In regards to the blog magically showing up it was because of a change I made to make it update on blogrolls since it had been broken for several months. Just took a while to figure it out.heyduke50https://www.blogger.com/profile/14927304490275027002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885468929827985437.post-32220505773475653452021-10-25T02:30:51.515-05:002021-10-25T02:30:51.515-05:00Heyduke -- just catching up on my reading of your ...Heyduke -- just catching up on my reading of your blogs. For some reason, your blog was lost on my computer. Just like Magic, it appeared today. I noted that you are trying to find a place to settle down for longer periods with a climate of not too cold or too hot. <br /><br />May I suggest that you visit the Ocala, Florida area. Beach and I have thought about it for a number of reasons. The climate in the winter is a little chilly, but never to the point where you could not tolerate being outside. I love the area because it is less crowded, and the Ocala area is horse breeding country. And when you needed a major check up, the Mayo Clinic would not be far to go. There is a lot of wildlife and rivers and springs, such as the manatee making their way down to warmer waters. There should be large lots to park the RV as the area isn't as highly developed as areas in south Florida. Also, making a trip up to Raleigh to visit your daughter and new baby shouldn't be a chore. I know you will make the right decision for you.

He would be able to do all this and I don't have a clue. What I do know is that more and more things are problematic and without him it's a horrible problem getting especially hydraulics fixed. I think I had over $2400 in my slide and jack problem. Mostly due to the fact that there was no mobile tech who really knew what to do and no where to take it. But I had to pay for their time anyway.
