With the bearings alone would not have gone far. He
left that afternoon, I wonder if he ever made it?
The people parked next to me went to Alaska last summer. He had his tow
vehicle checked out and any work needed completed, added an extra fuel
tank, had the Airstream checked out and still had problems with cracked
lights, cracked panels, tires, getting stuck.

Well, it is time for bareroot things and we have prepared the acre that is
the southeast corner of the proper between the house and the road for more
fruit trees.
So off we went because a local nursery was having a buy 3, get one free
sale. Youngest wanted an apricot, so she got two (the one she really wanted
needed a pollinator to get lots of fruit). DH wanted to try almonds and
wanted plums, so he bought 4. I wanted cherries and bought two and one
apple, an Anna, that is supposed to like the Gravensteins DH planted last
year.
Tomorrow, we are going back to another nursery and get two more apple trees
and maybe another couple of pears.
Friday we are going down to a spot next to the creek and hauling more mulch
up and setting up an area for blueberries and to finish mulching around the
inside of the garden fence to use when we split the raspberries.
Youngest's textile leader from 4-H called to say she might have a litter of
kittens here in about a month and wanted to know if we'd take them. That
was a definite YES! We figure they will take care of the ground squirrel
problem and there will be an added benefit. Seems the local deer population
is terrified of cats.
