well, things are about to get a bit busy .... the replacement AC for out camper arrived today ... its possible it will be installed tomorrow, more likely it will be on Monday .... Maureen's Camaro that we left in a body shop is ready to be picked up, our kids back in NC will take care of that on Monday .... we've decided to sale a lot we have in South Dakota, a crew has located the sewer line .... RV Armor expects to have a crew working South Dakota shortly, etc .... :D
I’m going to buy a window AC for the upstairs bedroom. Bet mine will be a lot easier to install. Good luck with yours.

AC in RV's have been a pain in the butt for me. Last 2 5ers I have had have had issues with one of them. I think the Dometic AC units are poorly made and are junk from China

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

this morning started early, in fact, very early .... our daughter and her son had to leave the camper at 2:15AM to be taken 70+ miles to Sioux Falls airport .... they had a 5:30AM flight to take them back home .... its always a relief to be able to say that their plane landed about 4 minutes ago and one of our daughters-in-law is at RDU to pick them up ... 64 this morning after light overnight rain that did little more than settle the dust .... no more is anticipated this month .... next up, a draft horse pull tomorrow

we awoke to a chilly, windy, 57 degree morning under a beautiful, clear blue sky .... biggest thing on tap today is attending a draft horse pull at the town's rodeo grounds .... we attended our first last year and thoroughly enjoyed it .... we are breathing somewhat of a relief because our daughter and her son arrived safely back home yesterday as did our youngest son and his family .... they spent last week in DC in our daughter's camper .... its was great to hear that the camper towed and performed well ....

well, our replacement AC is installed and is pumping out cold air .... its interesting how its housing cover changes color depending on if its in the sun or shade .... the fellow who installed it runs a local heat and air business .... he agreed to the install when I assured him I could verbally work him through the process .... day after tomorrow they are calling for a high of 100, that should be a good test ..... tonight we are scheduled to travel 20 some miles to another town to watch one of Maureen's nephews play baseball

once again we awoke to a beautiful day in east central South Dakota .... heat and wind are forecasted to rush in tomorrow when they are calling for it to once again reach 100 with a steady 22 mph south wind, gusting to 48 mph .... a "danger of dehydration and heat stroke while doing strenuous activities" warning has been issued .... as of right now my only project for today is a mod to our Green Mountain Davy Crockett smoker/grill .... when moving it from one location to another the heat diffuser moves and you need to reset it before use .... after considerable pondering, I believe we've come up with a simple way to take care of that issue

Heat and wind can sure dry a person out. Stay hydrated.

another beautiful morning in east-central South Dakota .... currently 74 on its way to 90 with the next significant chance of rain not in the forecast until Monday .... we are starting to hear fireworks which are big out here over the 4th .... with the very dry conditions out here, there is a rising concern for fires .... we have family coming in for the holiday weekend and are looking forward to it

our string of beautiful mornings continues .... 64 on its way to 85 with little, if any, chance of rain for today .... relatives on the way to camp with us for the weekend .... we are somewhat surprised at a noticeable reduction in fireworks over the last couple of days .... that will probably change this weekend .... its hard to believe that 4 weeks have passed since we arrived in Estelline, the time has simply evaporated
