Wet Week in the North Woods

Let's see...lots a rain, lots a ticks, lots a mosquitoes...yep, that covers this week.

We're beginning to get into a routine though training still continues.  This week they got in boat training for the Voyageur's crew & Rainy Lake interpretative rangers.  Oh, and there's that CPR/first aid training many of us had to have, too.   But we've never seen it rain up here like it has over this past week.  Oh, a couple of days of dry weather were sandwiched in there, but they passed by in a hurry.  Locals tell us this is the worst the mosquitoes have ever been.  Not surprising given the wet winter and the rain they've had since we've arrived.  Lots of standing water in the woods - good for breeding mosquitoes.

Our neighbors daughter arrived for a visit.  Unfortunately for them, one of their two air conditioners failed a day or so later.  Surprising to me, there are techs up here who do work on RVs, so Randy & Shirley are just trying to decide whether to go ahead and get a new air conditioner now, or wait until they get back to Florida to have it replaced.  I'd do it now, but it's their call.

So that's our week.  We'll keep fighting the bugs.  David
