Wednesday - Steve, from Steve's RV, was here at 9:00 and by 11:30 he and a helper had our new water heater installed, $375. I watched. There was nothing to sophisticated about the installation, but there is no way I could have crawled in and out of the "basement" as many times as he did, and contorted myself as required to make the water connections. They seemed to work very efficiently. He had all the plumbing parts he needed to make the connections.
PTL! It was so nice to be taking showers in our shower again. Nothing wrong with the campground showers, just nice not to have to walk 100 yards to go take a shower.
We then went grocery shopping at Walmart. It was about the least crowded we have seen. After we got back home I regened or water softener. Kathy did multiple loads of laundry.
Kathy spent a lot of time in the campground kitchen getting some type of chicken ready to serve chicken sandwiches before the Kenny Rogers wannabe came for entertainment. He has performed here once a year every year we have been here. He seems to do a good job, although I was never a huge Kenny Rogers fan. I think I heard that 85 people paid $10 to see him. Kathy and the ladies sold 65-70 chicken sandwich meals, so it was a good fund raiser for Christmas for the Children.
Thursday - In the morning I went to Walgreens and Sam's to pick up prescriptions. Kathy did another load of laundry and then spent some time doing odds and ends cleaning up in the campground kitchen. When I got back I worked on a puzzle. After she finished we both spent time working on the puzzle.
I went over before the 4 PM get together for "Meet and Greet" and reserved our spot for 5 months next year, Nov 15- Apr 15. At Meet and Greet we all got the "scoop" about Merrill & Maxine's truck issues. They bought a new Ford Powerstroke, and a 5th wheel RV, in 2017 and started full timing in 2018. They come here for the winter months but spend the rest of the year travelling. When they left last spring they headed for Utah for a family funeral and then planned on heading further north. They didn't make it further north. They had major motor work done three times before they got back here in December. The truck is now back in the shop to get another new motor installed. Maxine told us that the last garage put the wrong Loctite on some fasteners and the current garage said that mistake increased the cost of the current motor replacement by $2,000.
After Meet and Greet we both spent some more time working on the puzzle. We got the "easy" half done but I lose interest when the remainder is all the hard stuff. I went down to the Sweat Shop (the campground fitness room) and spent 50 minutes on the treadmill.
More people are rolling in than are rolling out. The campground isn't nearly at full occupancy but its as full as we have seen it. Thankfully we have one empty site on our left, and good neighbors beyond that, and multiple empty sites on our right. We also have an empty site in front of us so Kathy can keep a better eye on things 😄.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
