Vacation is over. It was so nice to attend a GTG and even run errands and be at home yesterday. Reading all the posts and catching up. Do wish everyone on the move a safe day and those staying put a warm dsy. Have been waking up early, but not getting up. Now need to get in gear and get moving this morning. Will check back later to see what you are doing.

Dishes are washing... coffee is hot and oatmeal is steaming on the stove... come on in and tell us about your joys and sadness we are here to listen...

Morning all!

Ran out early and got my haircut! I would post a pic but I'm camera shy. Let me just say it's really short!

Did yard pick up duty while I let my pups run around and snoop. Not as much as I thought there would be, I must have been keeping up with the stuff close to the house pretty good.

Got my friend Daun's bedrooms all in order yesterday and called her last night. She still doesn't know when they will let her come home. I will continue to work my way through the rest of her house but it's not very dirty with only me and Hershey there.

My friend Anne's husband made some cut out silhouettes of his Labs to put on their fence in the back yard and she posted pics of them on FB. They were so neat I asked if he would make me some and he did! She will be coming over to drop them off this afternoon. I want to put them on my driveway gate, I am so excited!

Not much else going on today, ran to store for something to go with supper tonight. DH is stopping to look at a car for a customer so he will be a little late getting home.

I'm off, (boy is THAT an understatement!) enjoy your day!

Exciting morning. Got a loud knock on my door at 7:00 am this morning. (I was still in bed, not being a morning person.) It was a workman telling me they were going to turn off the water because they had a water pipe break, so I threw on some clothes and ran outside to fill a couple of empty chlorox bottles I keep around. My fresh water tanks were dead empty, which is my own fault for being so lazy last night. They proceeded to bring equipment to my site and start digging. I went back to bed. Apparently they could not find a leak so closed it all up.

I finally got up after they left, ate some breakfast, and filled my tanks, since the water was now back on. However, they are back now digging. Not sure what is going on, but at least I have water now, that is assuming I can get my water pump to prime. The darn thing has to run forever before it pumps water. And it was new last January!!! It always works but sometimes take well over an hour. Grrrr.

Staying at Cochiti Lake COE campground about 25 miles from Santa Fe, NM. Absolutely beautiful place: $10 for water and electric for seniors and $6 for non electric. Fantastic view to boot and as usual for the COE, extremely well kept, although I have not been in bathrooms. (Why does time show as 3:12 pm? It is only 12:12 MST where I am and I think only 2:12 pm EST. )

After noon again but I just got off work, got my flu shot, and am heading over to my dads to get stuff ready for tomorrow when the kids show up to rake his leaves. Also going to go thru my stuff in the garage and repack it and bring it back to my garage.

I didn't hear anything back from my brothers yesterday about who's taking my dad to his doctor appt on Friday. I called one of them last night and left a message but didn't hear back, and no e-mails from either one this morning. So I sent them both an e-mail this morning saying I will be taking our dad to the appointment. I had three of my coworkers offer to cover my shift for me on Friday! At least I know I can count on them to help me out when I need a favor! My brothers just suck!

Cold and cloudy today with occasional rain. Snow expected tonight but not much.

Everyone I voted for, got elected last night, so am happy about that.

Hope you all have a great day!

On edit: just got a nasty e-mail from one brother saying I am making them look bad to my dad by "taking everything on myself". Huh????!!!

If you're talking about the time on the forum, it shows what you set it to show in your user control panel. If you never set it, it defaulted to something.

Judy, I just asked my hubby about a non priming water pump. I actually said, would it that be a air leak somewhere so it can't form the needed suction? And he said, yes either that or it's a defective water pump. Suggested checking all clamps and fittings for tightness as a first step. Sounds like it could be a pin hole leak not allowing it to build pressure in normal time.
One of our first trips out in our bus we had the water pump go out. We borrowed one from a friend at the rally that carried a spare, then when we got home bought a new pump to give the friend plus a rebuild kit. They are actually pretty easy to rebuild, took husband less than an hour. We keep the rebuilt pump in the bay where the pump is that is installed. We have known some who plumb in a second pump with valves so if one quits they just move a wire and flip the valves and are back in business. It's annoying to have a full tank of water and no way to access it.

Beth - the time thing has always thrown me too. I looked again & mine is set to central standard with daylight savings option, but the time is an hour off. I change to NO on the daylight savings & now time is right. Do I have to turn it on again when the clocks change in the spring? The time was wrong then also.
sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm mathematically challenged and I guess that includes clocks

I don't remember if I have to change it because of time change. I have to change mine all the time because I'm moving that sometimes I just let this one be off.
