Foiled again

This time it was Mother Nature that interfered with my plans for the day.  I was all set to head out this morning for Louisiana, but along about 6:30 this morning the winds really began to blow again.  They certainly weren’t as bad as the Thursday before Christmas, but as I took Emma for her first outs my hair was blowin’ in the wind!  When the winds are near 30 mph, I don’t drive the rig.  It’s as simple as that.

So, I ate the bologna sandwich for breakfast that I had prepared for lunch on the road, and stayed in the almost ready-to-roll mode until noon just in case the winds died after the front passed through.  They didn’t, so I’m here for another night.  In the afternoon I called the state park to inform them that I wouldn’t get there today, but my plan was to arrive there tomorrow.  I don’t want them renting out the site I had reserved because of a no show.

Upon reading some reviews about Lake Fausse Pointe State Park, I found out that there is little to no cell phone reception.  That probably means my air card won’t work either, so I may not post again until I get to Mississippi on Thursday.  EEK!  It’s been a long time since I haven’t had internet connections… almost five years as near as I can figure.  I’ll try to survive.  Surprised smile

Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later,  Judy

This and that

I was off early this morning to get the new tires on the toad.  I only had to wait about an hour or so, and I was back in business. One of the forecasts I read said it would be bright and sunny today.  So much for the weather guessers.  This is Balsam Lake that is a pretty good size, and you can normally see the treed far shore.  I took care of several other chores in town, and then headed back home. By the time I got back, it was noon and those sunny skies surely hadn’t shown up yet.  Believe it or not, there are five trumpeter swans and a couple of ducks on this pond.  They’re hard to see, but they’re there just right of center. Can you see the visitors center and headquarters through the fog where I was watering the sod last weekend?  I kind of enjoyed this softer view of the refuge. About a week ago, while I was out checking signs for painting, I came upon some trash at one of the boat launches.  It seems some boaters left a six ...
