Rainy and Cold

Today was a nasty, rainy, cold day. A perfect day to do the Taxes. I'm glad that is done.

Facebook

I was told to sign up and start blogging. I did that but now I'm told to sign up on Facebook. So, I signed up on Facebook. I'm still trying to figure it all out. What's next Twitter? What ever that is?

Spring!

BBQ pork steaks, homemade beer bread and grilled zucchini. Yum!

This is the way to start Spring!

St. Patrick's Benefit Dance

We went to a St. Patrick's benefit dance in Highland, Illinois. It was a benefit for a friend's medical bills and was sponsored by the Highland Jaycees at the Highland VFW. We had a great time.

TV antenna for the Aliner

I wanted an outside antenna for the television inside the Aliner. Last year I put a set of rabbit ears on top of the propane tanks. After looking at several other mast and antennas I came up with this. I used a lightweight, cheap indoor/outdoor antenna from Walmart and PVC pipe. The pieces unscrew for easy storage. I guess we will find out if it works.

Even though we do not live in these states we have felt we should be part of this group. We have gone to several events with this group of people. When we got our latest Aliner Owners Club Membership Directory we saw a statement that made us rethink the club.
The statement:
" State Boundries are guidelines only. You can join any group that is convenient to you."
Last year at the group meeting we felt we were not eliglible to vote, but maybe we were.

Aliner Awning

After looking and reading about the several types of Aliner awnings we decided on the Mariah. I like the fact that is always attached to the camper and it's always there. Nothing else to pack or carry, it's self contained. Plus John Pfeil has installed several and he was going to install ours. We also had to decide on a color. The standard color is blue. We wanted something different. We got a color sample and discussed yellow, gold, red, tan, white, and all the rest. We settled on blue.
It turned out great, we can't wait until we can go somewhere and use it.
