Did you remember to "spring ahead" last night? Jim set most of the clocks here in the double-wide last night, but still has a few to do this morning. 

We had a little excitement here a week ago. Jim went out the back door and into the screen room and found water running across the floor!!! :-(  After a little inspection, it was determined that the house water heater had sprung a leak and was doing it's best to completely soak the floor and everything that was setting on it! Luckily most things were not down on the cement floor so just a few boxes got wet. 

After getting a few items up off of the floor, Jim called Kevin, (our local handyman). He came over and confirmed that it was indeed the water heater that was leaking. He told Jim that he was pretty sure that the local Lows had new water heaters like we needed in stock, so after Kevin left, Jim took Big RED and headed over there to purchase one. 

Anyway, Jim got the heater, Kevin came back in the afternoon and installed it, and now everything is good again! ;-) 

Not much else to report. Jim took Big RED in for an oil change the other day. He's been over to the CG to do a little work on Nora. He still needs to take Big RED someplace to get new tires for him, ( the old ones are pretty much worn out and the sidewalls are starting to crack), but hasn't decided on where to purchase them yet. Those tires are going to be a pretty big expense, so he wants to try to get the best deal possible. 

Both Linda and Jim seem to be doing fine. The tree pollen has been pretty bad lately, so they've both had some problems with that. No test or anything until next month, so nothing to report there. 

Did you know that  DST was established in 1918?

Woof!!!

I'm In BIG Trouble!!!

DeBary, FL.

84 deg. clear, SW wind @ 5 mph.

Forecast = Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 87F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph.


I'm in BIG trouble now!!!! I guess Jim thought I had been posting lately, but when Roland, (one of Jim and Linda's best friends), called last evening and told him that I had not posted since way back at the beginning of last month. Jim wasn't too happy with me!!! :-( 

You see, I have trouble coming up with things to post about when there's really nothing special going on around here, so I just didn't post. I knew that I should be posting something, but I just didn't!!

So, here goes with the latest from DeBary.

Back on the 15th of Feb. Jim had a doctor's appointment with his chemo doctor. (During the summer, she got married, so now she's Dr. Gupta instead of Dr. Saferali.)  Anyway, Jim had a blood test and Dr. Gupta told him that everything on the test looked good and that she didn't seen any indication of cancer.

On the 3rd of April, Jim will have a CT scan and if that doesn't show anything, we'll be "good to go" for our summer travels.

Monday, Jim fired up Big RED and took him over to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Store to have Big RED's batteries checked. As Jim thought, one of the batteries was bad and since they were both the same age, (about 6 years old), Jim bought 2 new batteries. The salesman at the auto parts store replaced them right out in the parking lot. Jim still has a list of things that need to be done to Big RED, most important are getting his oil changed and then purchasing new tires for him, which will be pretty expensive.

Other than that, I really can't think of anything else to post about, except that as of now, it looks like if everything goes well with the CT Scan, we'll be leaving here right around the beginning of May.

Oh!!! I almost forgot!!!

Did you know that today is Jim and Linda's 32nd wedding anniversary?

Woof!!!
