Where Are We Today
The "Ridge"
Priceville, Ontario
Here we are days from leaving the Ridge to head south
and I haven’t done my Spring wrap up of our trip home and winter mileage. If
you recall from Pat’s blog, we had a little excitement on the way home in blowing
one of the trailer tires. I did change that tire on the side of the road, not
something I would want to do again anytime soon. The rest of the trip home was
uneventful. There was little damage to the underside of the trailer and I was
able to fix it while sitting at our dealers when we stopped there before
returning to the Ridge.

Someone was asking how our new batteries that we
bought for the trailer were doing. I am pleased to say that they are performing
well and we have had no issues.
I did go back to work this summer with a few different
projects. The one that I am most excited about is the last one, a huge deck,
over 700 square feet.

Stinson was one weekend and the Cub the next weekend. |
Our hot water heater relief valve was sticking, so
water was continuously dripping from it. After procrastinating far too long, I
drained the tank and replaced it. I also replaced the anode rod, though it
didn’t look bad, it’s been around a year since it was last changed.

So, we are wrapping things up here at the “Ridge” for another year. The motorcycle got put away today, the car and truck get oil and filter changes tomorrow and then the car will go into storage until spring. There will be a few last-minute things to take care of, which you can read about in Pat’s blog as they happen.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I have to say. I’ll
try to keep you updated on our trip route as we head for Arizona. Until the next
time take care and stay safe.
