The Ford dealer told me we needed new front brake pads very soon. They wanted $315. I checked around yesterday afternoon. I found a local brake and alignment shop that was highly rated on Google. They told me to bring it over this morning and that it probably didn't need brakes. They pulled off the front wheels, actually took a photo of the remaining pads and told me we probably have another year before we will need new pads. They reinstalled the valance for me. Total charge $70. $40 for checking the brakes and $30 to reinstall the valance.
The campground provided a free lunch for all the people who were also here last year. There were about 125 in attendance. The meal consisted of brisket, a baked potato, broccoli, a roll and a cupcake for dessert. The BBQ sauce on the brisket was a little to sweet for me, but everything was good. They gave away scads of door prizes. We won two Encore Lakewood hats. We missed out on the "good" prizes. A Keurig coffee maker, several gift certificates for a local steakhouse, a 32" TV and lots more.
In the afternoon Kathy worked on quilts for awhile and then spent time sitting outside enjoying the 75 degree temperatures. I went to Planet Fitness and did 40 minutes on the treadmill and 60 minutes on the resistance machines. Back at the campground I rode my bike around for 30 minutes looking for new RV's. And I'm still in pitiful shape. I can't seem to get back to where I was before the radiation and hormone treatment.
We didn't learn that the Starship blew up until late yesterday. The news showed photos of the debris streaming back into the atmosphere but that was a long way from here.
After a light supper we watched a movie. I ready for a shower and bed.
God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
