    Grumpy and Grandma got a reaction from Avatab.... Steve in Weather Alert   
    Courtesy Jayco Owner's Forum:
    A couple purchased an old home in Northern New York State from two elderly sisters. 
    Winter was fast approaching and the wife was concerned about the house's lack of insulation. 
    "If they could live here all those years, so can we!" the husband confidently declared.

    One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and they woke up to find interior walls covered with frost.
    The husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm. After a rather brief conversation, he hung up.

    "For the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've gone to Florida for the winter."

    Some hoses, wire insulation and plastics are made with soy by products so they attract the rodents...

    The parking at the Meadows is limited to 15 min for shopping.  As to dropping mom off it's still a pretty good walk to the boat. You can't get any closer than the 4way intersection by 100/200-400 and 700.

    Grumpy and Grandma got a reaction from Katman1356...Jason in Dogs to be allowed at some WDW Resort Hotels + Fort Wilderness Cabins   
    If it's like most hotels/motels they only use certain rooms for pets, because of allergies.

    A little "Greecian Formula" under the hood would have helped.

    Nope, you need to bring your own. Too many would probably "find legs".

    Flyers on the bulletin boards requesting you to register your site at the Bike Barn if you were participating.  And you know how many actually do that..

    Things like this are just going to get worse. No matter where we are I see misspellings and grammatical mistakes on the news crawlers running on many local news stations.  
    The "Dumbing Down of America" at it's best.

    Power must really be a confusing mess. We got ours back at the "Tiny House" after about 6-8 hours just N of 192 on 27 and that crochety ex bus man got his back about 5 pm Mon in Kissimmee. Neither of us had any serious damage.

    They have also been asking CM to volunt"ear" to help with cleanup, along with sorting and packaging food, clothing and cleaning supplies at various charities around Orlando.
    The EPCOT parking lot was used as a staging area for utility crews as well.

    They just spent mucho dollars for a Wi-Fi system, re wired at least 4 loops recently, just changed 2100 to campsites, upgraded the pool snack bar and added the much needed sidewalk heading to the Marina.

    We got two power recliners at Macy's. They fit in a 65" space with about 4" in between. They delivered and put them in the FW.

    But this kind of repair (underground utilities and roadway) is one very big reason why their up keep and maintenance costs for the FORT are not cheaper than a resort.  Once you start digging these issues can multiply, you don't actually know what the problem really is until then.
