September/October the Quiet Months

Well, not much to post for September, just working on cleaning out the garden and catching up on yard work. Actually I gave up on the flower bed and just used the weed trimmer on it last week, can't keep it up like I should. Cleaned up the asparagus bed-with the weed trimmer, too.  
Towards the end of the month it was time to start getting ready for the trip, which meant getting rid of the horse trailer. It worked just fine, but wanted to go lighter. And since we are going the California route this year, we would need a camper with 'facilities'. So, first off, empty, clean and sell the horse trailer. Didn't take long on craigslist. Put it up in the afternoon, got a call that they would be here in the morning. They came, gave us the money, returned in the afternoon and picked it up. Hey, that was nice. Then we decided to go pickup camper shopping, after scanning craigslist for couple weeks. Either they were too heavy, or no bathroom, or too old (gotta upgrade, not get older stuff). So, we went to Superior, then Kerrick, where we found a new one that would do. Price wasn't too bad, except they were going to give us next to nothing for our pop-up camper we have now. So, back home, fix up, cleanup and put the Northstar popup camper for sale. Saturday afternoon, put it on craigslist, got a call that evening, they wanted to come Sunday a.m.. I told them we go to church, could they come later. Nope, they would come early so we could still go to church, and they did.  Bought it, loaded it up, pretty fast. So, Monday we called the dealer said we'd take the 2011 Travel Lite Camper model 800x that was on closeout. The X stands for the bed running lengthwise, instead of side to side.  It's an 8' model, only weighs 200 pounds more than our popup camper did. Here's a few pics:

The inside:

Dining Room/Living Room/Bedroom

Dining Room-like the crazy print?

4.0 cu ft 3-way fridge



The Bathroom-no wasted space, barely enough actually.

Well, that's about it. Caught up to date. Still working on getting the yard ready for winter, sheds and get all the veggies taken care of. Potatoes are dug, but still have a squash use up. Made two pies today from two of the winter squash I got from Lucille, Impossible pie. Will try to post again before January, would be easier to keep up without doing it a few months at a time. ttfn
