LazyLife on the road

Not much excitement going on at the moment. Taking long walks in the woods? Reading or maybe it is napping, seems like I read a chapter and fall asleep. Playing with Spencer and CW.  The following photos were all taken today.. See what you think..

Nice day to walk in the woods, but wait what is that sound??

Why, it is an 18 wheeler going by..  LOL.. Part of the park borders I-65..

CW was not happy with the harness I used to put her outside,

For the second time in a year I get to use my grill..

Cooking on the grill outside, enjoying the sun.

Here is my toast to all hoping we all have a great New Year.

CW escaped the harness and would not come in. Just have to wait and see if she comes back.

To end my day I think I will take a nice long shower, NO CW has not returned at this time...

Busy day doing what I have to get done.

Today is a get it done day.... First on my list was taken the rig into a garage to get the breaks fixed, the rear ABS and emergency break lights came on when I was driving down here and never went off. The drivers manual said it was still safe to drive but have checked out as soon as possible. Took rig to a Trax Tires that I found online, the place can do it all. Today was the day for break repair, main cylinder on both rear breaks was leaking fluid causing the problem. The leak was so bad both break drums were soaked and had to be replaced. ( yes I looked at them when being removed ) If not replaced could have caused a lock up later when I used them. ( true, looked it up online )...  This little adventure  took all morning....

Look real close and you can see the old break drum... Soaked!!!!

Once all was well with the breaks ( going back Friday for turn-up and transmission check. ( transmission was replaced in June and I want to be sure all is okay )... I went to Wal Mart just down the street for food and a few other supplies. On the way back I stopped at Ruby Tuesday's for lunch. Friday I think I will try Wintzell's...

Made it back to camp with a pocket of quarters so doing my laundry... Only $1.00 a load so one wash one dry = $2.00... Not bad...

This could take some time...

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 

View seen walking the beach loop trail

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..

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

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..
