John came in this morning and took care of any needs the campers might have had. He actually came in to move some things out of the "barn" and haul our load of wood down there so that it was inside in case of rain.
It was warm again today, 82, and quite humid. The high is supposed to be 80 again tomorrow.
I changed sewer hoses, the old one had some leaks in it. I also worked on the sewer pipes and drainage. The sewer inlet is just to high, or the RV parking area is to low.
There is virtually no fall in the sewer line so after about the first 15 gallons of sewage it fills up, unless you only open the valves part way. There is really no fix other than raising the RV parking area, or using one of the sewage grinder/pumps. I don't think it would be a problem raising the RV pad about 12", there is plenty of fill material readily available, on site. John just can't seem to get his hear around the fact that what he thought should work won't. I thought about cutting some large chunks of wood today and blocking the motor home up another 2-4". Since I only plan on being here another week it didn't seem to be worth the effort.
There are two families staying here over the weekend. John said they are people his wife knows from work, at Texas A&M. There are at least 5 boys running around, none older than 10. All of them except the oldest one seem to be having a great time. So far this morning they have managed to find a small copperhead snake (I've been here 5 weeks and have not seen a snake) and one of them managed to get stung by a wasp. They stopped by and knocked on the door of the motor home to see if "Mr. John" was here. They wanted to know if there was something they could do to earn some money. I will give them credit for initiative.
Other than working on the sewer, adding water to the "house" batteries, and some "domestic" chores I haven't done much today. I did manage a nice hour long nap.
Tomorrow is church in the morning and then off to Bryan to buy some groceries.
Have a good evening. May God bless you and yours.
