Another crazy crazy week.

 Sunday 10 November 2024

   Today I challenged my last functioning brain cell.  I started the battery replacement right after breakfast.  Well, kind of right after breakfast like about 10 am. It wasn't as easy as you might think.

One Battery, there
were 8 to change.

Eight batteries and a whole lot of heavy stiff cables to disconnect and reconnect. Yes, I took a lot of pictures.  By lunch time the job was complete. I cleaned up loaded up the old batteries, did I mention they are very, very heavy for an old man. Got them all loaded up and headed back to Sam's club for my deposit.
   Meanwhile Diane spent her day running around getting food back in the house. BJ's for rotisserie chicken, Karn's for shrimp a few other stops. Back home it was dishes, laundry and started dinner. 
   It was 6:30 or so till I got home.  We had dinner.  Another hectic day came to an end!

Monday 11 November 2024   Happy Veterans Day

    Back at it first thing this morning, well after a nice, cooked breakfast. 😃 Last day before heading back to Tioga County. Diane spent most of her day getting last minute supplies Sam's club, Trader Joe's and butcher shop plus she had to stop at Chick-fil-a for lunch.  I washed the truck windshield inside and out then off to see tax lady, the storage unit and hardware store.  We both finally made it back to the Moho. I washed the Moho windshield inside and out plus the mirrors. The RV shop gave us a FREE courtesy wash, (perhaps the worst wash ever) widows and mirrors were so streak I could barely see to drive. Enough of grumbling. 😒   Diane made fish for dinner with wine, we had a nice evening.

Tuesday 12 November 2024

    On the road again. We had a quick breakfast (yogurt) finished packing up and were pulling out at 10:15. I'm in the Moho towing the car and Diane is driving the truck. We met up in Selinsgrove for lunch. Rudy is always happy when mom checks in on him. The check engine light is still coming on and off as we travel.😕  Back on the road after lunch it is very, very windy today so I will avoid the high bridge over the river at Northumberland and the one at Blossburg just don't want to get blown off.🍃 Other than the wind a nice day to travel.  I was avoiding the bridge in Blossburg winding up old route 15 finally going up the ramp to US15 there was an terrific crash/bang/clang from the middle of the Moho. 😕 I pulled over right away. I turned around and the coffee pot was dangling by its cord, water splashed everywhere, and Rudy was scared. I threw down some towels, put the coffee pot in sink (appeared not to have broken) consoled Rudy for a bit.  Just as I hit the highway Diane called to see how I was making out. 😑 Really kind of lucked out.
   We didn't arrive in Westfield until 3pm. There was a bad accident in Elkland, a car rolled over on it's side traffic snarled as crews worked on freeing people trapped inside.
   As soon as we parked and set up Diane ran water through to coffee pot to make sure it is works and it did. PHEW what a relief. She made stir fry for dinner spiced up with mushrooms and those little corn ear things. YUM

Wednesday 13 November 2024

   Another really nice November day sunny and in the mid 50's. We had a cooked breakfast just kind of enjoyed the morning. I went to Ben's picked up "all" of the hunting stuff. The truck was full inside the cab as well as the bed. Didn't know we had that much stuff. As I head back to Westfield I hear that dreaded ding from the dashboard, low tire pressure second time in two weeks.  I stopped at the Moho unloaded most of the hunting supplies and took the truck to the garage right behind the campground and walked home.
   Diane spent most of the day being bored. 😒 Just to get out, she walked up to the sporting goods store and picked up some supplies.  By the time she got back they were done with the truck (roofing nail in tire) and they drove it back. Just good to know it is fixed.  I tried to organize my hunting clothes.  Diane took a few more walks around town before making burgers for dinner. She used the air fryer instead of grilling (to cold).  Air fryer work pretty well.

Thursday 14 November 2024

    Diane packed up and ready to head down to dog sit for Lynne.  Rudy and I were sad to see her go. but we sucked it up and watched her drive off. As I packed the truck to go hunting. I did wait an hour or so to comfort Rudy and have some lunch before heading out.
    In case you forgot we just bought a house and Diane (my IT person) was barely out of sight when the phone starts ringing. Then one call after another as everyone seems to need paperwork to get the buying process rolling.
    Believe it or not I didn't see a thing hunting. I came in had some left over and started a list of information/paperwork I needed.

Friday 15 November 2024

   Diane's first day at Lynne's was not boring.  She took care of Cody and before she could rest it was time to go get stuff together for the bank, insurance co. and finance people and she only has today to get

Code was Content!

it all done! 😐 A whole lot of driving, making copies, phone calls and more driving.  But she got it all done before offices closed for the weekend.
   As for me I went hunting morning and evening.  Believe or not I didn't see anything, sitting in the woods talking on the phone and forwarding emails, etc. to various people. Yogurt for breakfast in for lunch, salad with chicken on it last of the leftover for dinner.
   Back to the Moho more leftovers before calling it a night.

Saturday 16 November 2024

 Diane visited kids, back to Lynne and Ricks to spend time with Cody and grab a quick lunch.  Off to Bev's for a visit and try to get Weis Market e-coupons loaded. 
   I started with yogurt for breakfast then out hunting, and this time I saw a nice buck, shot at it and hit. I was all excited but as I began to track, I knew it was not a good shot. Very little blood and it never laid down. After an hour or two I gave up. 😟😕 In for lunch salad with chicken on it. Walked Rudy then back out for the evening. No luck. Leftovers for dinner.

Sunday 17 November 2024

   This is supposed to be my day off but, Sunday hunting allowed this year so I went out in the morning.  I saw 3 doe, to far away.  In for salad with chicken for lunch, back out saw a spike far away. Illegal anyway should have stayed home rested. 
   In case you didn't notice I've had yogurt for breakfast, lunch has been salad with chicken on it and leftover for dinner. Today I'm switch'n it up. Leftover are all so hot dogs for dinner.😏
   Diane and Lynne went to see Pentatonix at the Giant Center, she said it was a great Christmas Concert.  They did a fantastic show.

Monday 18 November 2024

   Diane finally comes home today. I still had yogurt for breakfast and salad for lunch. 😒 No hunting for me, I took the second blind up Norman's. Went to the cabin to site in our rifles, guess what, I had no

Hunting Tent.

bullets. 😁 Back to the Moho, walked Rudy picked up some bullets and back to the cabin.  Shot Diane's rifle nice grouping but 4 inches high and 4 to the right.  Adjusted shot again and I was done.  Picked up my rifle fire twice walked down to check; I didn't even hit target. 😒 I cleaned up and went right to the gun shop to get it bore sighted.  The guy said it was off more than a foot each way.   Back to the Moho wasn't long before Diane pulled in.  Boy was Rudy happy to see her and maybe me a bit. We talked, had a glass of wine before making the ham loaf and mashed taters(cauliflower) for dinner. When Diane opened the oven there was my chicken from lunch I forgot to put it on my salad. 😟 
    Rudy and I are happy to have mom home!!
