Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

Who let the dogs out?

So tour, did you have fun with bark in the park? The Brewers allowed dogs into the park for the game.

Also are you planning a Spy bar run to the Safehouse?

Yes it was a blast. Not familiar with the Safehouse.

We went to the zoo which was really nice and then to the second game of our trip. They lost 2-0 in a heartbreaker.
 
Its been an interesting week - Yesterday, I worked on a camper that was probably worth $350,000. I'm talking marble floor, 20 cubic foot fridge, and a living room big enough to put my CI 560 ultra. I ended the day by helping a woman in her mid 70's who paid $800 for a 1960s vintage really cool scotty like camper of unknown lineage. A wild extreme of events.

BUT, its "Miller Time" on Friday - looking forward to a weekend of chores and maybe a little fun. Best of all, Mrs. Sweeney just asked me to reserve a campsite for next weekend and I was able to do it!! I could have gotten a campsite for THIS weekend on Friday morning. My oh my, what a difference a year makes. I honestly don't know how I feel about this. But at least for the moment, lets go camping!!!!!
 
I'm worried about that too. I need to get a ton or two of wood pellets delivered, not to mention a deep cleaning of the pellet stove. Lots to do between now and then.
 
I'm at Brown County State Park this weekend, and it's "Breaking Away" season! Every year, I’m amazed by the hundreds of bicyclists flocking here, with cars parked wherever they can find space.

I witnessed a few flare-ups between drivers and bicyclists, so here are my thoughts:
  1. Cagers (drivers in vehicles): Share the road. Bicyclists have just as much right to be here as you do.
  2. Lycra Louts (bicyclists): Climbing hills is tough challenge, but when 20 cars are lined up behind you going 5 mph behind you, on a road that flows typically at 30....sharing the road applies to you too. Pull over periodically to let drivers pass. I know you're trying to keep cardio and cadance. But that 30 foot RV is also trying to make it where it is going as well.
In grade school, sharing the ball meant passing it sometimes before getting it back. Sharing goes both ways—let’s all make it work.

On a personal note, its a beautiufl weekend to be camping --- its warmer today, 80, which is just about perfect. Though I was hoping for overnight lows that were cooler that it was. There's something about crisp autumn air that just makes me sleep better.

The leaves havn't changed much, still under a green canopy -- but there are a lot of leaves on the ground. This summer has been so dry, I anticipate that the colors will be dull brown instead of the vibrant explosion we all hope for. This is life.

Oh boy! Where are my brakes out of adjustment!!! To get my camper level, I found I needed to actually lift the wheels slightly -- I know, they are stabilizers not intended to lift. Your input is appreciated. :D But it took about 10-12 clicks to get things back where they are supposed to be! Yikes! If you havn't adjusted yours, or had your wheel bearings serviced - don't let that get away from you.

This last week, I had a friend towing his full size camper have a wheel separation -- as in the wheel left the camper and went on its own adventure, fortunately into a field not hurting anyone. Its a serious maintnenace item that needs to be considered. My only word of caution, is to make sure your tech knows what he's doing.

EIther way --- Serenity is ready for its run back home to the nest! Looking foward to CICO!!! I'm hoping to get the same approximate site I had last year.
