Thanks... for the kind thoughts, PMs and emails.
It has been a hard year: (you should go camping and write about it so that we can read about it)
Janet has had 4 surgeries since July... two of them on her left shoulder... and is wearing a boot for a stress fracture on her foot... she has fineally healed enough to start PT this week.
I'm getting invasive tests that make me sick... a bummer.
We'd hoped to go to Savannah, Ga for Thanksgiving... the campers ready... we are wanting...
1081 nights and holding...
Chet
On edit... I had to correct our number... wishfully I'd added a one instead of a zero

As they say," Gettin old ain't for sissies" and "If you don't use it you loose it." Are operable terms that we too are facing. Linda had a cataract operation 2 years ago after which she went blind in that eye. A Pituitary tumor was discovered pressing on the eye, origin unknown. After brain surgery she has recovered completely. Modern medicine is our friend. Recently kidney stones and melanoma surgery set her back, briefly.
At present we are staying in our TC, in the front yard, whilst some of our family resides in the bricks. Linda is resolute that we will continue the gypsy life as long as possible. I have cut down on some of the maintenance, letting others stroll on the roof etc. Falling could be a rather large set back! At 78 slower is better'n noer.
Hang in there Chet! We have all been very lucky to be able to achieve the independence and joys of TCing. The key, for me has been Linda's willingness to opt for both the open road and the open sea, in leau of permanently porch perching. All ahead a little slower helmsman.....

I haven't been on for a long time... I'm still a 49 night trip behind on this thread.
It is from Cajun country in Louisana to Brownsville TX boondocking on the beaches all the way.
we have been taking care of medical issues.
We recently had a visitor and his wife. We upgraded his Fantastic Fan Model 4000 to a Model 6150 using spare parts tha I had on hand. Now he has rain sensor, motor drive to open and close the dome and thermostatic control.... every thing automatic.
I also did an overhaul on our camper.... a little here, a little there.
The camper is ready to go... Janet still has some PT and I need another test... or two. We want another trip of two...
I hope that all of you are using your campers.
Chet (Sleepy)
