RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more....

Nothin' much happening here. We're scraping by, while Keith has spent a LOT of time under the one ton truck--trying to get a working transmission. Until he gets it--we are stuck right here in our son's driveway--he parked the truck in front of the 5th wheel, and then put it up on jacks and went to work on it!!! A case of failing to observe the 7 "p"s (proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance)...

We got a legit offer on 'Redneck Hill' and in the process of cleaning it up, decided that we just really weren't ready to sell it! So, we dragged the offending 70' mobile home off the lot and started planting trees instead. :) The offer was less than we were asking anyhow... So, since the power line to the water pump had burnt itself in two, underground, we have been hauling water to the trees for a week. Did I mention that we had the electricity turned on there, and then discovered that thieves had even taken a high-priced breaker and box off our power pole??? I just don't GET it.....

Anyhow, that's where and what for now.

Yep, back in the land of no signal most of the time. :( Verizon doesn't seem to care if we can "hear them now" here. Too remote, with too few subscribers. Gee--if they'd put up another tower, they might have more customers! Duh.

Hubby is happily planting someone else's soybeans this week, while he waits for job to turn up. Union had a one-day job yesterday, but he missed it.... Sooner or later, it's going to dry up and they'll be building round the clock....

So, here we are, re-adjusting to the humidity and playing with the grandkids.... Hubby still says that anyplace where corn grows isn't fit to live in--and that's a fact!
