Kind of quiet right now. Karen is steadily getting better and better, staples out and she is moving around quite well. It is amazing. She has made a couple small outings with Jan to the store already!
Definitely moving into serious fall here in Kentucky. I mowed a couple days to finish up the rest of the grass, and mostly leaves. A couple warmer days but getting cooler, with cold nights. I ordered a new air conditioner for the motorhome to finish the project we started back in CO in summer of 2012. This way we will have 3 new A/C's and two new programmable thermostats. I'll need to get Tom's help to get it on and off the roof, hopefully before the snow flies:-)
Put in the new water pump and our random filling of the fresh water tank has ended, good to know that was definitely the problem. Steve and Bobbie left last week so we moved down into the "senior" site.
Glad to say I found some medical insurance for Jan and I, that certainly makes us feel better.
We are working on plans for our Alaska trip for summer 2014. Our little caravan of Karen and us are going to take the ferry north from Prince Rupert, BC to Juneau, then from Juneau to Haines after spending several days in Juneau, and then we will ferry south from Haines all the way to Bellingham, WA to end the trip. We were having some trepidation about our freezer, that will hopefully be full of fish, but seems most people have no problem. The boat ride is 3 1/2 days without any power to the motorhomes. We'll make our reservations shortly. The ferry fills up quickly especially for a 45' and a 42' motorhome!
Both Karen and us are contemplating new vehicles to tow before the trip, so that adds a little more logistical challenge also. Want to get all the maintenance and additions to the motorhomes done, and if we get new vehicles, we'll need to get the towing and braking equipment mounted and installed as well. To get a boat or not is still being discussed, but we haven't come up with an answer to that yet. On one hand an inflatable with an outboard would really come in handy, but is it worth the hassle of carting it around and setting it up? What do you think?

Is there any place in Alaska you can rent a R-I-B (rigid inflatable boat)?
I thought you bought a kaboat last year. Seems like a long way to haul a boat, up and back.
Renting is certainly an option. No we never ended up getting the kaboat. Thinking an inflatable folded up and a LP outboard possibly, or just renting as you say. Lots of remote lakes etc with no possibility of rentals though. Being fickle, going round and round:-)
