 The RV Junkies Judy and I at the PPI convention last year.

wow another new year!  

The RV Junkies made the trip to Florida again an we are sure enjoying the warmer weather.  The old bones don't creak quite so bad when here.

   Left Elkhart on Christmas Day and made it to south of Nashville by 9:00 P. M.  Parked at a Cracker Barrel that was closed for the holidays. 

Awoke at about 4 a.m. freezin as we had not turned on the furnace in the RV so got things warmed up and left.  Great driving that time of the day since there is little traffic.  Traveled all day and made north side of Tallahassee by 5 p.m.  A night time visit to Big Oaks R V Park was as easy as always when we stop there.  It is in the right place distance wise to be one night stop on our way to central Florida.

Cold front poised to come through tonight.

A cold front came though this today as planned for, with a fair amount of "blow".  Blow is what the locals call the windy conditions when a front passes.  They complain about the cold. Yah Right! Cold being 60 degrees.  Just did some work outside at 7:00 A.M. in a pair of shorts, period and it felt like a spring breeze, but still took down the 6ft by 8ft sun screen that was attached to the awning that turns into a large sail in higher winds.

Wind has increased this afternoon and the temp gone down in the past hour or so.
 It is a bit breezy for shorts.
 Tried to fish in the marina a little while ago and it seemed like the wind knew I was there and upped the anti.  So back to the camper and an afternoon cup of coffee.

We did laundry and hung it out to dry on the PVC clothes line that I made to hang off the back ladder of the RV.  Due to the amount of clothes and weight, I discovered a need to redesign the rig.  Off to the hardware store again.  Now two more 3/4 PVC 10 ft pipes and a new series of elbows and T's await being added to improve stability.  Just realized no saw.  Nope, not anything, so will be headed back to the hardware for a tube cutter in the morning to finish the job.

Enough for today.  Will try keep things up to date.  So long and keep smilin'
