Warmer


Yeah!  We're back above freezing.  Except for a day of rain every few days or so, the weather is good here.  However, time here (for this season) getting short as we plan to leave in a couple of weeks.  Donna still out riding with her bicycle gang - Folks on Spokes.  She's getting in about two long rides a week with them.  Donna's halfway to a having a new cap for a tooth. It suppose to be here before we leave.

We've managed to get our trailer washed by Bob's RV Wash.  We've had an issue with our bathroom skylight leaking. Didn't realize it until we got to Alabama and got into soaking, all-day rains.  The outer cover of the skylight was dry rotted & cracked and no matter how much lap sealant I put on it, it leaked in heavy rains.  So we got a new outer cover from DRV and got it installed.  Got the truck washed.  Ate at Mikee's (Donna), Steamers & Cosmo's.  All our gift cards from The Shrimp Basket are now gone.  And we've found out our exhaust leak in the truck isn't fixed.

Donna also got a new knit project to work on, and we also bought a new, larger-screen RV GPS for me to fuss about.   I was never real happy with our trucker's GPS.  We got off to a bad start with it when I set our profile at 28,000 lbs and it routed us over a bridge that was only rated for 12,000 lbs.  So with that in mind I start using this new one with a trip planned from Gulf Shores, AL to Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL.  I planned the trip on the Good Sam Website, exported it to the GPS, and started the trip just to see what would happen.  It took us 0.8 mile to the dead-end of the campground road where we're at and said we'd arrived.  Yep, good start with this one, too!  Let's see - we're only 550+ miles short of making it to Walt Disney World...

Anyway, that's it for us.  Suppose to be below freezing tomorrow night, so we're not out of the cold weather, yet.  Later, David
