Late April Update

Lots have been happening. First off, we joined WBCCI - White Mountains Chapter of Region 1 and then signed up for Region 1 outing to be held May 29, 30, 31, and June 1 at Champlain Valley Fairgrounds in Essex Junction, Vt. We decided to give WBCCI a shot and this outing will be a good way to find out if we like it or not. Going to be the "shakedown" cruise for Zia. Hopefully we'll learn a lot and come back in one piece. Mostly concerned with how Molly travels. Molly is our Boston Terrier.

On Wednesday, April 23, 2014 we made another trip to Camping World in Chichester, NH. Among the things we bought for Zia this time were:
Tire Covers(UV protection)
Pet Fence Wire
Quesadilla Basket
Rug Grippers
30A 25' Extension Cord
Adapter 12V Dual
Butane Lighters
Aluminum Side Table
12' Hose - Propane
Plastic Storage Boxes
Battery Meter
Hose washers
Hose Y connector

Other things purchased this month include:

•  a CB Radio for the truck. Bought a Cobra + Antenna from Amazon.
• we resolved Mary's on-the-road sewing/quilting dilemma  with the purchase of a new light weight sewing machine. She bought a new Janome Magnolia 7360 at New England Fabrics in Keene. Let the sewing begin!

Hopefully not too much else we need to get for our "new home".  Among the items left to get:

• laptop computer for 'on the road'
• wireless networking solution

Regarding the wireless networking solution, currently looking at the Pepwave OTG Router. More to follow on this.

Lastly, I began project of polishing our Airstream. Project is an understatement. With the recommendation of the WBCCI White Mountains Region president, we purchased a product called Glare and 2 days ago began the process of polishing our airstream. It is a very time consuming process, all done by hand, however first indications are good. Will keep plugging away. Done correctly, it puts a finish on a very protective finish that is supposedly good for 5 years.

So much for April.................
