Time is just flying by!

The neighbor's tree that Larry cut down. This picture was taken this past summer before we arrived.

First picture I took of the "tree project".


Very little left of the tree after a week of working. Note the termite hole in the middle of the stump.


Jay in the battery bay unhooking the cables on the old batteries.


Putting the last new battery onto the battery tray. (There are five of them)

The new ramp to the bike rack since the MH is higher off the ground than the trailer. Larry did a great job of fabricating it as usual!


I can't believe it is the third month of the new year already! Larry started out the month doing a good deed for our 80 year old neighbor lady. She had a big tree that shed all kinds of stuff and extended over three other neighbor's yards including ours, so he offered to cut it down for her. It took a week and help from a couple of friends and our son-in-law to finally get the job done. Hauling off all the limbs etc was very time consuming and Vince ended up taking the larger logs for his backyard fire pit. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures before he started or during the process, only the last day. He found the tree was hollow with termites and one large limb had rubbed a hole in the neighbor's new roof.

The month's next big project was replacing our nine year old house batteries. We borrowed an engine crane and had help from Jay, Larry's friend. It took all day but we are so glad that project is done and we are good to go for another nine years!

The park had a free BBQ for the residents and free entertainment. The entertainer was Keith Longbotham from Nashville and he, along with two others, had a very good and funny act. He said he was not a comedian as they tell dirty jokes. He is a humorist and all his jokes were clean and funny. It was a fun evening.

Larry had his eye exam at the VA and now we will go to Algodones to get his new prescription filled as well as the 'free' pair of glasses from the VA.

After several tries, Larry decided he could build a new ramp on the bike rack for the MH that ended up being cheaper and just what he wanted. We will put it to use this coming Sunday when we head to Yuma for the Gypsy Journal Rally.
