and I still haven't figured out "what am I gonna be"!!
Maybe I'll just say to hell with Halloween and go to bed early..........same as the last 25 or so Halloweens.
Still trying to get settled in a little bit at a time. I hauled some extra tires for the Rhino, tool boxes, bicycle and a bunch of other stuff since I had much more room on the bigger trailer. Also bought a bunch of cables and locks since we don't have a storage shed. Then we got here and I left everything chained down on the trailer. Last year I just kinda piled it in front of the M/H and we had no problems. Been hearing about copper wire being stolen from vacant lots so I was getting a little concerned about leaving stuff out. So..........been browsing Craig's List and finally found a small enclosed trailer for sale. Guy wanted $750 so we went and looked at it. It's kinda small about 4' x 7' inside; but, it looked like it would hold everything. I made an offer for it and after some brief haggling I bought it for $650. Got it home and all my excess goodies fit in it nicely. Got some friends who live here year around or else have stick houses that they live in while here so maybe I can store the trailer with one of them when it comes time to head back North. Anyway it solves the storage and security problem while we're here. It probably wouldn't be too hard to sell; but, I'd like to keep it around.
Found some 14 inch wheels on Craig's list also with a bolt pattern that will fit the Rhino. He only wants $75 for them so guess I'll go to the tire shop tomorrow and see what I can come up with for on/off road tires that will work better for the Rhino on paved streets. The Rhino gets a little squirrely on pavement at 55+ mph.
Made our rounds to casinos, two of them, so have one more to contribute to and then we can try and stay away from them..........they're not like at home where the casino is only about 10 minutes away.
We need to make a "drug" run to Mexico before those "damn winter visitors" get here so need to do that soon. We got a friend in Corning who gives us money to pick him up some tummy pills for him...........saves him a bundle as we get a year's supply pretty cheaply.
Weather has been really good, usually when we come home after our travels in the afternoon we run the A/C for an hour or so and that takes care of the heat. Actually, Becky thinks we don't need the A/C at all; but, I do.
Both of us had Dr. appointments on Tuesday...........just made contact with the Doc to let him know we're back in case we need him.........and I got my flu shot while there. I still have to see the local Rheumatologist; but, no hurry with that.
Well, tomorrow is Friday so guess we'll see if the clam chower at a Greek restaurant we go to is still good.
Later. W&B
