Things are looking up around here as the temp at my place is 31 and the official Deer Park temp is 27.

Heading in to north Spokane this morning to pick up the jeep with the motorhome. This will be my first experience attaching and towing a vehicle behind it. I’ve towed the boat and the UTV with it and it tows great. Be interesting to see of the motorhome will keep traction pulling the 5,000 lb jeep up my steep but short gravel driveway. No problem with the boat and UTV but they are both quite a bit lighter than the jeep. If I have trouble it will get interesting as I read it’s not good to back up a towed vehicle and I sure don’t want to attempt to detach it on the hill.

Stay tuned folks…

Coop, have you ever backed up your Explorer with your motorhome and if so any issues? Thanks.

Cooling trend here, down in the 40’s next couple of days. Warm up over the weekend! Everyone have a great day

Watching it snow with my morning cup of Joe. Yesterday it was in the 70's here and today in the 30's and snowing. Not much on tap today. Going to ride the basement bike and may do some more reloading.

For a short distance a even further if Carol will sit in the drivers seat and keep the steering wheel straight.
The problem is always that the Explorer will want to turn the front wheels so if she keeps them straight I can
back up a lot further.
If you lose traction just start the Jeep and put it in drive. Better yet have the Wife apply a little power to
push you up the drive. Just a little though.

It was a warm morning again this morning and we should reach the upper 80's today. The kids took the baby to her first Astros game (lost to the Braves in 10). The Astros don't have the pitching that they had the last few seasons. Hader is not proving the worth of his contract as of yet. Verlander has been out for weeks and is supposed to pitch for the first time tomorrow. Urquidy and Valdez on still on the 15 day list. Garcia, McCullers, and Ortega or supposed to be able to return in July and Sousa is out for the entire season. I'm surprised that they've won as many games as they have.

Everyone have a great day & weekend.

Cold here to 34 deg. Might need whiskey later on. UPS is supposed to be here with my Dillon 9mm dies today so maybe I can pass the time reloading some 9 and 40. Got some 40 done yesterday.

Thanks for the tips Coop, push with the jeep, duh! Why didn’t I think of that? I did think about backing my pickup down and pulling if needed. But, thankfully no help was needed as the MH pulling the jeep scooted right up the driveway without a spin of tire. Interesting day with my first time hooking up a tow vehicle to the MH and it all went perfectly!

Another brisk one this morning at 29 and once again I have a nice fire burning in the stove. Thought I was done with fires a couple of weeks ago when it was in the 70’s.

Today it’s continuing to get ready to leave tomorrow for a few days up at the north place. Temps are supposed to get warmer starting tomorrow with lows in the 30’s and highs in the 60’s. Pretty nice for mid April.
