we be chillin'

And eating too much and drinking too much and not getting out taking pictures much!  My bad!

However, above is how we can start each day (or a mid day snack or just whenever the mood hits) you go out and pick yourself and orange or three (actually Paul said they are called satsuma ~ as a matter of fact that link has a recipe there but with six eggs I probably won't be making it any time real soon).  Also, for the northerners - we have had two frosty mornings yesterday and today - 26 and 28 degrees at 7:00 AM!!!!!!

Rick and Paul worked most of the day yesterday on this ... the bikes used to be the other way in the trailer, as in we would ride them up the side door ramp (to the right of my bike in the photo above).  Well that was not great because I couldn't ride my bike straight in and Rick would have to pick up and move the rear end after I rode it into the stand.  So now we can ride both of them in from the back door (where the car goes in) and Rick doesn't have to move anything!!!  We are also coming up with plans to rearrange other things in the trailer (aka the shed!).  We keep our bike jackets and chaps etc in there and we just couldn't come up with a way to neatly store them but also have quick easy access to them.  They had been traveling in milk crates and storage bins but it was just so messy and a pain ... we are trying a few brass coat hooks on the side walls ... hopefully that will work better and eliminate the clutter out there.  It has been one of those things that we just have had to create solutions for along the way.  Now if we can continue to eliminate more of the cluttered storage stuff in the coach!  Seems there is still a lot of "stuff" that we haven't used in the 13 months we've been on the road and it should be time to get rid of it!  Whatever we feel its "value" is I am becoming a firm believer in the logic of "if you haven't used it in a year get the heck rid of it"!!  Heck when it's all done we could increase our mileage by maybe two miles a gallon - ya think?

Oh and I keep forgetting to mention ... remember the new blog I was setting up on squarespace?  Well, NOT happening ... I had a two week free trial and in that time I couldn't even get beyond creating the header ... much too complicated for this girl!
