Today was another laid back day with no where to go and things to pack since tomorrow is a travel day. A bit cool when we awoke this morning but the promise of a nice day was there. It definitely turned out to be that once again. According to most folks in this part this weather has been quite unusual in the sense that there has been to rain at all. Indeed, things around here are dry as bone.
I took my time and began to get things in order for tomorrow. Adjusted the tire pressure on Little Graybeard. I checked under the hood to make sure all looked in order. Not much to check there, though, since they designed this car in such a way that you have to wait until it falls apart before you would know something is wrong. Then I took pity on it and completely cleaned it out. I also rearranged things inside in the back and in the trunk to make room for the new screen house my sister gave us. The screen house will definitely be put to good use especially when we get to our winter quarters in Florida. Thanks again sis!
Next I turned my attention to Graybeard. Checked everything under the hood and found all in order. Removed the tire covers. Put away all the little odds and ends we put out when we set up. Dumped and rinsed the tanks. Lubricated the tow bar and fittings. Checked the batteries and sprayed all the terminals with anti corrosive spray. All in all, we are in good shape for tomorrow.
Back inside I decided, let me check on the Walmart where we are supposed to stay tomorrow night. Well, how about that they no longer allow overnight parking! Ok, plan B which was, well I didn’t quite have one yet. What’s in the area? Hey, right up there in Clayton, NY is the Antique Boat Museum. Could we? How many hours of a drive
is it from where we are? How many hours on Saturday to the RV park in Wolcott? Wow, it’s only about 3 hours for each leg! Since I really wanted to visit the museum here was our chance. Course correction, Antique Boat Museum here we come. Made even sweeter by the fact that there is a Harvest Host location we can stay at for the night that is just minutes from the museum. Can’t ask for anything better than that.
Well, I’m so far behind on blog postings with so much yet to share. Over the next week I hope to get caught up on all that we’ve done in this area of New York. I’m not complaining, though, because the time I would have spent on blogs was spent doing something so far much better, spending time with family. Visiting with my mom was priceless. My time with my sister and her husband just as priceless. What can I say about my sister, she is so special to me. I look forward to the visits we have and the time we get to talk on the phone. My life is so much richer because of her presence in my life. We’re leaving here with many wonderful memories. And we’re leaving here I’m sure a few pounds heavier for sure!
That’s it for now. Thanks again for joining us for the day. It was a great day for us, as always made special by the fact that we traveled along, side by side, singing our song. Hope your day was extra special in some way as well. In closing a thought for each of us to ponder:
As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries, let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for our evening prayers and eventually some shut-eye. Till tomorrow.
These are the voyages of Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans. Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before

Oh, we were at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton last year when we visited the St Lawrence River area. Beautiful area.
