March 7th - Nice Today

Thursday
It was cool and rainy yesterday. We went to Walmart, about 8 miles from here, and bought a few things. Some time ago we were unable to make the DVD player in our motorhome work. While at Walmart I picked up a new one. I also picked up a printer cartridge for the printer we keep in the motorhome. Kathy bought a few groceries. On the way home we had to stop at Big Daddy's for lunch again. My blackened fish was a little over done but she said her oysters were great.

We just lounged around in the afternoon. We did go to the 4 PM get together that occurs daily in the clubhouse. It is just a time to update everyone on area events. We found out that the local Tractor Supply had dropped their propane prices to $2.99/gallon, which is anywhere from $0.70-1.25 cheaper than the other places that fill tanks.

I did get the printer cartridge installed and got the printer working again. Also, when putzing with the DVD player I managed to get the old one working again. There are LOTS of buttons and settings since it displays on the TV but the should plays through the stereo system. I think the problem may have been the operator wasn't smart enough to run it.

Friday
This morning I managed 3 loops around the campground, 4.1 miles, in 60 minutes. My best time so far. Later we went to Camping World to get a fluorescent bulb, then to Walmart to take back the DVD player. On the way we drove through the Tractor Supply lot to check out access to their propane station. There is no way we can get our motorhome in there with the car attached but I think we can do it without the car. We still have over a half tank so we won't need propane before we leave here. We plan on stopping when we leave for TN. We can hook up the car in the Tractor Supply lot, after getting the tank filled.

I put two new bulbs in the fluorescent light and it still doesn't work. Apparently the ballast is bad. Lots of folks are changing over to LED's but they are EXPENSIVE. I'm not sure the power savings is worth the extra expense, if I can find a new ballast or a new fixture that matches the old one.

Kathy made me feel guilty so we stopped at Big Daddy's AGAIN, for lunch. (That makes 3 days in a row.) I had another of their half pound hamburgers and she had another shrimp basket.

This afternoon all we have done was walk over to the 4 PM get together at the clubhouse. (I guess I should say its all I have done. She washes a load of clothes almost every day.) Actually we did stop by the office and extended our reservation. We are now paid up through the night of Sunday, March 16th. Monday, the 17th, we will head for Tennessee.

Tomorrow morning, Saturday, they are having French Toast, Bacon, Sausage, Coffee & Juice at the clubhouse, $3.50/person, so I will get over their to eat. We heard about a Farmer's Market that we are going to try and find after breakfast.  I'm not sure what we will do the rest of Saturday. It is Spring Break and we have been warned that the beach area is an absolute zoo during this time. Highs are supposed to be in the 70's for the next 4 days so we need to get out and enjoy it.

May God bless you and yours.
