Good Morning FOOFs
I was finally able to get the oil changed in the motorhome last weekend. Boy, I am getting too old for this stuff. Getting the oil into the engine is harder than draining it. They sure don't give you much room under the hood to get to the oil fill. If it wasn't so expensive to get an oil change (places around here want $250), I would have someone else do it. I can do it myself with synthetic oil for around $50.
The wife and I are taking a weekend trip in the motorhome. We are trying out a new RV resort called "Resort at Canopy Oaks". It about an hour and a half drive from here (a little east of Lake Wales Florida). It's only been open a couple of years and looks really nice. They have a big Tiki bar on an island on a big lake. They also have a Pizza and Sanwidth place, a hair and nail salon, a spa, a big workout room, an arts and crafts area, a business center, a big pool and clubhouse, and a country store. All onsite. I don't even think we are going to take the Jeep this trip. They also have golf cart rentals so we rented a cart for the weekend.
ZuZu has only gone on two motorhome trips and we haven't taken a trip in about 2 months. I got the motorhome out of storage last night and parked it in our driveway. I wanted to dust and clean the floors so I took ZuZu out to the motorhome with me. My wife came out to put some stuff in the fridge. When either of us would leave the motorhome, ZuZu would start crying. She was having some separation anxiety. I am hoping that she gets over that as I don't want to leave her in the motorhome if she is barking or crying. Maybe it was because I didn't have the other dogs in the RV with her. The last trip we took, we ran out for lunch and she was barking when we closed the motorhome door. I went back inside and told her to be quiet and she did finally quit barking. We hung around outside for a few minutes to make sure she didn't bark and when we got back to the RV a few hours later, she was passed out asleep. Hopefully she will learn after a few more trips. She is a very smart dog.
I hope everyone is doing well. Does anyone have any good trips coming up this summer? We are going to Mississippi for a week later this month. There is a new resort in Biloxi right on Biloxi bay. We like staying on the water and the wife can get her gambling fix at the casinos while we are there.
