Its almost time
Wow, Its been a while since i have posted a blog.The weather has been so bad the internet has not worked much the last week or so. And it was next to impossible to get out of the park. We had one snow storm after the other the last couple of weeks. Nothing real serious. The power has managed to stay on, but the office phones have not worked. We disconnected our phone line several weeks ago and the satellite tv also. No beer no tv make Homer go something something! Go crazy? don't mind if i do!! Sorry, that was a line from one of my favorite Simpson's episodes," The Shinning". Its monday and we are supposed to leave friday. We have gotten everything done that can be done in advance so now its just hurry up and wait. And pray it dont snow any mo.

Its pizza time again
Tuesdays we are usually at the pizza parlor. Great pizza and our good friend Amy works on Tuesday. So its a win-win. Finally a day without rain and it was sorta warm also. I took some pics of the Ford Explorer with the tree off of it. I will download them tonight and put them on a future post. Probably 70% of the snow is gone but there is still limbs and trees everywhere. Tomorrow I'm going to start clearing a path so i will be able to get the 36 ft long monster trailer out on time. We had another screaming match between a manager and a tenent this afternoon. It's a very common thing. Thats one of the many reasons we are soooo ready to leave. Okay, that was my daily venting. The only thing else i have to say is: 2 weeks 2days! :)

time flys,but not fast enough
Its a warm sunny Monday....somewhere..but not here. It rained all weekend, and i thought it would melt all of the snow but no such luck. It was 32 degrees when we left this morning and still drizzling. remember those rubber boots i bought to gold pan in? Well, they have became standard footwear.Can't walk to the office without them. The snow freezes over at night so its got a hard crust in the mornings. Most, but not all has melted. Im going to start working on the downed trees getting them out of the roads so i wont have any trouble getting out in 18 days. We are at Starbuck today. Needed a trip to Walmart and Home depot. Several months ago we bought a roll of cat-5 wire to try and get the internet at home. Our plan was to move the router closer to the middle of the park. We paid $65.00 for this roll of wire, out of our on pockets. Of course, the managers talked the owner out of letting us do it. Saying, that everyone could get and mis-use the internet? Hell, the park advertises free internet. So we returned the wire today and got our money back. No good deed goes unpunished..

3 weeks and counting
Three more weeks! I know it looks beautiful but its really a pain to deal with. If you look real close at the second picture there is a ford Explorer buried under the trunk of a 200 ft tall tree! It wasn't licensed, registered or insured. The huge tree uprooted and fell over. Today officially starts the count down. 3 weeks or 21 days, however you do the math, we are outta here. It will be good to be back home. Its 79 degrees there and 34 here. Not just the weather, we miss the people, and our friends. Well got to cut this short, had alot more to say but duty calls. more later
