Days 64, 65 & 66 - Friday, January 31, Saturday, February 1 & Sunday, February 2 - More Slow Days

 The weather has been beautiful and we have been enjoying it, but not doing much.

I've been slowly continuing my washing and waxing of the coach. I've finished the drivers side. All I have left in the kitchen slide on the passenger side and the basement doors below it.

We still need to get the dash AC fixed before we head back north in late March, and resolve issues with our old Sleep Number mattress. The difficulty involved in finding an RV repair facility amazes me, at least one that does chassis type work (the AC).

Our Sleep Number mattress is original, a tag on it says it was manufactured in November 2007. It is an RV King, 72"x80". Both chambers of the mattress have developed slow leaks over the past few months. Also, the dual side controller doesn't work right with Kathy's side of the bed. I called Steve's RV last week and left a message. (Steve replaced our rear AC/heat pump unit two years ago.) He called me back this morning to see if he could come look at the mattress today. I told him that we were ready to leave for church but would be back by 2PM if he wanted to come then, he did. This is what it looks like after deflating the mattress and getting it out  of the way, removing the plywood base under the mattress and then removing a section of plywood that covers the bed's air compressor control system, the beige box in front of Steve. After putting everything back together I had a heck of a time getting the mattress pumped back up so that it was sleepable. I probably spent 45 minutes before I got Kathy's side aired back up. 

Sleep Number no longer makes an RV King size mattress (our 72x80). In fact they no longer make any  mattresses for RV's. I spent several hours online last week before finding a company that makes a mattress similar to ours. Tomorrow Steve is going to call them and our Service Contract people to see what he can get going.

Yesterday morning I went up to the Cowboy Church for a health screening. Texas Mobile Imaging sets up at the church once a year and checks multiple potential health issues. We both participated two years ago. Last year neither of us did. Kathy's doctor didn't think it was of much value so she didn't do it again this year. My doctor was somewhat interested in the results so I participated again this year. It only cost's $135. 

Yesterday evening the clubhouse entertainer was a Kenny Rogers impersonator, impersonator is probably to strong a work. I stayed home but Kathy worked at the concession stand. It was a free will offering, open to the public, with the money going into the fund to help area families at Christmas. They made over $1,000. I was tired from my time washing and waxing, I stayed home.

Church was different this morning. Chris, our Pastor, is attending a multi day Cowboy Church Pastor's get together up on the other side of San Antonio. Tracy, his wife gave the message. She did a great job. A couple of years ago she filled in for Chris a couple of times at a Bible Study class we attended.  She also did a great job then.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
