Here in New York restaurants are still closed down
we are hoping to travel at some point this summer but we are no rush to get somewhere where everything is closed. Our restaurants are just starting to open and they're packed with people. We're trying to use our best judgment in avoiding large crowds but still trying to enjoy ourselves.
We go on hikes but we pick places that are not popular heights. We live a little over 1 hour from the George Washington bridge so we get a lot of folks from the city in this area who won who enjoy the hiking also. We've done a pretty good job avoiding crowds on the trails. We've also taken our kayak and thrown it in local Marsh and reservoir without issue.

Now if you remember or towards the middle to latter part of our last trip to the southeast I was complaining of back pain and I thought it was from sitting too much and the bad couch and it turns out I have two bulged discs. When we returned home we started cutting a lot of firewood and my left elbow started hurting and it turns out I have tendonitis and fluid on the elbow.
so as it turns out being home during this. Is a good time to have everything addressed.
It's interesting us and probably the whole world is experiencing quite a lot of stress with the coronavirus. and at this time my website has its lowest number of visitors ever. I do know that people do not like to reach out for help with stress and stress Management. It's all very interesting , human nature that is. when we were returning home from our Southeast trip in March everything was beginning to shut down so I knew that I would be missing out on the opportunity of helping a lot of people at schools and clients in Hudson valley.

Been really busy working on the RV. I put in a divider curtain and and new shocks all the way around. a buddy of mine suggested new shocks when I was explaining to him how the wind affected the RV and the jarring pounding of the RV when we hit potholes I explained to him that are RV only has about 28,000 miles on it but he explained that it is 7 years old. he asked me if I was going to do the shocks myself and I said no I do not have a lift and he said that you don't need a lift for the shocks. I pulled up a video on YouTube and it's pretty straightforward so I bought for koni shocks which were a little bit more expensive but I figured if I'm going to do it let me do it right. So I swap them out man what a difference they make. So much smoother on bumps a lot less way going on and off of entrance and exits on highways. And a lot less jarring. I will post pictures of that soon also put a link in the show notes for it. However on spreaker I cannot put active hyperlinks in the show notes. but what I will do is I will put the link to my Facebook page with pictures be located and unfortunately you'll have to copy and paste them into a browser sorry about that. Perhaps I'll on my website relaxRV.Org I will put links to the photos on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/watch/Relax-RV-277623782811787/ ). I started using Instagram and I'm wondering if I should put photos on there or continue on my Facebook page. On Instagram my username is relax RV podcast (https://www.instagram.com/relaxrvpodcast/) ,

Me and Scott put into automatic switches the first switch controls generator and shore power if neither of them go on it'll kick over to the second switch which is the inverter. this way the inverter is isolated from the generator and shore power no more burning out inverters by plugging in or turning on the generator I've done it twice and I've done it for the last time LOL. Thanks Scott.

I put a new battery charger in the RV it was making odd noises and was charging the batteries intermittently the changeover was pretty straightforward and easy and everything seems to be working beautifully. Trish noticed was that when the slide was not going out when we were running it off of the coach batteries.But plugged it or turned on the inverter or ran the generator the slide worked beautifully. So now that I replaced the battery charger the slide works beautifully on coach batteries. Yay.

And finally
