This morning we drove over to Donna, TX, about 20 miles west of us, to go to the DonWes Flea Market. We had two reasons for going; we wanted to get a bag of grapefruit, the DonWes fruit and vegetable stand had good grapefruit, and also we like a pizza place that is just down the street from the flea market. Somehow a big bag of Kettlecorn also found it way into my shopping bag while we were there. There were surprisingly few vendors and people at the flea market.
Our pizza was good. The place now has a lunch buffet. I think we will go for that the next time we are over there. A group of 9 construction workers came in while we were there. They all got the buffet. Two of the 9 weighed less than 200#. Three of them weighed over 300# and I bet one of them went over 400#. The place lost money on those guys.
As we drove the back way home we reminisced about our last trip to the flea market, last spring. We went because we wanted to get a bag of grapefruit and a bag of onions to take back to MO. It was raining. On the back way home we stopped for lunch at a Long John Silvers. We waded ankle deep water to get in and out of the restaurant. As we drove by the site all that is left is the LJS sign. Its just a bare dirt lot.

Back home Kathy cut my hair and then went over to the clubhouse to work on a puzzle. I pulled the slides in, moved the coach so that the front wheels were on thicker blocks (so that it was more level without the jacks) and played with the jacks some more. The drivers side rear jack is definitely leaking. I'm still hoping that the two quarts of ATF w/stopleak that I added will seal the leak. I tried working the levelling controls manually and may have gotten the front jack to stay down. It had been retracting on its own. Tomorrow I will go get another couple of quarts of ATF w/stopleak fluid to keep the hydraulic reservoir topped off.
In the late afternoon I got in a 5 mile bicycle ride around the campground. It was nice enough that we sat outside as it got dark.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
