Cooler, over cast and a drizzly kinda day.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      Well we had a wonderful warm sunny day yesterday, And we really enjoyed it. Overnight we had rain and mostly drizzly and overcast all day today. But at least not too cold 56F is doable.
        I headed out for a walkabout town with my rain hat and umbrella because it was only a light mist. By the time I got to the first street decided I would head back home and get the car to drive to Pettigrew's and the Home Hardware in town. Looking for a small battery for a calculator for Suzie's Dad, Nothing there with that number but looked similar, so I talked to Kim (owner) and she quickly found a reference on the internet to the new number replacement. And now we are good. They bought this store in 2015 and expanded to a larger location and have a really amazing inventory. Really love small town service.
my first walkabout not too nice
     We puttered around for a while still raining then I made a trip to New Hamburg to return some empties and fill our gas can for the mower here.. Then home to pick up Suzie and we made drive to Cambridge to pick a gift for a very special friend. Then stopped at Leisure Days Rv to pick up another strut for another  compartment door and a spare latch for our drawers, always nice to have one on hand.
   Then home by 3 pm still pretty cold and a west wind coming in behind us but we did have some sunshine. The sun was nice bit cold wind and temps at 48 f nit great for sitting outside yet. So again puttered around did some reading for a while then soon to begin our supper. (something I love to do).
we had a bit of sunny weather,
but still cold and rainy.
looks wonderful and love the sunshine, but the cold wind not
so great
      While the fish was grilling on our Weber Q I got to enjoy more reading time outside for a while before it was done.
I do enjoy Jack Reacher's adventures
cod fish fillets done nicely on foil with lemon
now this was a perfect meal we really enjoy
      Not going back outside again to read. Going down to freezing tonight, but we tasty warm inside and will enjoy another wonderful quiet evening. Just counting the hours until we can begin our southern migration. Only 2 more days and we outta here.
      Thanks for taking the time to drop by and check us out.

    1. We replaced our Mr.Heater last December with a Blue Flame heater and like it even better, more even heat with a thermostat, works wonderful. And we have been using it more efficient and quieter than the furnace.

  2. Wishing we could leave at the same time but with more things popping up looks like we'll be looking for our Long-Johns.
    Be Safe, keep Warm and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  5. My plan is to leave the middle of November, same as last year(right after seeing the Doc). Have not winterized the MH. Looks like it gets to freezing Saturday and Sunday nights as well with a chance of flurries here in Ottawa. Guess I am going to have to winterize it today so I can get some sleep tonight.

    1. We like to winterize by heading south to a warmer climate. Take care there and be safe when you finally get o n the road.

  6. Yes it is getting colder and we had some of that white stuff in the air last night, thankfully none on the ground this morning. A few things to do here at the Ridge and we will be on our way Saturday. Looks like your reading The Midnight Line, I just finished it, always enjoy Reacher. Safe travels and we will see you down the road.

  11. I love your comment above - winterize by heading south! I have to agree. We won't head to Texas until toward the end of December. Fortunately weather is often fairly mild in Southeast Kansas through December. We hope it holds true this year too!

    1. Thanks Cheri this is the way we want to winterize as long as we can. (our 13th year new) We will pass through Texas early December making our way to the southwest that we enjoy more than Texas. Hope you guys have a fun time as well.
