Checking In from F'burg

...no longer closed

Just checking in from Fredericksburg.  Nothing really new to report. We're fine though either a bug or some bad food got to me.  Either that or I forgot I had a colonoscopy planned.

Donna still volunteering at the hospital and visiting friends (girl-time, I'm told).  Knitting seems to be going strong, too.  I think some new mittens are about done.

We got the truck and trailer detailed by Central Virginia Mobile Detailing over a couple of days this week.  Both clean and each got a new, slick coat of wax.  Boy, does the water bead up now. (Note that our ability to always plan to have our vehicles detailed in Fredericksburg by Central VA Mobile Detailing only to have it rain no matter what the weather channel prediction is, continues.  It's now about a decade long run.  Even the owner commented about how it always seems to rain when he cleans our vehicles.)  We're pleased with the results to say the least.

Our new, not-suppose-to-be-used-on 5th-wheel-trailers bicycle rack worked flawlessly.  Donna noted that even she can get the bicycles on & off the bike rack by herself.   And, without even trying, we actually positioned our roof-top satellite antenna in a slightly better spot on the campsite when we returned so that now we can get a few stations in HD.    But most surprising is that we got up before dawn, hitched in the dark (not recommended), took the trailer over to be detailed, and returned by early afternoon.  By the time we're set back up, it feels like we never left - sort of our theme for this year's visit to Fredericksburg.

New for the Fredericksburg/Washington DC South KOA is the upgraded, pull-thru site.  Apparently, to meet a new definition for an "upscale" KOA, they have to have at least one large pull-thru with paved area, gas BBQ grill, upgraded outdoor furniture (vice the standard wooden picnic table), etc.  It's not done, yet.  But when the chosen site became empty, down came the trees, excavation started, and today they started laying the brick pavers.  Be a nice site when it's done.

So that's it from here.  I know.  We're boring.  Later, David
