..nor sleet, will keep us from our duties.

Ok, yesterday it was in the 70s and at night the high 40s. Today it gradually grew cold and the soft light rain drops grew into sleet.  It is 28 degrees outside and little diamonds a falling from the sky. All the hoses and pipes that we "hook-up" the rv are covered in pipe insulation w\ad we will leave a faucet running ever so lightly to keep the lines from freezing up.  Last year it took half a season to empty an LP tank. This year we are already on our second tank. At over $4.50/gallon we have gone down another $85.00 plus all the costs to insulate an RV. The weather maps show us on the edge of slush and snow. Looks like Mid forties tomorrow. We hope to give fishing another chance.  I also have a meeting and several phone calls. All for food and business.
We all went to church this morning. We met up with Cynthia and Miles there. Afterwards Cynthia treated us to lunch a "Mexican Hardees". That is a Mexican Joint that took over an old Hardees building and up until recently didn't change the door handles that had "Hardees" written on them.  The for was awesome.
The rest of the day was pretty much avoiding the increasing cold weather. I suppose I am thankful for the TV in the RV now and Dish on Demand.
Surprisingly our trailer conversion (where we took our 8X10 box trailer, added insulation and vents and put a tarp up with industrial velcro, then heated it with a simple ceramic space heater is proving to be a very very ward little room. Amazingly dry too.  For the summer we have and aircon.
The only bummer of the day comes from the little itty bitty ding in the windshield turning into a really long crack with the morning cold.  When the defroster came on it just grew.  I am glad my agent talked me out of taking it off full coverage for another year. The deductible is just $50 for a windshield that should cost over $400.  Get to talk to my agent tomorrow.
Gotta say it has been a very interesting season so far.
