Saturday:
We stayed around the coach today and did some catch up housekeeping, laundry, etc. Weather was beautiful, but a little warm, low 80's during the afternoon.
We went down the road to the Cozy Inn for lunch. Both of us got the whitefish baskets. The fish was good, but not great.
The campground has cable but I've not been able to get our "smart" TV to connect to the cable channels. (The TV is smarter than me. đŸ˜€). I saw our neighbors our enjoying the beautiful weather and asked them if they were hooked up to cable. They weren't but the guy was better versed than I am in the ins and outs of smart TV's and offered to help. As he started over a neighbor from across the street had overheard us and came over. He asked is we had an antenna booster. I said yes. He said if the booster is on it scrambles the cable signal. We turned off the booster and after a channel search we had 148 channels available. Later I tried to get the non smart TV in the bedroom working. So far no success. Maybe I need to go across the road and ask Rich for more help. We are supposed to have an outside TV also but haven't even opened the bay door to check it out.
Rich, the guy who helped with the TV, and his wife have been full time RV'ers for 7 years. Rich retired when he reached 59 1/2, shortly after his wife had both a heart attack and a stroke. After that they decided to retire as soon as possible and hit the road. They haven't looked back. They plan on staying full timers for the foreseeable future. Kathy baked zucchini bread and I took them over a loaf.
While we were sitting outside a guy stopped and asked how we liked our main awning. He just bought a new coach and is trying to determine what he wants for awnings. He has been full timing for a year and a half.
Sunday:
Weather was great again. Still a little warm during the day, low 80's.
We had looked for a church last week but didn't see any that we thought we would enjoy attending so we stayed home last week and today.
Many (most?) people with RV's have problems with the level indicators on the holding tanks. We had problems with the sensors on our Dutch Star Class A, our Zinger travel trailer and now the ones on our Allegro Bus don't work properly. Adding Calgon to the holding tanks is one of the things that a lot of people recommend. I tried to buy some when we went to Meijer's Friday, but they didn't have any. This morning I went to the Walmart in Sault Ste Marie and searched for it. Eventually, after enlisting the assistance of a Walmart employee, we managed to find it there. I suspect that it will take weeks/months of use before the holding tank walls are "de-scaled" enough for the sensors to start working again, if they ever do.
I picked up another pizza from Superior, a restaurant down the road a few miles, for supper. It was as good as the one we got there last week.
I've been hoping to catch the people who own this rig while they were outside, so that I can talk to them. The tractor has an Ontario plate. It looks like one we saw at Rainbow Plantation in Summerdale, AL when we were down there last January.
Kathy looked at the weather for the morning and rain is forecast. She suggested that we get the car hooked up, which we did. We still have to disconnect the water, sewer & electrical but the car is now hooked to the coach and ready for us to head to Marquette, MI in the morning.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
