Getting ready

Since the Songbird Festival took up my weekend, I had to do weekend chores today starting with some laundry.  There are 19 things on my checklist of getting ready to hit the road, and today I accomplished 5 of them.  Some things I can't do until the last minute, but today I put the Blue Ox hitch on the back of the motorhome so I can hook up the car when I pull out.  I also defrosted the frig and began packing up outside things like the tablecloth on the picnic table.  Normally I'd pack away the gas grill, but today I decided I'm just going to put it in the trash.  I've only had it a year, but it just won't warm up enough to cook anything on it.  I don't know if I'll replace it or not.  It's just as easy for me to cook inside.  If I'm in a state park, I can always cook over an open fire.  I really enjoy doing that.  I'm thinking it's just extra weight to carry along that I really haven't used that much.  Not sure what I'll do with the little ten pound gas ball that I have for it though.  That was a pricey little item that I bought in the fall of '08 so I wouldn't have to purchase those expensive one pound propane canisters.

I also took care of several other things that weren't on the list, but needed to be done before I leave.  As you can tell, I put off doing the two things that I really don't like doing...checking the air pressure in the tires and checking the water level in the batteries.  Ugh!  I'll force myself to do those two items tomorrow.  :(

Before you know it, it was time to sit outside with my camera to see the visitors at the Hard Rock Bird Cafe.  :)

EEK!!!  I tried to insert my photos, and suddenly tonight blogger won't let me do it!  What's up with that?  I can only do it for previous pictures on this blog or through Picassa.  I just want to upload photos from "my pictures" on my computer.  I don't get it.  I'm not happy.  :(

Can someone else using blogspot dot com please help me???

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later,  Judy
