Cold in Paradise


Well, it's warmer now - but it got cold here in Gulf State Park.  19* F Tuesday morning & 23* F Wednesday morning.  It's OK, though.  About 60* F now.

We got the truck back from repairs,again.  This time, only charge was for the oil change.  So for the last two services we're averaging $5k per service.  I wonder if Ford really intended their trucks to be so unaffordable to maintain?  We're still have to drive it a while, let it clean the exhaust filter and see if the exhaust leak truly got repaired.

As in all the times we've been here before, eating out gets high billing.  This week we got in Mikees, Tin Roof, and Ya Ya's.  Rest of the time we stayed inside staying warm.  Donna did get in a ride with her gang - the infamous "Folks on Spokes" gang, today.  Oh, and our MagicBands from WDW arrived today, too.  So I guess we are going to Disney World.

Other deliveries included a wash/wax mix (new to us) that we can use on the trailer, and our new skylight cover also made it in.  The old cover was getting pretty cracked from weathering, and I couldn't get it to stop leaking.   Hopefully, we get that new cover on tomorrow.  (Note to self:  on the next custom-ordered trailer - no stinking skylight!)

So that's it for us. Just normal life stuff.  Glad we're retired.  Wouldn't know when we'd get all this stuff done, otherwise.

Later, David
