Good Morning everyone,
Finally rolled out of bed around here. Geez, feels like noon. Well, it's 8:56 a.m. What am I doing in bed this late I gotta get a schedule going around here Course part of it was due to doggie wake up calls in the middle of the night. Got to go potty. And Tessa has been having issues with choking and coughing, can't really tell which, so that woke me up a couple of times, as she's been sleeping with me these last couple of nights. Vet appt. coming up for next week. She's debarked and sometimes that can lead to problems, who knows. Usually she's sleeping in her own bed, but these past couple of nights, she has wanted up with me. Guess she needs her "snuggle fix".
Nothing much on the agenda around here. Just the weekly house cleaning. Won't take long. If I ever get to it. Got a busy week coming up, so will take care of that today. The work on scrapbook this afternoon and maybe take the dogs for a walk in the snow. Supposed to have around 2-4 inches. This has been a very crazy winter. Never know what the weather is going to be from one day to the next. We have had all 4 seasons so far this month.
I've been out pricing trucks as I would like to replace my big engine one with the next size down. It's still capable of towing my TT. When I got this one, gas prices were down below $3. But now, well we won't go there. Plus MI legislature is supposed to take up a bill that will change the way the state funds road repairs etc., Will involve making some changes to the gas tax. No matter which way we look at it, it looks like an increase in the amount we will pay at the pumps over and above the price of the gas. We have a 19 cent a gallon gas tax right now, but that might be scraped for a tax on the wholesale price, which might mean we pay an additional 9 cents a gallon. And then they also are talking of adding a fee to our license plate renvewals every year. Maybe as much a $67. Needless to say, people aren't happy. Going to cost too much to drive in this state pretty soon. And the State Parks Recreation Passport is also tied to license plate renewals, an extra $10 per vehicle if people want to buy it. Could put that in jeopardy. A lot of people up here work for minumum wage and are drivng older vehicles cause that's all they can afford, and they are going to wind up paying more out of pocket costs. And then there's food and.... Some are barely making ends me as is. Time to get off my soap box.
Sounds like Soos, Molly and Dinah are going to be a great threesome. Will be hard for Soos to keep Dinah down for a week expecially with Melissa's parents visiting with their guide dog who will be out playing with Molly in the yard. Have fun Soos.
All seems to be well in Camper Land. New rigs are being purchased, ideas for personalizing them are beginning to pop up. Plans being laid for the summer and all eyes are on AK. And I know there are a bunch of us wishing we were going. Well, maybe down the line we willl make our own AK GTG. The TX GTG isn't that far off anymore either. Kath, Irmi and Steve are enjoying FL. etc.
Well, I've got to get this body in gear around here. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
