Arrival, Fitting the new RV, and Settling In.....
Another winter in heaven ala Leakey TX, for our 5th year. We don't have any real projects (I think?) this year, but just want to pick up where we left off. First up would be to position the new Arctic Fox on our pad. It is 5' shorter than our Rockwood Windjammer, so we want to get it where it can access the sewer connection as well as the water with little or no adjustment.
Admittedly, when you're accustomed to all the room and amenities of a large 35' RV, scaling down takes some adjustment, to a point some compromise and balance. While here, we have the luxury of having 2 small cabins to share the load. What the hell, at least there is NO SNOW. We arrived the day after they got 1" of rain so the ground was a bit soft, but we parked with little problems. In fact, the new RV fits just fine on the patio slab with no adjustments.
Once we inventoried the property, utilities, cabins, and uncovered the Polaris we were on our way. Next up I ordered 800 lbs. of corn for the feeder to be delivered. We won't be hunting this year but wanted to continue to feed the deer. Thank God the neighbor helped my old ass with this. Barb uncovered and set up all the other necessities from our storage for the garden and the patio. Unfortunately, our Pampas Grass did not survive. Time for a new plan. The Chola and Purple Sage in the drive garden are doing pretty well. The DirecTV satellite setup was its usual pain in the bahookie. It took 2 1/2 days to get the dish aligned.
