I've been back in Ontario for a few weeks and of course the weather has been less than desirable. I think the good weather was used up this past winter with unseasonable warmness - the water froze the other night out at Wildwood. Speaking of Wildwood we're now the proud owners of a new trailer. Yes, back to a 5th wheel.
Was not an easy job getting the old one out of there - the tongue was practically buried, the trailer sat very close to the deck and there was the danger of taking the deck along and of course it started to rain.

| Depressing but not for long |
The new one is longer and with slide outs definitely wider. The old one and deck were not positioned properly - you're supposed to be 2 feet from the water and power lines so it had to be moved up. Fortunately the park is not making us move the deck - yet. Warning - if I invite a bunch of you out for the afternoon it might be to move the deck - but I will feed you and there could be beer and/or rum involved.

| Pretty nice for an older trailer |

| Took a few tries but got her nice and close to the deck. |
 |
| Just enough room |

| Almost perfect, deck needs tweaking. |
There will be photos of the inside once I'm done fru fru'ing it up, (as Gerry likes to say).
Gerry has returned to the sunny south and it's been raining there for 3
days. I can't muster up any sympathy for him. He enjoys the hot sultry
weather there in May, I don't so he's on his own patiently waiting for
the mechanic to show up and fix both boats. Even more so than with
cars, a good boat mechanic is hard to find and worth the wait. I'm
really surprised that more boats aren't called "The Money Pit," Gerry
would be up to "The Money Pit XIV" in larger boats and if you counted
every boat of any size, shape and type it would be "The Money Pit
XXII." The smart people are those who don't own any boats, but have a
number of close friends that do.
