The stress builds

 Sunday 9 April 2023    Happy Easter

   Cool and windy this Easter morning.  We went to the cemetery this morning, there were a lot of flowers decorating the place.  Back to the Moho then up to the recreation bldg. for an Easter dinner. Owners supplied the turkey and ham, and everyone brought a covered dish.  The food was great, we met some new friends.  A lot of the seasonal campers are leaving soon, and this was like the last hoo-rah.

   I got right at the demolition job of removing the old booth dinette.  As I got more and more debris scattered around the Moho I could see the OMG look on Diane's face.  She went for several walks but eventually couldn't stand the mess and headed to the store to escape the stress.  Like most of my home projects it seemed easy enough on Utube.  By lunch time there was nowhere to sit so we ate standing by the kitchen sink. By 3:30 most of the mess was outside scattered along the side of the Moho. I was happy the place was cleaned up enough to eat, Diane not so much, still said the place looks like crap. We brought the lawn chairs in and enjoyed tacos for dinner.

   As we were finishing dinner Greg from CCW called to say, due to the supply shortage they would not be able to replace the stove top. Something to think about for next winter.

Tuesday 11 April 2023

   Up to the Recreation Hall again, for breakfast this time. Nothing special but free.  After breakfast I tried to make another cup of coffee and water started running down the side of pot. We continued packing and organizing for the journey next week. We are slowly and carefully (when no one around) have been putting parts of the old dinette in the trash.  I headed over to Len's, picked up the mail and dropped off a load of junk at the county recycle.   I got back and Diane went to the post office and quick stop at Dollar General for a new coffee pot.   We spent the rest of the day sorting mail and paying bills. Yuck! 

 Wednesday 12 April 2023.

   Bad morning.  I am fumbling around trying to turn on the (new) coffee pot.  Half asleep trying different buttons I finally got it cooking. Sat down to my morning games.  About the time I figured it

Our new Chairs.

should be done I heard that terrible sound of coffee sizzling under the pot.  I jumped and ran to turn it off.  Apparently, while fumbling with the buttons I dislodged the craft from the burner.  How I have to clean up the mess, wash the pot and basket, make another pot and then wait for it to cook. 😓😡

   Diane got up and started searching the internet and making phone calls to find a replacement for the Keurig. 

   To make the day worse, we went to Catfish Johnny's for dinner.  One of those places we can't remember why we don't go there....then when we look at the menu we know why.  fried! fried! fried!

   Better days ahead.

Thursday 13 April 2023

   A much better day today.  Coffee went well!😁  A nice sunny day and we took advantage. Diane went for kayak trip, however forgot her lifevest and had to cut the trip short.  We washed the truck and mapped our trip back to PA.  And to top off the day we when to The Fishermans Cove restaurant for dinner.  Started off with fresh steamed clams delivered from Cedar Key this morning then the prime rib special. OMG it was all good! We were stuffed.

Friday 14 April 2023

   Diane went for another kayaking trip, this time with her life jacket. 😏 Enjoying the trip without the

worry, she got a few pictures as well.  Another win for the day, we finally got a hold of Keurig and they agreed to send us a new coffee pot, under warranty. We spent the remaining time packing and trying to figure out how we will make it home on time.

   Baked fish for dinner.....with wine.

Saturday 15 April 2023

   Diane's entire day was spent cooking, doing dishes then repeating.  She cooked breakfast cleaned up, made lasagna noodles cleaned up and then made ribs for dinner and cleaned up. Yes she did point out (several times) that I owed her big time.

   I took a load of big stuff to Len's (kayak and bike). I'm starting to get worried about the trip to PA and how it will all fit into the Moho and truck. Tomorrow, we have to have everything ready to go, heading to the shop, then as soon as we are done, we have to hit the road.

Sunday 16 April 2023

   Well, I didn't get done yesterday.  We started off with the last trip to the cemetery for this season.

Apparently they have fenced the deer out of the grounds.  The flowers from Easter were still there they never last more than a day or two unless there were so many the deer couldn't eat them all.😏 

   Another trip to Len's. Nothing left now except for refrigerator food.  

Monday 17 April 2023

   Well today is the big day.  We packed, cleaned, organized and rearranged most everything.  I started with a trip to Len's with our freezer food. Diane packed up the bedroom and brought in the slides.  Then we had to remove everything from above the refrigerator, piling everything on the bed. We stayed at it steady until lunchtime.  Lunch was the last of the leftovers that wouldn't fit in the coolers. Diane had a roast beef sandwich with a bit of left over tuna, I had the remaining salad, last of the feta, last of the blueberries and small piece of fish. There were two items with expiration dates three years ago that didn't make the trip.

  We were done!!! On the road by 1pm and arrived at the hotel in Ormond Beach at 3:30pm.  I unhooked the truck and when I move it, I noticed the check engine light was on. Oh great! 😡 No time to worry now.  Diane went to check in and found out our room won't be ready for at least a hour. We swapped Rudy from the Moho to the truck and took the Moho over to CCW.  Dropped off the Moho and headed back to the hotel. The room still was not ready, and it is well after 5pm.  Making the best of it we did a little tailgating.  I backed the truck up next to the door, opened the tailgate and the wine bottle. 😁 

A mess in the 
bedroom.

   Moho in the shop, truck with a check engine light on but happy hour goes on!!
