    Wow, that really IS nice!

    Leash law/rules are for everyone

    Session #2. Higher water level. 6 minutes @ 1 km/h (about .5 mph) He did much better today. He's probably starting to remember his therapy secessions from 3 months ago. That was back in the day when he had his "people", lol. He loved the attention. :)

    Leash law/rules are for everyone

    @RKins, I should have mentioned, the treadmill design has a 2" valve in the bottom where a large input/exit water line is to be attached. In a commercial setting, the operator would turn on the water source and the water would rapidly fill the tub from the bottom. After the treatment, the...

    Leash law/rules are for everyone

    So first I should say that people who buy these things are generally not setting them up on their back porch like I did. But we're not in the vet business, so that's where this one sits. The door is on one end, so you open it, bring the dog in, and then you fill it with water. From an...

    Leash law/rules are for everyone

    Got the legs on and a few miscellaneous other things completed. Had to brute lift that thing to get the legs on, thought it was gonna kill me! Anyhow, did a dry run to make sure I understood the proper settings, and then put water in to just above Ryker's hocks. This is well below where it...

    Leash law/rules are for everyone

    We have about 6 more weeks of rehab before Ryker can do some outside, off leash exercise. Since we left Silver Springs, Ryker hasn't gotten his 3-times a week treadmill therapy. And we've noticed a difference too. So last month, we did some shopping and came up with this awesome, water...

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    Rules for running an RV Park Rule #1 - Dogs must be leashed and under control at all times. What we said: “Hey John, I couldn’t help noticing Fluffy running around the campground! Can you keep him on a leash please? It’s for his protection as much as for the other dogs.” What John heard: “I...

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    No Rich, that isn't going to happen. It would be more likely that we turn the park into a members only park, but I don't have enough repeat visitors yet to make that a reality. But more and more of our guests are repeat visitors, so maybe, someday. . . But just so you know, and regardless of...

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    Signs go unnoticed and mostly ignored in the park. And "supervised" is a subjective term that is interpreted differently depending on the age of the person. Believe me, I've tried very hard. There isn't a lot of places to ride a bicycle here in the park, but depending on the type of bike...

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    You nailed it! We welcomed children for the first 2 years, but we got tired of herding unsupervised kids. Mom & dad park the rig, pop open a beer, and let um go! I wish it wasn't that way because it really cuts down on our visitors, and volume is what (normally) keeps a park alive. But there...

    If you have a pre-2011 DP in Ca you may be getting one of these:

    Well dang, with all the tents popping up out there, I just assumed CA was RV/Camping friendly. ;)

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    Perhaps, but on the outside chance you're wrong, I did no harm either. As I said, it's not easy running a campground. Glad I'm a big enough man to do it.

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    Actually, I found a place for them at a friends place not far up the road. I would have moved my problem guest over as well, but there was no more room for them and no way to move the rented trailer. But that would have been the ideal solution.

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    Well, it’s been a learning curve, that’s for sure. It goes without saying that the father screwed up in a big way, but there are a lot of moving parts to this mess. A family vacation ruined. A guest with a large outlay of money to rent an RV, as well as to rent space at our park. And moving...

    So you think it's easy owning an RV Park ???

    In today's session of “You think it’s easy running an RV park?”, I present my latest quandary. A very nice couple contacted me before booking and asked if their son and his wife could rent a site next to them if they booked at my park. The only issue was that their son had a 9-month-old...

    Question 2024 Dutchstar fuel economy

    Well, those numbers are so good that I'm cautiously going to recommend that you get it calibrated. Unless you were going downhill all the way. . . :)

    The Trip Home

    Goodness, what a trip. Sure doesn't look like the multi colored pics in the advertisement, does it? For what it's worth, my last 4.5 month trip from NC to FL and back, wasn't much better. But what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?

    Heads up, parents and grandparents

    Absolutely! Someday she won't be there and you'll wish you could spend the day walking with her.
