Been quite a while since I have posted but not a lot has been going on. Have been waiting for the weather to change and finally this week it is warming up. 70 degrees today but we have had a lot of rain. Next week is suppose to be near 80 but some possible severe weather with rain mostly all week.
Just recently I have updated our RV with a tankless/water heater. It was an interesting project to get completed with having to alter some plumbing and gas piping to make things more user friendly for connecting. Nice thing about it is there is no more tank cleaning to take care of and it ends the often sour smell water odor. Should be a lot more efficient on propane as the burner only runs when you turn the hot water on. Another nice item is once you get your water temp set you don't need to mess with it any more as the water temp is constant.
So now that the weather is getting better I have been playing with my metal detector and having some pretty good luck. In the last week I have found almost $8 in change at the local ball park. Below are a couple of pictures. It is fun spending a couple of hours looking for treasures as you never know what you will find. A lot of people look at me and laugh thinking I am crazy but once I find that first valuable coin or jewelry the laughing will subside! :) Have also been practicing gold panning as that is something I have always wanted to do when we are traveling . I am getting pretty good at it and have practicing in a little creek across the tracks. Actually there is the possibility of Gold in most of the streams in Ohio that the glaciers came thru. Actually I believe there were 3 glaciers that came thru this area. Anyway the glaciers carried gold down from Canada and deposited it all over Ohio. There are 3 claims in Ohio for gold prospecting that have produced. Now that I belong to the Gold Prospectors Association I can go to these claims at no charge.
Next month we will be going to Elkhart Indiana for an annual RV rally we have attended for the last 4 years. Some friends of ours put it on and it will be good to see them again. Terry and Dale are also fulltimers and are due back in the area in April. Our other friends Smokey and Pam will be there and will be spending the summer in Elkhart area vending some products.
Work is busy and life is short so I got things to go do! See ya next time!
