Another Christmas get together

More family, friends and good food today. We had a good time. Watching the little ones going 100 MPH was fun.

Christmas Day

The day started out with a little snow. Carol was so happy, she wanted it to be cold and snowy.



I don't think Kevin thought it was so good. Nothing like calling a tow truck on Christmas day.




We had a great day. With good food and family, why not. The annual $5.00 gift exchange/steal, was a good time.




My brother even hit the slopes:

Thanks very much to our hosts, Mike & Dechelle. It was a great day.

Christmas Eve

Last night was fun. We all had a good time and had good food. The gifts were good too.

Noah trying to look like Santa Claus or as Carol said he was trying to look like Kevin:

Christmas

Carol always does a great job with the Christmas decorations.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. I hope everyone else did too. Good food, friends and family. What more could anyone need?

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Today I hooked up the new light on the front of the Aliner and installed a 12 VDC meter to keep track of the battery voltage. Carol asked if the meter was something I needed or a new toy. I told her it was both.



This was before I had it hooked up to 120 VAC, the voltage was a little low.



After I hooked it up to shore power:

Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day

I am enjoying having the day off and it is a beautiful Autumn day. Sunshine & blue skys.

When Carol made pie crust for the first time for chicken pot pie, I told her next time make it for a cherry pie. Today she made a cherry pie for me for Veterans Day. It was great.

Aliner

I picked up the Aliner from the "Pimp My Aliner" shop. Very nice. I now have the front covered with diamond plate, new corner pieces, all new seals, a new door lock, etc. John Pfeil did a great job.

We are all set for the next camping trip, whenever that is.

Aliner Modifications

When we bought our used 2004 Aliner last year it was in very good shape, except for a couple of problems. It had a bad converter, which I replaced. It leaked and the front of it had a lot of dents from rocks. It is in John Pfeil's
"Pimp My Aliner" shop getting new seals, recaulked and new diamond plate front end. I haven't got it back yet but it looks great. It should be like new for our next camping trip.

Buick in the Garage

With the Aliner in John Pfeil's "Pimp My Aliner" shop to get the leaks taken care of, I was able to put my car in the garage for the first time in almost 2 years. I think cars belong in the garage whenever possible.

Chicken Pot Pie

Carol made me a Chicken Pot Pie in a bread bowl pottery thing.

She said she never made a pie crust from scratch.

"Why make one when you can buy them"

It turned out very good, including the crust. I was impressed.
