Spring fever to travel

 The sun is shining and the grass is growing yard work is going to be a constant fight and here i sit checking the weather for next week in the Smokeys.I love the mountains in any season!The spring  and fall is my favorite cool nites and warm days perfect time to let the roof down and cruise the mountains.
      My wife is between jobs right now so i want to go before i drive her nuts and back to work.Its only 320 miles trip to the Smokeys so for a weeks stay we wont have to waste a full day in getting there.So this week i have to get 2 weeks worth of BBQ supplies,cut the yard and trim it out, do a brake job on 2 cars.The only thing i don't have to worry with is the camper it stays packed and ready to go.

Cheap chilie,bills paid

    Well now that we are back from our trip a cold front moved in.It never fails when we get home for the next week to be cold rainy or windy.This week its all 3.So tonite i made cheap chilie just 1 lb hamburger 2 cans diced tomatoes and 2 cans bush chilie majic.Makes a pot that feeds 4 large folks with some left over for hotdogs tommorow.
     Now i know i could have made it cheaper vegitarian style but i didnt want to hear the kids winning today[after all their only 21!!!] its been full day.I always pick 1 day a week for running around and today was it.4 stores, the water bill got paid, a stop at the bank and my brother in laws to pickup some cash he owed me.He likes my failed beer distilate as do his friends :}.I guess it wasnt to bad a day.All the bills are now payed and have 100 left to squirel away.Its trip money or for the new teardrop build.Me and the wife are still talking about what we want to build she wants a potty I just need a bush.
