Nothing exciting to report. The high temperatures have been mostly sunny mid to upper 80's, unseasonably warm for this time of year. This time of year the normal temperatures are highs of 70 and lows of 53. Thursday was windy enough that we pulled in our big slide for the day. The wind was really rocking the coach.
Thursday my back felt back to 90% so I did 40 minutes of walking on the campground treadmill, no issues.
Meet & Greet was at 4PM at the clubhouse. Snacks and a time of fellowship, especially for new folks. One new couple came. They had just pulled in around noon. They are a just retired couple from Massachusetts and are relatively new RV'ers. They have a travel trailer. This is their first big trip. They seem nice.
Friday we went to a different Chinese place for lunch, they had a buffet. I like it Kathy not so much. Actually when I east at a Chinese buffet all they need is decent Egg Drop soup, fried rice and some type of breaded fish, to make me happy. Kathy likes a lot more variety. We had put the big slide back out Friday morning. When we pulled in to park behind the coach we saw that the Texas wind had finally started ripping the 17 year old slide topper. I got the ladder out and put some duct tape on the rip, but I doubt it will hold. Drew, our son who lives in Oakland, and I replaced the fabric in one of the slide toppers on our Dutch Star, in the spring of 2012. I'm no where near in good enough shape to replace this one. I will ask around the campground to see if someone can recommend someone to replace the fabric on all the toppers.
As I walked around the coach the two couples who have the tag axle Entegra's next to us were out. We visited and they went through a list of all the problems they were having since they left Delaware. (I saw a "new" Anthem model, with 756 miles on it, on sale for $570k, sticker was $815.) Makes the cost of maintaining our coach seem much more palatable. ($500k@5%/12=$2,083 monthly interest on loan)
Theirs are the two coaches on the left.
Friday my back felt back to at least 95% so in the afternoon I went to Planet Fitness. I now know it was the leg presses that caused my back problem. I had been doing 20 reps each at 160#, 180# & 200# on both the back extension and leg press devices, with no problems until a week or so ago. This time I was being careful and did 20 reps of back extension at 80# and 20 more at 100#, no problems. Later in the routine I did 20 leg presses at 120#, my back did not like that. I "paid for " those Friday evening.
God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
