Weather is back to being great. Last nights low was 53, today's high was a mostly sunny, only slightly breezy, 80.
We spent a fair amount of time sitting outside and enjoying the day. We did get some things accomplished during the morning. While Kathy did some cleaning I regened the water softener.
Around lunch time we went to Taco Palenque for lunch. I don't know what we ordered, it was a plate for two. There was plenty of food. Kathy thought it was good, I thought it was a little bland. The beef wasn't nearly as tasty as the roast she made for supper last night. There were plenty of condiments that are supposed to add flavor, but, for me, the only thing they did was make the food hotter, not tastier. It is possible that my taster is out of adjustment 😀.
After lunch we went across the street to Walmart where I bought a small sprayer and some bug killer. Two days ago I put an apple core on the table beside my lawn chair. The wind blew it off the table and onto the concrete slab. Maybe 15 minutes later I looked down and there must have been 100 small ants around it. Yesterday afternoon we both ate Klondike bars while sitting out. We wadded up the foil wrappers and put them on the table between our chairs. They blew off and within minutes they were covered with small ants. Once we were back home I mixed up a batch of spray and sprayed around the perimeter of the coach. I don't want them crawling into the coach, hopefully they haven't already done so.
After Walmart we went two blocks to H.E.B. for some grocery shopping. There is a Sam's within a few blocks of H.E.B. Lots of stores with a couple of miles of the campground. Costco is almost 30 miles from here. The closest Aldi's is over 200 miles away, much to Kathy's dismay.
Our "auto" insurance on the coach will soon be up for renewal. We were using the MT agent we had used for the coach we had 10 years ago. He was a broker and seemed like he always got us a reasonable deal. A few months ago we received a notice that he had sold his business to a company in Iowa. We received a policy renewal notice and Kathy called them. After a maddening several bouts of "punch this number" she finally got to an actual human being. She asked the lady to provide us with quotes from a couple of insurers. Some time later the lady called back and said our coaches VIN # is not valid. (When new the coach was first titled in FL. The 2nd owner also lived in FL and titled it there. Last year when our LLC bought it it was titled in MT, and insured with Safeco. I paid for a Carfax before we bought it and had no problems getting it. I've bought parts directly from Tiffin several times, using the VIN # and never had a problem, because of the VIN#.) We ended up taking photos of the title, the registration and the VIN plate on the dash, and emailing them to the lady. Kathy called her again Friday afternoon and was told that the lady didn't know what else to do, the VIN would not work in their system. We found the names of a couple of highly recommended RV insurers on some RV websites. Kathy will be calling them Monday.
When we bought the coach the last year of a Service Contract was transferred to us. We have USED it. I think that in the one year we have owned this coach the repairs have cost more than we spent on the other coach in the 6 years we owned it. The Service Contract has been a blessing because it covered the majority of the cost of the repairs. We aren't pleased with National RV Care so I've been shopping for another provider. I've been working with Wholesale Warranties to make sure I understand all the fine print in their contract. An inspector is supposed to contact us early next week to make arrangements to come inspect the coach prior to the contract being finalized.
We driving back to Victoria Palms to go to Cowboy Church tomorrow. We can't get enough of it.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
