Must be December


Last week it snowed 5-7" in two storms, was down to 22F. twice at night, rained 3 days and 4 days never got to 40 degrees. Today we had sustained 20-40 mph winds, many 50+ gusts and one at 66 mph. Yes the house shook. I stepped in to the RV while it was very windy and thought "Thank God, I'm not out driving in this". It was shaking 2" or more inside, standing still. It was not completely broadside to the wind, if it had been....
The balance of the week after today's cold front goes thru is suppose to be back in the low 60's. The very inconsistent weather people said 2-3 times last week it would be 10-15 degrees warmer than it ever got, so.... When it rains and is very cloudy it never gets as warm as they say it will.
We sold the 88 Dodge Conversion Van RV Sat. They showed up 2 1/2 hours late. Did not leave until 7 pm to go all the way back to Albq. NM. Got my price I wanted, Yaaa!
Linda's Mom still in rehab. Going on 4 weeks since operation. I'm really bored. Linda & I hope before Christmas we can take her on a RV trip. Thinking about going to Carlsbad to see the lights on the Pecos. They have a river boat evening trip for $17.50 I want take a bike and stay 2 nights. Depends on how well her Mom's doing.
I added a 24" 1080p full HD wide screen TV to the RV. Had to do some mods but it's got a great picture. It is 20 lbs lighter than the old cathode ray tube TV too. Won't need the HD tuner either.
Wiring is a pain, due to they left no way to get cables/wiring from the TV to the DVD and receiver up on top of the driving compartment. Want to add 5.1 surround sound, Blu-Ray player and better speakers next.
That's it in the pic, it's gone.
