Think I have found a home .... Hee Hee...

I love this park, ( Chickasabogue Park ) it has over 11 miles of hiking trails, a sports field, a river and beaches, laundry room, good shower, I get phone connection, television, and computer works. This is one of the best if not the best parks I have ever been to and it only cost $85 a week.  At the moment I have paid until Dec 30th, but thinking about extending until Jan 6th 2012..

Following pictures are of this mornings walk, still overcast and on the cool side but warm enough that my heater is off and my door open. :-)

Road down to the Marina

Fishing dock and small boat launch area

Nice view of the river

Does anyone know what type of mushroom this is? Never seen one like it before.

Keep looking for a Smuff

Could not read it so took a photo.. LOL...

Inland that has the sign. 

This place has it all.

Field for the kids to play..

Old Cemetery, told some graves go back to the 1700's
I could not read most so I will just believe..

This is the grave Spencer went to first, sat and looked and the right side. 

Spencer only paid respects to the ladies. Never tried with the men.. Strange..

Looks to me like the son died in WW2 Dad followed soon after. Just a guess.

Wish this one was not busted. 

Entrance to the Cemetery, at first Spencer did not want to go in, dragged his heels at first, then jumped up and ran to a ladies grave.

Came back to camp and did some cleaning, and setup my Christmas stuff..

Merry Christmas to all...

Back on the road after Amazon

Yesterday was the first day back on the road since starting work at Amazon. Took a few hours the night before to get ready, but with a little luck all went well and I was able to pull out early. Unfortunately the weather did not hold and I had to find a place to get off the road.

At times rain was so heavy I could not see past my own rig, wind was also helping me change lanes even when I did not want to. 

  After driving about 50 miles more then I wanted I found a RV park. Pulled in and called it a night, glad I did..



  Today it was still overcast but the rain and wind was not around. First thing I did was fuel up for $297 a gal, cheapest I have seen in a long time.. Then started driving goal for the night was now 347 miles down the road, so a long day was ahead.

Overcast but still pleasant for driving.

Made it to the campground of choice at 3pm...  In my site by 3:30pm and not driving again until next Friday. Will then move down the road about 200 to 250 miles and sit until Jan 3rd.  I like this camp and think it will work out great. I have internet connection, phone connection, and even get about 8 TV stations... Lots of wooded hiking trails to walk and play with Spencer... He can even be taken off lease... LOL...

My camp...

Hiking trail..

Spencer off leash on trail.

Later folks..

About Amazon.com work

Hello anyone,

   I have completed my commitment to Amazon.com and now have time to update my blog. For three months I was getting up at 0400 ( that is 4 in the morning ) so that I could take spencer out for a walk, have something to eat, make something for lunch. Then at 05:45 I met friends that I rode to and from work with. This allowed me to leave my small rig hooked up for most of the time I was there.  Work was ten hours four (4 ) days a week for the first two months, six days a week at the end. Same same each day packing the items that customers ordered, would not have been bad except the boss was on the PA system from the start of the shift to the end... The count downs to breaks, lunch, and time to go home about drove me nuts. I was wearing ear plugs until my right ear became infected and I had to stop so it would heal. So went home with a headache instead.

  The fun part all took place before Thanksgiving when trips were made to different places to eat of just look at things. Did check out two Distillers of Bourbon. Ever got a Single Barrel 20 year old bottle. Do not like the 7 year old, 12, year old, or 18 year old.... But the 20??? Niceeeeee....

Lots of Bourbon

One of the many barrels.

At this stage it taste like oatmeal

My bottle...

  We also had a very nice Thanksgiving at the camp ground. The owner of the camp opened up a game room that really belongs to his son and is just a short way from the camp ground. Did a pot luck type of dinner at a time when we knew everyone could make it. Was the last time we had the time and energy to do a get together. Fun was had by all..

RV Life as it should be

Completed my first full 40 hour week for Amazon.com and it really wiped me out. Not used to doing this type of work anymore, nice thing is the time does pass fast. The best thing is the people, here at the RV Park I am staying at we had a Get together Saturday when most of us did not have to work. The food was great but the best thing was just sitting around and getting to know each other. We also had a few games going on that we had fun at even if no scores were known..

 This is more along the lines of how I had hope RV life was like but have only seen a few times. This is a small Park run more on the honer system then a rule book, we have come to know each others dogs and the one young girl. The "rule " about leashes is not upheld unless the dog has shown that it does not obey voice commands, it is great to walk Spencer and never have to use the leash, I carry it just in case but so far he has been allowed to run and enjoy himself.

Amazon.com Campbellsville Ky

Hello out there...... I have not been doing any blogging due to working at Amazon.com. This is my second week at my new job in the inventory department. I go from bin to bin counting how many items are in each enter it in the scanner then go to the next and do it again. For ten hours four days a week that is all I do. Have not had the energy to go anywhere for photos or anything else. Hoping this weekend I will feel better and find something to do..  Later all

Ohio County Fair, In Hartford KY

Carney folks started dropping off gear Sunday the 18th, Fair is to run from the 22nd to the 24th of Sept.
Watching the drivers drop the equipment had me recalling the days when I was with Ringlings Bros. I used to drive the Bus from the train to the site the show was at, and then when we moved to a new city drive one of the trucks overland.

Monday the 19th...  Carney workers have started to set things up even in the rain. Today is wet, gray, and cool. We are all hoping things are nicer by Thursday..

Tuesday the 20 and it is once again raining, seems like it has rained at least part of the day for the last week. Run my heater for part of the day not to get warm but to get the clamminess out of the rv. Hoping to see some sun later today, would be really nice to have a night without rain so I could sleep for more then a few hours, sound of it hitting the roof wakes me up...  Some progress has been made setting up the rides and a new water thing was installed. ( right behind my space )

Wednesday 21st....  Fair starts tomorrow and it is raining once again. The Carneys have finished setting up the rides so now have to see if the rain lets up or will it be a wash out??  As far as any Motor homes the place is still on the empty side...

Kentucky visit

Been back in old KY for just over two weeks and have falling into a rut of sorts. I get up early and take Spencer for a 3 mile walk around the park using the bike/hiking trail. Then it is time for breakfast and relaxing with a book or maybe even taking a nap. As soon as I sit down I have a new friend sitting in my lap, funny thing is Spencer does not seem to care.

Have already taken my drug test for working at Amazon.com come the 2ed of Oct... In a strange way I am looking forward to working for a few months. Not sure if I will like it or not but it will give me a small buffer to make up for the losses I had over the summer due to cost of maintenance on the RV.


Not much else to report at this time, I am just hanging out doing very little.
