It was cold last night! Temperature was 7C (44F) on the bedside thermometer when we awoke. Had to put the furnace on again!

Back in Watertown
Tuesday April 29
A very quiet night at the Lowville Walmart. A little chilly though. We even put the furnace on this morning when we got up. And then we sat and had our coffee

Herkimer, NY
Sunday April 27
We drove down to Herkimer, NY today. We took the route through the back roads, so it took us about 2 hours and 10 minutes to get there, even though it was only about 90 miles. Had to buy some more gas though, and it is up to $3.76 US a gallon. Still, this equates to about $1.03 CAN per litre, so in perspective, it’s not that bad. I guess.

Watertown (day 8)
Saturday April 26…10:00pm
Another lazy day. We took Whiskey for a walk down by the Black River here in Watertown. It’s still pretty high from the spring runoff. The temperature was warm again this morning, and I ended up putting my shorts on when we got back to Sherman.

Watertown (day 7)
Friday April 25…10:30pm
I said yesterday that I thought the heat wave was over….wrong! We sat out at the baseball games this afternoon and it was hot and sunny again. The long term forecast calls for cold and wet next week, but we know they are never right on these things! Either way, we’ll enjoy it while we can.

Took Whiskey for a walk up in the park this morning. Another nice sunny day, but I think the heat wave is over…temperature about 20C (68F) and it`s getting chilly at night again.

Watertown (day 5)
Wednesday April 23…10:30pm
Puttered around Sherman this morning. I had bought some different polish and wax to try on different areas of the finish. It’s such a huge vehicle to polish though, so I’m only going to do a small section at a time. But if I do a little bit every day, it’ll slowly all get done.

Alex's birthday
Tuesday April 22…11:30pm
Alex’s 20th birthday today, so we did some shopping this morning. Got him a digital camera. He had borrowed one from a friend for his Florida trip, so we figured he would like one, and we knew it was something he wouldn’t buy on his own.

Watertown (day 3)
Monday April 21…11:30pm
A very restful day today. We took Whiskey for a long walk at Thompson park, which is just around the corner from Alex’s house. They have a zoo there, and a swimming pool and a park for kids, and lots of walking and cycling paths. And, it was yet another beautiful day.

Sunday April 20…11:30pm
My Mom and Dad came down to Watertown to visit for the day and watch Alex and his team play. Alex ended up not playing the first game, which they lost 7-1. Alex did play the second game, he had two singles and an RBI and they won 6-4.

Baseball in Watertown
Saturday April 19…11:30pm
We’re looking for a dump station to empty Sherman’s holding tanks at some point over the next week or so. Problem is that 95% of the state parks don’t open until mid-May, and the RV parks usually want to charge a ridiculous amount to

What a great spot we had camped out at the base of the ski hill. Nice and quiet. Forgot to take a picture though.

Playing in the snow
Thursday April 17…9:20pm
Yes, we played in the snow this evening. We’re parked at the base of the Cazenovia Ski Hill, and when we hiked up to the top, there were still some patches of snow on the hill. But it was a totally beautiful day…in fact you couldn’t ask for much better.

It was COLD last night. I put our remote thermometer on the outside step overnight, and it went down to -6C (20F). We were nice and toasty, but our electric heater was never shut off all night.
