We picked up our RV the next day. The weather here in Cleveland has been record setting warm. It has been in the 70oF for the past 5 days.<\/p>\n

The first big job was to rid ourselves of the huge Yellow Jacket nest that was built behind our refrigerator. The bees found the top vent and for the past several months built a nest that was 2\u2019 x 2\u2019 x 4\u201d thick, there were thousands of them.<\/p>\n

Luckily Carl Homberg, where we store the RV over the summer, warned us, I\u00a0went out there one cold night and sprayed the nest with Raid. This seems to have killed them all. We used a shop vac. to dispose of the nest and dead bees.<\/p>\n

All our packing is done, the RV is checked out, my bikes and canoe are loaded. But this weekend we need to go west of Chicago for a family wedding. Peggy\u2019s niece Kim is getting married and we need to wish them well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
