Beach camping is the best. Its only an hour to the beach for us.. I have no excuse for not going more often :)
Maybe someone should set up a beach campground take over. We could roll in fill it up with Rangers hahaha. Now that would be epic

Sadly, I hauled a bunch of stuff out to our little cabin on a nearby lake to do yardwork and spring cleaning in order to list our cabin for sale. I am crushed that we are selling it, but my wife doesn't like sleeping out there and because of that, we don't spend weekend out their anymore. These are older pics...

We met with a listing agent, she put a sign out front, and a couple walked up and said they are interested in buying it. I'm sad. :(

Somebody must have won a lottery lol......with the price of lumber these days.

I couldn't so I checked the local prices. And seems to be true, 30$ for each OSB and 16-25$ for the boards.

WTH has happened to this world since you need to sell two trees to get money for one plank. Someone is skimming from the middle.. I'll keep renting the field saw from neighboring farm and making my own boards.

I guess it's 1$ for the grower, 1$ for the feller, 1$ for the collector, 1$ for the transport, 2$ for the saw mill, 1$ for the transporter, 2$ for the whole sale, 1$ for the transporter, 2$ for the chain warehouse, 1$ for the transporter and finally 2$ for the store.. and half that for the government as taxes.

With everyone working from home they are using spare time to do 'projects'. Same for appliances, you can't find any. Our fridge died late last year, and we couldn't find one. Finally found one online in the size we need to fill a built in hole, and we asked if we could pay and have it delivered in a week. He said, nope. You pay and we ship. You don't pay someone else will buy it within the day.

Lucky we finished the framing on our 2nd home in 2019, else it would cost us many many more thousands for wood alone.

Went to agri shop, bought some food for the horsies and a hole (unloading valve) for flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC). Valve is for loading a planter from the FIBC multiple times as the planter only holds about 400kg seeds & another 400kg of fertilizers.

This was actually on Sunday, but the Ranger went on tour of the neighborhood after a storm came through Saturday night. A lot of trees came down and we were without power for around 14 hours.

The lovely wife and I had gone shopping the day before, so we took almost everything in our refrigerators to a neighbor's house that still had power.

We went back and got our goodies when our power came back on. Later that afternoon we picked up another curio cabinet from Craigslist about 20 minutes from our house. The seller loved my Ranger and said he had been at the dealership earlier that day looking at them. I told him a little about mine and urged him to go test drive one.

Edit: it has 992 miles on it now. :)

There's a great campground on the beach in Ft. Myers FL.
