Money, Money, Money

It seems that the frequency of my posts in inversely proportional to the amount of money we are spending.  Since we hit Tuscaloosa the flow has looked like an Al Gore global warming chart.

We bought the Truck just outside of Tuscaloosa and have been throwing small amounts of money at it to get it ready for the trailer.  Got it ready with the hitch installed, new spray-in bed liner, electrical hook up in the bed and a new trailer brake controller, just in time to pick up the new (to us, it’s an ’05) fifth wheel trailer and take it to the camp ground to set up until the first trip (currently being planned for just after the new year).

Now the painful part of buying stuff to make it a home when we have everything we would need back in Alaska.  We got the essentials and are starting to shop the thrift stores for the rest.

The only big item left is the sliding bed cover for the truck and storage boxes to use the space around the fifth wheel hitch.  We’re going to let the credit card cool down a bit before getting that.

Meanwhile, Amy and Derek have added another member to their family.  Higgins, a 2 year old yellow lab mix, recently graduated from the DAWGS in prison program in Port St. Joe, FL.  He in settling in nicely and should graduate from his new cell (the kennel/crate in the master bedroom) soon.  Photos to follow, soon, really.
