The overnight low was in the mid 50's. Today's high was a mostly sunny 79. It has been WINDY all day, with average wind speeds over 20 mph and gusts over 30 mph. We are amazed at how much the palm trees can sway with breaking off.
We didn't leave the campground today. Kathy hung around the coach and did some cleaning and reading. It was nice enough that we could set outside, at the back corner of the coach to get out of the worst of the wind.
After breakfast (just oatmeal and a grapefruit this morning Chuck, no breakfast of champions) I went to the fitness center for awhile. When I got back I called the RV repair guy who came out on the 7th. I left him a message saying that since he had not answered my two previous calls I assumed he was not interested in repairing our AC unit. After a little more online research I called another guy and he came out around 1:30. He also said that the unit needs to be replaced. He went to his truck, made a few calls and gave me a price. He said he could have the unit here in 2-3 days. I told him to go. The first guy said it would probably take 6 weeks to 6 months to get a unit.
It was hot enough today to justify afternoon siesta's.
Had a short conversation with a guy walking by. Before retirement he was a crane operator. I asked where he lived and he said either in the cab of the crane or the truck that moved it around. He was an interesting guy. I hope to see him again. He mentioned the lack of people who want to work, even with the high wages being paid today. He said his son was a crane operator and so was his grandson. His grandson has been operating for two years. Last year he made $104,000. The guy said, "That's more than I ever made in my life."
All the news about devices overflying the US is interesting. Our government lets a Chinese "balloon," carrying a payload the size of a regional jet, collect and transmit data while overflying the US. Its a good thing these "balloons" weren't carrying EMP nukes. Not only is our southern border a sieve (On Feb 9th the WSJ said that according to federal data in 2022 around one million people who had illegally crossed the border were turned loose into the US) now it appears that our airspace is not very secure. This is on top of a guy with a hunting rifle being able to knock out power for 45,000 people in South Carolina.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
