richard5933 Report post Posted March 22, 2019 I can happily announce that spring has sprung for us here in Wisconsin, and not a moment too soon. This cabin fever thing was getting to me. After a week or two of above freezing afternoon temps the ground dried out enough around where the bus was parked, and today I was able to bring it from behind the barn back to the parking pad next to our driveway. Yay! Not a moment too soon since I have an appointment next week to have the Jake Brakes installed on our engine. Great thing, these old mechanical engines. Hasn't been touched in about three months - started instantly as soon as I touched the switch. Oil pressure came right up and all systems are 'go'. Next thing you know the spring bulbs will start popping up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted March 22, 2019 OK, mowed grass for third time. Probably should just get a GOAT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted March 22, 2019 Richard, we are feeling it here in PA also! Got the roads washed over the last two days with heavy rain, no salt or sodium chloride to be seen anywhere. Hopefully it stays that way. 50 degrees today supposed to hit 60 next week. Adding the sound bar to the front tv in the coach tomorrow and probably gonna service the generator. That ought to really trigger the itch! Too bad I have no trips planned until the middle of June Brett great idea , DW wants a baby goat, need to add you and Diane to the list of people to keep away from my wife or I’m liable to end up with a goat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 23, 2019 OK, same as Brett...but I had to wait a week, Scott triple, then water lawn! Moved front, back and both sides, 4 ac. at 2 inches...we are due for rain & thunder late tonight. 73 today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted March 23, 2019 We have the grass mowed every 10 days all year round, so what's the problem? Joe, your wife already had an "Old Goat," why does she want a baby one that will grow up the same?😇 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 23, 2019 Wayne, at the house on the Island...same as you! It's non-stop. Here at the ranch, grass goes dormant for 3 months, only weeds grow! The weeds will be gone by Monday, Linda sprayed 200 gallons yesterday...she has the Ag. Licence. That stuff is not cheap!!! Now, for the Cactus, I'm spraying today & we will pick up & burn it, next weekend. There will come the day, that we can't maintain this place any longer....hopefully, that's a long time away! Thank the Lord, country living ain't for everybody...we love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of this weekend is to start the boat and load it. 22 hours ago, jleamont said: Did you run water through it already? Not yet. I'll do that in a couple of weeks. Hampton Beach opens the last week of April, that will be our first time out overnight. Me and the queen will probably take it cruising for a day before that. Sometimes we even take it when we go out to eat....weird eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 Is that a new word, "Winterize?" On this date, 3/28/2019, at 1730 hours (5:30 for you civilians) it is 72˚. If it drops 3 degrees it will be below freezing for my skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
