SmileSmileNext week is Thanksgiving-  big time at the condo's that we manage- but the week after!  We're off to Gamble Rogers State Park in Flagler Beach, Florida.

I know that the 30's are not cold by many standards, but those of us who have been down here for a while, (25 years for us, from New England), the blood does in fact thin out.  
Therefore, I spent a few hours with the 'Pod this morning making sure that I understood the heating options.

I'm pretty sure that the compact ceramic heater I bought at WallyWorld will be fine, but the "furnace" is always an option- hopefully not necessary.

While sleeping, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels will make sure that it's at least a "Two Dog Night"!

Don't jinx us Keith!  I am always conflicted this time of year.  I love autumn and fall camping is the best.  Plus the Packers are playing football...love it.  

But...it also means old man winter is ready to pounce any moment.  No camping, no boat on the lake....just freakin' cold!

Oh well, it ain't easy being cheesey.

I have never been into winter sports.  Winter would go faster if I took up ice fishing, or snowmobiling, or drinking or something.

Let me know how that works out for you.  I do need a hobby for the non-camping season...

If you get into premium bourbons.. it's as expensive as vintage campers and boats.. but tastes better.

When we were in New England we took up downhill skiing just to save our sanity.  It's amazing the difference in
 your outlook when you start hoping for the weather that used to make you the most miserable!

The 'apres ski' is also a good time to cultivate your drinking hobby....
