Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
28 going up to 46 today in clouds, before a big rain system comes in tomorrow

turning clocks ahead, always have one electronic one that fools me, push this button while pushing that button, etc.

Spike, looking at that amazing plane, wonder how it would feel for Popgadget to get in it and fly, such a different wing, wonder if it
flies "differently".

speaking of which, Paul and Ken are coming over this morning to help me on a number of projects, plumbing in house and running some wires in rv.
Am considering putting a small inverter in rv, something which came standard on last three I've had, but not this one. Would like to be able to have coffee in the morning up in the mountains without putting on generator. Not a big priority; this rv will spend 99 percent of its time plugged in to some campground. having a solar panel would be nice, to keep batteries charged. Decided I would hold off any decision on this until back from two week Florida trip. Just want to make sure this rv is a keeper before I do more improvements.

have any of you installed "sumo" springs, or little air bags, on a Ford van or F53 chassis? Supposed to greatly improve harshness of ride. Also expressly prohibited in rv manual, since they worry about folks using helpers to allow overloading of chassis. I don't want to carry more weight, just would like that "air bag" ride. Not that expensive to install, but again, will wait until after this next trip.

Good morning, the low temp is 6 and going to a high of 23°F. Wind NE 8 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

The ICW is as smooth as glass this morning.

I am going to stay inside and nurse this cold. So far it is mostly in my head. The barking stopped as quickly as it started.

Have a safe day all

Have I mentioned before that I hate the idea of Daylight Savings Time and switching twice a year? I see that one of our politicians is having a straw vote to see how many want to do away with it in Texas. I've already changed one clock in the shop and 5 in the house. So today I still have to change 2 more in the house and one in the car.

Bill,
for us Easterners, the ICW is the IntraCoastal Waterway. It's what I took my boat on going down to Florida, to stay out of the ocean.
you must be on vacation with Buppies, watching the water go by....

Intracoastal Waterway - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

that youtube camera I posted recently looks right at the ICW, where it is pretty narrow, like going down a street, but of water.
all those bridges in Florida makes progress slow, manatee zones everywhere, one million dollar home (ten million....) after another along the
way.

But i"m sure ICW means something totally different in Ontario...

Lots of info on rv.net/goodsam class C forum on the E350/450 Chassis. One that helps handling of the chassis is getting front end alignment out closer to 5° than stock settings. I installed air bags on my Motorhome. But it was a Chevy.
Makita makes a battery operated coffee maker.

Good morning, 28 going to 40 today with cloudy conditions.

Plan to do some walking exercise this morning.

I had airbags on a Chevy chassis, Bilstein shocks and heavier front swaybar. Helped with the wind push from passing trucks and more stable on the road

26F Sunny. It seems like the weather here has reverted to normal for March. We have a bunch of flowers up but now it is too cold for them to really bloom.

Drew, Is the ICW an interesting trip.


Take care.

30 outside right now. Heading to lower 40's. Rain expected this evening.

Daffodils are popping all over property. They bring attention to areas that need a gardener. LOL. I see some honeysuckle has also managed to gain a good foothold on a flowering bush of some sort. One day I can turn my attention to proper care of the landscaping.

Managed to restock the house on supplies, and late yesterday got the custom window installed in the Milk House walkway area. Today I will attempt to cut two recessed lights into the wood ceiling. Yes, I restocked on the sawsall blades too. This projects has eaten lots of tools and energy. And time....

Hope all enjoy the day. Be safe.

that Makita coffee maker is very cool. But only one 5 ounce up at a time.

Chris, ICW in places is beyond awesome. The whole Chesapeake is part of it, and winding around the little water roads through tall grass in
coastal Georgia is so pretty, wildlife habitats all along the way so lots of birds. You pass a lot of ocean inlets, particularly in florida, so "going down" you look over to your
left and see the ocean not far off at times. Those inlets are where the sand always moves around and you often are driving using little red sticks in the water or some local
markers because the regular channel has been silted in. I'd love to do it again on an electric boat with no noise. Just the ripple of the water and the sounds of the wildlife.
