The LCOW Upgrade Part Two

Tim has been busy since I left mostly working on the LCOW (The Little Cabin On Wheels).  He made some more additions to make storage a bit easier.  Since we cannot put anything next to the bed to hold items like eye glasses, book, the remote, etc.  Tim has figured out a solution and added two large trays that he placed on the wall for more storage.  He also reorganized the storage under the bed to get some more space.  The LCOW will be ready for our next trip for sure now.  Look for an announcement soon.

The Tin Project

Tim and George went to the scrap yard a couple of days ago and both came back with some scrap tin roofing material.  Now I know why George wanted it but I was not clear why Tim did until yesterday.  He used the tin to cover the air conditioning box on the LCOW (Little Cabin On Wheels) to help protect the air conditioner and water proof it a bit better.  It looks good and since we will be using the LCOW in about three weeks protecting the air conditioner is always good.  I will announce a little later what our next trip will be in a couple of weeks.  Nice job Tim!

Visiting The Scrap Yard

While Lisa and I were driving down to Florida Tim and George went to visit the Metal scrap yard to look for some junk but they would say treasures.  In the past they have come home with lots of things needed to repair or replace items but they have also come home with items that there were ideas for  yet they still sit in the barn waiting to become useful.  Yesterday, as we were driving, we received a picture of our new fire pit.  Of course they were just joking but it would be one heck of a fire pit.  Instead they came home with some tin roofing material for future projects that will be shared soon.  Boys and their toys.

Headed South

Lisa and I are going on a little road trip south to Florida.  Tim and I were suppose to leave tomorrow but Lisa now has a Gator game to attend and so I am riding with her instead of Tim who will stay home.  He is going to miss seeing his Rory but in a few more weeks we will be together at Disney.  We have the Coffee bowling league this morning then we will hit the road!  Florida, here we come!

The LCOW Gets An Upgrade

The LCOW (Little Cabin On Wheels) got upgraded yesterday.  We have a big shelf over our heads in the camper and it has a lip the helps hold somethings in but there were several times during our travels that what was on the shelf ended up on the bed once we reached our destination.  Well Tim has fixed that issue now.  Yesterday he installed a cargo net that is hung across the shelf and will serve two purposes; 1. The help keep items on the shelf ONthe shelf and 2. To store items in the cargo net.  So now we have even more storage while getting more organized.  Nice job Tim and thanks!

A Sad Day For NFL Football

Do you remember when football was fun?  When you looked forward to Sunday games, Monday night games, Thanksgiving Day games and the Super Bowl?  Well those days are over for so many people and all for one reason; disrespecting the Flag.  Over 100 NFL players got mad at some remarks our President made and instead of being like most Americans and let it roll off their shoulders they decided to be babies and protest during our National Anthem.  The sad thing about it is that they are only doing it because of what the President said about the NFL players who were doibg it and not what it is suppose to really mean.  I see it as a total disrespect for our flag and country.  We are all fortunate to live in this great country where this kind of stupid protest is allowed because of the freedoms we are allowed in this country.  I love my Bears and I am proud to say not one Bear knelt during the National Anthem.  However the Jaguars went one step too far as to disrespect our country while playing in a foreign country so Bye Bye Jaguars.  The Titans were too chicken to even come out on the field during the National Anthem so Bye Bye Titans.  There were some Chargers that knelt so Bye Bye Chargers.  To the NFL players who feel the need to disrespect the flag because of some remarks why don't you do it on your own time and not in uniform?  If I protested at my job I would be fired and so would a whole bunch of Other Americans.  Think about that next time you are in uniform and want to protest.  You play a game that Americans love but you have now forced several fans to stop watching.  The NFL blew it yesterday and created the saddest day in NFL football.

Pinefeast, White Pine, TN

Now that it is Fall that means one thing here in eastern Tennessee, Fall Festival time.  For the next several weeks there will be a Fall Festival or two each week end in nearby towns.  The towns coordinate their festivals so they don't overlap with eachother.  Each Fall Festival is different even though some of the vendors are the same they still vary.  The first Fall festival we attended was yesterday in White Pine, Tn.  It was very nice and had some great vendors.  White Pine closed down Main Strret and set up booths.  There were over 70 vendors, a car show, bounce houses for the kids, live bands and story telling.  Story telling is a big event here in eastern Tennessee and it is pretty good.  We has a great time and will be back next year.  Now we only have a few more to attend until November comes.
We finished a nice day with a nice evening and a BBQ at the farm.  Our friends Larry & Linda came to join us and we enjoyed a beautiful fall evening with great food and a wonderful view.  To top the whole day off all of my college football teams won!  It was a good day!
