Campgrounds Have Lots of Open Dates / First Day of Spring !!!

Openings:
   Today I have been checking online for sites at some of our favorite state park campgrounds.  So far the dates are wide open for the sites we like.  I will be trying to get some reservations  in next week.  I figure if I do it this early we have a better chance of getting where and when we want to coincide.  Our first outing with our 2 pound puppies, Lilly and Bella, will be at a state park, just to see what we need to work on with them.  State parks are pretty dog friendly, so we figure we'll try a week first, since they have never been camping.  We want to try to go back to Amish Country here in Ohio, Holmes county, too.  It is worth the drive just for the pastries!  LOL!  We have a private campground that we favor up there.  There is also supposed to be a nice state park up there, but so far we haven't had the chance to check it out.  Maybe this year we will manage it.

Getting Ready to Go:
   What steps do you take if you have been in one spot all winter, I know this only applies to those of you who are like us and are only about Half Time Rvers.  There are several things we are going to have to do this year that we haven't had to do in the past.  First we are going to have to replace the battery in the fiver it was getting weak last fall, we know that. Mike thinks that both batteries in the truck need replaced, because we have no way of knowing how old they were when we bought the truck in December 2011.The battery light keeps going on in the truck, so to be on the safe side we will replace them.  If it isn't the batteries then it may be the alternator, so that will also have to be checked. The hitch will have to be put back in the bed of the truck, so it is ready to go.  We took it out last fall to haul wood for our deck, and bricks for the patio. The usual wash and wax on the truck and fiver will also have to be done.  The Fiver has been covered all winter so it shouldn't be too bad, but the truck has had salt from the roads on it all winter, so it needs a bath bad!

Blog late:
   Sorry this is 2 days late, it has been a very busy time here with doctor appointments for both of us and some other things going on that I will tell ya about tomorrow.  I started this post on Monday evening and am just now finishing it.  I have one more meeting tomorrow afternoon and then things will (I hope) slow down for a few days! 

First Day of Spring:
   Woo Hoo!   First day of Spring!! It is finally here, at least the calendar says it's here!  The weather is telling me it's still a few weeks away!  It is cold and windy here in Ohio! The sun was out today, and we were having snow flurries at the same time!  Brrr, that wind was wicked out there today, and the sun sure didn't move the temperature up any!  It was sure nice to see the sun today though, it always makes me feel more energetic and happy! So if the calendar says it's Spring, then I know it will soon be here!  I will take that at least it is something to look forward to!  So on that note I will end this post, and will see ya's next time...
