I Was Able To get To The RV

Ah, a sure sign of Spring. I was able to get to the camper on Sunday. Enough snow had melted enabling me to open the door to the camper and poke around for a while.
I had been hearing a beep coming from that direction for the past few weeks and figured it was a low battery warning for the smoke detector or the carbon monoxide detector. It was the later of the two, but both devices are now at full strength .
Everything else in the rig looked pretty good. I will know for sure when I am able to drain out the antifreeze from the water lines and fire up the appliances.

Can you tell I am getting Spring Fever?

You never know what you will find after putting something like an RV to bed for at least five months. Any one of a number of problems can crop up.

Speaking of problems....how about these "issues"?















I can only imagine some of the choice words uttered or screamed during those "events"!

Let the Warm Up Begin!

The temperatures here at Coyote Ridge have been reaching the upper 30's most every day for about the past week. Slowly, the snow piles are getting smaller...but not fast enough. We are hoping for some mid 40 degree weather so we can get rid of the stuff before the Spring rains arrive.
Timing of the snow melt is important so that we can lessen the chances of flooding.

Here is a little number game that was sent to me. It was very cool and accurate. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping in! Bob



Find out who truly is your role model - mine was Mother Theresa.

DON'T SCROLL DOWN YET!!


FIRST, do the simple math below.

THEN, scroll down to find your hero.

It is truly remarkable just how accurate this is!


1) Pick your favorite number between 1 and 8
2) Multiply your choice by 3
3) Add 3
4) Multiply again by 3
5) You'll get a 2 digit number......maybe 42, for example
6) Add the digits together. Example 4 and 2 = 6

Now Scroll down.
With that number, see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:

Fun with numbers!

Could Spring Be Near?

The weather here at Coyote Ridge has taken a turn for the better this week. We have had three days above the freezing mark with more in the forecast.
Spring flooding is a real possibility, especially if we get more snow, heavy rain or a rapid snow melt. Time will tell.

Someone sent this to me the other day and I just had to pass it along to you.

Summer is Coming....Maybe!

Yup.....a sure sign of Summer. We can see the deer again here at Coyote Ridge.

Like so many areas of the country, we have had a long, tough winter with more than enough snow and cold. We realize we live in Minnesota, but at times we think we have been transplanted to Siberia.

I Think This Is Very Good Information
