Bright and early on Tuesday morning, we packed up all our gear and hitched the trailer to the truck. It's moving day. We had an appointment at Arbutus RV to have routine maintenance (repacking of wheel bearings and brake check) and also have the landing gear repaired once and for all. Turns out that the landing gear only needed to be aligned so that the legs move together. Hurray! Only one item still needs to be done before spring. One of the rv tires is worn out. We will need to replace some or all of the tires.

We rented a 200lb propane tank. This eliminates constant trips to buy propane. Propane always seems to run out at 2 in the morning. Two hundred pounds of propane will keep us toasty warm for about a month during the winter. The tank was delivered on Tuesday even before we returned from the service facility.

Last year, the water pipes froze in the kitchen. We discovered that cold air travelled into the kitchen slide. The hydraulic rails are made of steel and the water lines run alongside them. Not a good situation. By putting a heavy weight tarp around the slide this cuts down on the wind and cold. Noticeably warmer in the kitchen area. We are ahead of the game this year. Another preventative measure to maintain water service is too insulate and wrap the water hose with an electric heater tape. All done and ready to go.

| This is our Christmas tree from last year. It came in a pot and we planted it before we left. It's grown a few inches. |
So we are set up and settling in nicely. We need to buy some firewood. Don't think we need a whole cord. Half would do nicely. Firewood - next week's project.
Looking forward to the arrival of our fellow snowbirds. Time for campfires, potlucks and other fun things.
