Tuesday… Just me, I would like to blame it on age.

 Picture if the day.


Nah, it wasn't even close to this cold. thank goodness!

Now for today’s Stuff:

Before our FREEZE here in central Florida, I disconnected our water. Water to an RV is mostly fed by a water hose. So I did the simple thing, I just took the hose loose and dropped it below the faucet until it warmed up.

I made the mistake of thinking, no pressure, no problem. But the hose on the ground froze and ruined about $20 of brass fittings. I have never allowed that to happen to me in cold country. I made an ASSumption. Most of my adult life I have known the true statement, when you ASSUME you make an ass of U and Me. Now I are paying a small price (could have been worse) for assuming.

WE have not been ‘hurt’ or even ‘put out’ much by it, because in the RV we are actually self sufficient. So I am licking my silly wounds and at least telling myself, “YOU at least LEARNED something.”


                    I did not know they have heated water hoses!

And of course I did, freezing is freezing and no matter where, it can cause problems if it is not ‘respected for its potentials’.

I hope you are not inconvenienced where you are. And yes as someone said, Spring is on it’s way, even if there is a delay.

Take care and stay warm..

Take care Jack in this freezing weather. Keep warm my friends. Praying for you all. It is cold here but no snow ... yet.

Oh my! Believe it or not, my daily devotional book for February 3 reads, in part: "Life's lessons come through failures, probably more than successes." It continues, "Laughter over our mistakes eases the risk of trying again. Laughter keeps us young and the lighthearted find more pleasure in each day."

The only way we learn Jack - well maybe not the only - but one way - is to make mistakes - or ask for help.

If I learn from all of my mistakes then I am a genius! It's sunny and 60 degrees today. Feels so dang nice.

I've heard the assume thing before! :)
No pipes frozen or bursting for us but others around here haven't been so lucky!
