Well, that's it. The camper is in hibernation until next year. A couple of weekends ago we towed it to Camping World about an hour away to have it winterized, and just yesterday we went and picked it up, and now it's back in storage, battery pulled, and resting. At least it was a nice day with no wind, and the sun was out. Hardly knew she was behind us for the short trip. When we got back we got a lick of work done too. We took the hitch off the truck and I will grease it up at some point. Plus we mulched more fallen leaves and got the yard and driveway all cleaned up. While we were out there, our almost 90 something neighbor, Mary, came out and asked if we could mulch her leaves for her. I was fine with that. She insisted on paying us and gave us $40 even though I insisted there was no need, but there's no arguing with an old woman.

You got lucky. We had thick fog yesterday morning that turned into spitting rain and drizzle after the fog started lifting. At least it's done until next spring.

Weather can be rather unpredictable in November, that's for sure. You don't always get good towing weather even in the spring or summer. But, I was glad it turned out well for this one anyway.

@porwest Sometimes I wish the garage here was wide enough for our car to fit inside. Our car is old and should be in out of the cold in the winter.

@DaddyEvil My wife's car would fit. My truck wouldn't come close. We just have a one-car garage, but it's tight. We just use it for storage.

$40 to mulch leaves is quite a bit.

I thought so too. Especially since I'd have done it for free.

I like the last bit 'no arguing with an old woman'. I might need to remind you of that in the future.
