Planes, Trains and Automobiles...

The last two days I've spent getting us settled in at our new site and doing some minor repairs around the house that I haven't had time to do before this. The park is in a great location...three miles from Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Lowes. How great is that ? It's great being on a concrete site....I can get under the rig to check things over. While working outside, some type of jet went over that was screaming as it streaked across the sky at lightening speed. We have several military personnel in rigs around us at the park, working at nearby bases. Mac is a newbie and is learning about the RV lifestyle. He asks us questions about systems on his rig and such, and we've given him web sites for discussion forums where he can get alot of useful information. He is in the Army and is taking some time off to use up vacation time and also get his taxes done. He's located right behind our rig.
Within a minute of the screaming jet going over, a train came chugging down the tracks...close to the campground. Close by but not obtrusive. We heard yesterday that another RV park in the area is situated so the train runs right through the campground and rattles the dishes in peoples RVs.That would be a little too close for comfort. This park often gets calls from their guests wanting to relocate here to get away from the train noise.
Weather is cool and dreary today. Temps in the 50's. Supposed to rain tonight. Got some flowers planted in my planters on the patio so it can rain all it wants..Tomorrow the temps are supposed to climb into the high 70's. April showers will bring May flowers.
