Looking good Hatch. You'll find that dogs love to RV. We used to have an old black lab and she would
sit by the steps in the yard all day if she thought we might go and leave her. Sadly she's gone now.
I always put my electric cord over the top of the tow bar. I've seen cases where it got tangled with the
coiled safety cables and came un plugged. Then it will drag on the highway and wear off the end.
Will do Coop, thanks for the tip.
It’s a bit warmer this morning at 37 and the winds are starting to die down. Been very windy for a couple of days with the cold front we just had. Blue sky and sunshine is on tap for the day with a rain shower coming in overnight but gone by tomorrow.
Heading out today for the north place to give the pup some motorhome training. Also going to give the shooting range my son and I put in last week a good workout. We’re looking at nice weather all week until Friday so we will probably come home Thursday. Not towing the jeep this trip but will be bringing the Ranger along. The pup is also going to learn about riding in it. He’s been in it a few times just running around the community.

Morning, was 47 when I woke a couple hrs. ago and raining, which has dissipated now.
Says a high of 66 later, suppose to get to 37 by tomorrow morn.
Y'all need to keep this cool weather up yonder where it belongs.
I was enjoying those upper 70's low 80's of the earlier part of the week.
Little plinking after while as it's too wet to mow.

Have fun Mike. I’m taking a friends son out Turkey hunting again today. Very few birds around this year, (aside from the ones in my neighbors property. We will try and fish later. It was too windy yesterday, and I called it off after getting the boat down the ramp. Wind picked up huge as I was warming up the motor still on the trailer. Oh well. At least all the gear is loaded and the tanks are full

Sounds like a great day ahead, hope the wind cooperates today.
Good luck and enjoy.

67 on its way to 78 under what looks to be a pretty thick cloud cover .... cooler front still due to move in overnight with a high of 61 and rain tomorrow .... breakfast is history, as is our morning walk in a local city park .... our oldest grandson mowed our yard yesterday, it most certainly looks better today ....

Right now it's 80° under mostly cloudy skies. They've lowered our rain chances down to 40% from 80% (yesterday). We do need a bit of rain. I've got plenty of work to do. The rest of the crew went to our local library where Robyn works to show off the baby. Later,
Jake

Well, we got within 50 feet of a turkey, but alas a hen, so she got to carry on with her day.
Then we went fishing. First day on the new boat. No fish were harmed. Then we sighted in the young lads new crossbow. I also showed off a bit with my turkey sniper rifle, and took the first shots with my 1954 Ithaca Model 37 16 gauge. First ever shots with a 16 gauge actually. Then a couple of tequilas down at our friends dock. Not a bad day at all!

Good morning, 47 here this AM. Loaded some more of those 165 gr 30-30's to plink with, but never got around to them.
Worked in the yard a good bit. So I just might get some shootin in here in a bit.
Sounds like a nice day there Red, I've never fired a 16 ga. either. They're just not that popular around here and neither is the ammo.
Jim, I've been to Talladega three times, last time I was there was Earnhardt Sr.'s last win.

Sunny today: low of 27 with a high be of 60: currently 30. Typical Sunday, Mass, Skype with Denmark family, brunch but today I will try to message with one of my sons who was recently deployed overseas. My granddaughter that is my shooting partner just texted she would like to take me shooting today, but I have to drive because she is only 13 and no driver license! Everyone have a great Sunday!

Sitting in the motor home about five miles south of the border in the middle of nowhere. Shazam, here I am with two bars on my phone and hot spotting to my iPad. We have had some very sketchy cellular in the past but never this good. Must be a new antenna nearby. How bout that!
37 this morning with a good rain (expected) overnight. Beautiful sunshine now and great weather expected for the rest of the week. So far the pup is doing great with rv life and is thrilled with the romping around he has here. Crazy as he has just as much romping around room at home but there must be some great smells around. Here after the local news comes on (Dish Tailgator portable dish) I’m going to take the dogs for a hike up the hill. Later I plan to send some copper and lead into the RR tie backstop my son and I put in. I’m thinking I may be able to post pics from here which I didn’t expect.

It was a cool 53 degrees this morning on the dog walk. I actually took two dog walks today. The boxer pulls so hard that I take him solo for management purposes. I just had some cereal and coffee for breakfast. I don't have any set plans for the day.

I used a Tailgator for years and finally had a Wineguard Traveler installed. Much better as it can do HD.
On the new motorhome I just got a refurbished Traveler from Wineguard and now I have to get it installed.
If you go to their web site they have them with a full warranty and a nice discount.

I was at Talladega once back around 94 or 95 when it was the Winston cup. It was back when Nascar was still popular. Favorite driver was Mark Martin. Cold here still but supposed to warm to the 60's by the late afternoon

Good morning, a chilly start to the week with a 33 degree temp this AM.
Near 70 later it shows, so should be a nice Spring day.
Probably try and mow the grass this afternoon after work.
