Winter storage
Mike, this time you will find me parked in Destinations RV park unless something
changes; we sold out place on SPI and will either take BB or rent condo. I haven't negotiated this issue yet. Wallace & Faye Craig; Azle, Tx mbulriss <mbulriss@...> wrote:Ralph, WHEW, what a list. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about that stuff in San Antonio! 8^) I did most of that list the first year I had the Bird and then realized that it was a waste of time when you see *maybe* 24 hours (cumulative) of freezing weather all winter - another good reason why I no longer live in upstate NY! I have the Bird in a garage and just leave it plugged in, so it's always ready to go visit Wallace on SPI between Xmas and New Years.
