July 2017, I was surprised Stacy was willing and even suggested, we go for it trading in our 33-foot travel trailer to get the Jayco. Again, the "Wildcat Maxx" was a nice travel trailer. It had made several short and two long trips in the almost two years we'd owned it. We lucked out as in an era of the rapid assembly to make the crazy sales numbers the RV industry has been having, the Wildcat was "completed on a Wednesday by happy Amish at the factory" as we didn't have any of the build issues I still read about from the appar...

So, Winter Decided It Wasn't Done Quite Yet Around Here!

After last weeks post of me talking about the somewhat short winter so far, it got cold! I mean really cold over the weekend, like two mornings with the lows of +8 (-13C) and +9 (-12C) and 'highs' around 25 (-3C). No one I had talked with thought it would be that THAT cold again this season! Then last night, 02/13/18, there had been a "Winter Storm Watch" issued for the time period of 10 PM Tuesday to 12 noon Wednesday for "up to" 11 inches of snow. Luckily, we didn't get anything near that with about 4 inches overnight and the snow stopped around 10 am and warmed into the mid-30s during the day so what had fallen had begun to melt, clearing off the roads and walkways but staying on the grass. However, for its last blast, we still could get a few more inches of accumulation between now and next Sunday the 18th. Then, the long-term forecast has the daytime temps going back into the mid to upper 30s again in about a week. We'll see! On Monday t...

Snowpockolipse, that was so 2017! A Short Warmer Winter in 2018.

Yes, a bit over a year ago, as I write this post, there had been the dump of right at four feet of snow from February third to the fifth. An area record that was then compared to the winter of 1996 which had been the most snow in the recent history with memories of up to thirteen foot deep drifts. From last year, February 6th, 2017 Above and Below: When we woke up to go to work that Monday morning we were, as everybody in the region was, very surprised to find so much snow had fallen overnight from Sunday to Monday. As we took stock of what we would need to do I measured several spots to be over three feet deep on our property. We weren't going anywhere fast that day. That one pathway was made by a cat getting from the parking area to the back porch to be fed.   Below: Our travel trailer at the time, a Forest River Wildcat Maxx at the time that February morning was well buried.  During last summers vacation, we were parked for a couple of nights...
