We did some shopping today. Bought some miscellaneous electric stuff from Radio Shack, a new sewer hose from an RV place and stopped at an RV repair/maintenance place and talked to the guy about getting our oil and transmission fluid changed.
Then it was time for lunch at an Oriental buffet place that we frequented last year. The food was good but would have been better if they had turned up the heat on their steam table. After lunch we stopped at Winn-Dixie for some grocery shopping. Kathy said the grocery prices are really high, $4.39 for a gallon of milk. Fuel is less expensive
In the afternoon I repaired the switch that controls the movements of the drivers seat. It quit working right after we left Crossville. The power wire broke loose from the backside of switch mechanism. I "superglued" it back in place. it works now but we will see how long it lasts.
I brought our Dish Network receiver with us to see if we could get satellite TV while on the road. Our satellite dish, which we have never used, cost the original owner of our motorhome over $1,100. I couldn't get it to work so I went over to a local Dish installer place. They told me that our receiver is a high definition receiver and our 10 year old satellite can't handle high def. They were nice folks. We can buy an $80 receiver that should work with our satellite, we just won't have high definition. Our 10 year old TV is an analog TV, which can't take advantage of high definition, so that isn't a big issue. I think I will get one of the receivers the next time I go by the place and see if I can get it to work. Since we get all the major networks here it isn't a big deal but our experience has been that we are lucky to get 1 or 2 of the major networks at many places.
We walked over to the clubhouse for this afternoon's Social Hour. It is basically a notification time to let everyone know what is going on at the campground, and in the surrounding area. I asked about the place where I had inquired about the oil/transmission work and had several guys tell me they thought the guy did good work.
After getting back from the clubhouse (it is 0.18 miles over to the clubhouse) we decided to walk one of the small loops (a mile long) around the campground. While walking we saw a motorhome with Missouri plates. The guy was just hooking up his sewer hose and we stopped to chat. He is from the Branson. MO area. He is heading to Florida for the winter. He left Branson 10 days ago and has been wandering around, sightseeing, on his way this far.
It was almost dark when we got back to the motorhome but I took a photo of our lot anyway. I think I earlier said the lots were 40-50' wide, I think they are actually more like 50-60' wide. The post at the left of the photo marks our "lot line".
Time for supper. Good night to all. May God bless you and yours.
