You nailed it, I got nothin to add.

Good Morning FOOFs
I was finally able to get the oil changed in the motorhome last weekend. Boy, I am getting too old for this stuff. Getting the oil into the engine is harder than draining it. They sure don't give you much room under the hood to get to the oil fill. If it wasn't so expensive to get an oil change (places around here want $250), I would have someone else do it. I can do it myself with synthetic oil for around $50.
The wife and I are taking a weekend trip in the motorhome. We are trying out a new RV resort called "Resort at Canopy Oaks". It about an hour and a half drive from here (a little east of Lake Wales Florida). It's only been open a couple of years and looks really nice. They have a big Tiki bar on an island on a big lake. They also have a Pizza and Sanwidth place, a hair and nail salon, a spa, a big workout room, an arts and crafts area, a business center, a big pool and clubhouse, and a country store. All onsite. I don't even think we are going to take the Jeep this trip. They also have golf cart rentals so we rented a cart for the weekend.
ZuZu has only gone on two motorhome trips and we haven't taken a trip in about 2 months. I got the motorhome out of storage last night and parked it in our driveway. I wanted to dust and clean the floors so I took ZuZu out to the motorhome with me. My wife came out to put some stuff in the fridge. When either of us would leave the motorhome, ZuZu would start crying. She was having some separation anxiety. I am hoping that she gets over that as I don't want to leave her in the motorhome if she is barking or crying. Maybe it was because I didn't have the other dogs in the RV with her. The last trip we took, we ran out for lunch and she was barking when we closed the motorhome door. I went back inside and told her to be quiet and she did finally quit barking. We hung around outside for a few minutes to make sure she didn't bark and when we got back to the RV a few hours later, she was passed out asleep. Hopefully she will learn after a few more trips. She is a very smart dog.
I hope everyone is doing well. Does anyone have any good trips coming up this summer? We are going to Mississippi for a week later this month. There is a new resort in Biloxi right on Biloxi bay. We like staying on the water and the wife can get her gambling fix at the casinos while we are there.

Good to hear from you Burch. I am leaving the end of the month for Indiana. I will go up to Virginia first to see my daughter and family. Then on to Indiana for a graduation celebration. My great-niece was born with a heart defect 19 years ago and had to have surgery in the NICU. She had a kidney that wasn't functioning 100% too. I think that finally resolved itself. She has had a few heart procedures in her young life, the most recent was an ablation to take care of V-tach. She is a sweet girlie and we all love her and takes her problems in stride. She was behind her age group in school, so my niece homeschooled her for two years. When she went back to school, she went into the grade behind her and has just flourished. Her grandmother is a cook and has had her cooking from a very young age, so it's no surprise to us all that she is headed to culinary school. When my Mom died a year ago, she took most of mom's pots and pans and cooking utensils for herself. Mom would have loved it. After that celebration I plan to travel in my new motorhome before attending my 55th h.s. reunion in August in Indiana, then I will probably head home.
Coach House is having a rally in September in Natchez and I want to go to that. After the rally I hope to visit some of Terry's relatives in Baton Rouge and Mississippi. I can see a drive on the Trace for me and the new moho. My favorite all time drive.
Take care, fellow FOOF's.

Dale, I hope you have a safe trip to Indiana. We had a great time this weekend at the new RV resort. The place is kind of in the middle of no where and we took back roads to get there. It was such a pleasant drive with not having to deal with the interstate highways around here. I don't think you can go more than about 20 miles in any direction without road construction on I75 or I4. The only issue I had was a very rough railroad crossing. I was on a county road and had already gone across a few railroad crossing (got stopped one time by a train). I was approaching one crossing and when I got close, I noticed there was quite a bit of rise on the tracks. The speed limit was 55 mile an hour. There wasn't any signs indication a rough or raised track. This is a road I had never traveled before. I slowed down to about 40mph and when I got close, I realized I had made a mistake. I hit the brakes and when I hit those tracks I swear the motorhome got airborne! I heard a bunch of crashing sounds behind me. It really freaked me out. There was nowhere to pull over (two lane road with no shoulder) so I continued on. Motorhome was driving fine so drove another 20-30 minutes until we got to the resort. Once setup, I looked underneath the motorhome at the suspension and didn't see anything broken. The crashing sound I heard behind us was the cabinets in the bathroom that had come open. Our master bathroom is in the back of the motorhome and when I hit those tracks, all the cabinets opened and everything came out onto the floor. Was a big mess. I sure hope I didn't damage or weaken anything in the suspension of the motorhome. On the way home, every time I saw a RR crossing I slowed WAY down. I won't make that mistake again!

Wow, sure glad nothing visible was broken and hope that all is well. I have the habit of slowing way down for RR tracks for this very reason. I'm like a school bus. . . stopping at every crossing. LOL But years of towing boats and cars. . . well, you know.
I belong to RV women and they had a campout at Canopy Oaks. I didn't go but I do hope to go more this winter. They usually pick really nice (and expensive) resorts. My neighbors just got back from Margaritaville at Auburndale, which is just 7 miles away. They said it was super nice, new and expensive. But they went with family and had a great weekend and it didn't cost much in fuel to get there.LOL
I'm finishing up doctor appointments and then will be leaving the end of the month. Going over to Melbourne to see my son and family first. He has a boat club boat for Saturday. I told him I don't know if that's a good idea. Everytime he gets one lined up for me, it gets cancelled for weather. LOL I've only been out once. As a family, we boated for years on Dale Hollow Lake. It's in our blood, so I hope we get to go this time.
Take care fellow FOOF's and enjoy your summer.

Well, making an unscheduled trip down to Coach House Sunday night for service Monday. My refrigerator in my 2021 is DEAD. Yep. The beer was warm. Yuck. I've been puttering around out there getting things ready to go and check the fridge at least once a week. We had a power blip last Sunday and that may have been the culprit, but I have a surge protector. It was a very small blip. . . took out my GFCI in the house and one clock and that was it. I checked that in the moho along with the fuse, which I pulled and reset and the refrigerator breaker. Even shut off everything, pulled the plug, waited a few minutes, turned back on. No joy. I called it in and they told me there is another fuse on the back of the fridge that I wouldn't be able to get to. Hmmmmm. What good is that? I took the cover off and don't really see a fuse of any kind, but do see what looks like fuse block. Believe, they are gonna show it to me so I will know next time.
So the dog and I are going on a road trip. It's 90 miles down there, but I normally choose not to go on I-4 to I-75. I may do that on the way down since it will be Sunday, but coming home I normally come up 17.
It's definitely not getting any power cause there are no lights at all on the panel. Can't turn it on, etc., no code flashes, etc.
Wish me luck. I hope it's that fuse, but it is under warranty, so we'll see.
Dale
