I am off for the entire week now and I will be continuing to work on "the list" for getting us packed up and out of here.
It is snowing again today.  Big snow flowers and although they look quite pretty, I am not impressed with more snow.  I checked the weather and it looks like the shitty weather will continue all this week.  It starts to warm up again by Tuesday of the coming week!!  Shit, Oh Dear....am starting to think that this snow is actually here to stay!!  So much for wishing it gone last week!!

Huge icicles hanging off the shop roof

I did manage to get a lot of the "to do" list checked off so now the task of leaving for the winter is not so daunting.  All the little things that need to be done all take time and it seems to want to just fly by.
I am battling a cold this week so that is not helping matters.  All this sniffling and sneezing is starting to get on my nerves.  And, my poor nose feels like it is going to fall off my face.  Thank heavens for Vicks as I am sure that is the only thing that is keeping my nose where it belongs!!

More huge icicles.  Very weird shapes though.  They
are pointed back towards the building!!

Cool to see though.  Weird shapes and all

Being so shitty outside this week, John got our new "campfire in a can" out and set it up in the man cave.  Now we can pretend we are camping and life is good!!  It kicks off a tremendous amount of heat and so we have to have it on the lowest setting or we would be cooked out!!   The evenings are really chilly now but when you walk into the man cave it is awesome.  Sooo warm!!

Our new "campfire in a can" ....Bigger and better

It works well in the man cave too!!

We are pretty much moved out of the big RV now and into the smaller one.  Time to winterize that big one and hunker down into the new one.  It is much more cozy and will not take nearly the amount of propane to heat as it is indeed much smaller.  John has yet to install the propane radiant heater into the new trailer yet but I am sure he will be doing that before we are out of here.  One does not really realize how inefficient the furnaces are in these RVs until you start buying bottles and bottles of propane!!  Holy Buckets!!
Anyway, a lot got done this week.  John got the solar panels on the truck and all hooked up and the side by side is loaded so actually, the truck is pretty much packed and ready to head South.
Life is good.
