Cabin Fever!

Now the the current run of unseasonably warm weather is drawing to a close, I guess it's a little late to issue a Cabin Fever Alert. My excuse is simple, I have been suffering from the above mentioned ailment. First of all, after almost 10 months of aggravation from the broken leg, the doctor has declared me healed. Hallelujah! As a result of that, the abbreviated camping season last year, the recent acquisition of a Buick Rainier to use as a tow vehicle for our small pup-up camper, and the need to prepare said vehicle for towing, we have been taking advantage of the warm weather to begin preparing for this summer. I am happy to report the both Buick and Fleetwood Cobalt camper are now ready. Indeed, the rig was taken to the Dutchway parking lot (the most level area around) to adjust the hitch and check the brakes. All went well! Now the Cabin Fever has really set in. We are soooo ready for spring and the first camping trips! Hopefully, a blast of cold arctic air will bring us back to our senses!
Speaking of which, right now the potential exists for some colder air and maybe even some snow to come to the area late in the weekend or early next week, but I'm not holding my breath. The forecast models have been wrong more then right about cold air this winter so far. The theory of persistence teaches us to expect the current trends to continue and give way to colder air only grudgingly. We'll see!
