Today started off cloudy and went down hill from there. It struggled to get into the low 60's. A little after noon it started to shower on and off and it is still doing it.
Around noon we headed up to Bushnell and Howie's for lunch. From there it was Walmart and haircuts. We had about an hour wait. We picked up a few items for Beryl to eat after she gets her teeth pulled and got back to the rig around 1430.
We headed up to the AC around 1645 to help get things ready for the dine in supper. They had 98 people for the supper. We got back to the rig around 1930, took BJ for his walk and settled in for some TV.
That's about it for today.
Thought For The Day – Even duct tape can’t fix stupid.
But at least it can muffle the sound

Dentist, Doctors & More Dentists
The highs for the last three days have been in the upper 70's and the lows in the upper 50's to low 60's. This afternoon we had a good shower which was really needed. The temps for the next few days will b a little below normal in the mid to upper 60's and lows could be in the 30's and 40's.
Monday Beryl had an appointment with a Dentist in Bushnell. While at the office, I leaned over to read her info form and something popped in my back. The dentist took x-rays and gave her pricing on several treatment options none of which we liked. I got on the computer and made her an appointment with Aspen Dental in Brooksville for Tuesday morning. They also have offices in Hazleton and Wilkes barre.
Tuesday I got up and could hardly walk due to back pain. We headed to Brooksville for our 1100 appointment. The exam included free x-rays, a complete exam, and consultation. It was determined that most of Beryl's teeth had some type of problem and the cap from hell was coming loose again. We decided it was time for upper and lower dentures. They took impressions and schedule the extractions and fitting for Tuesday, Feb. 19th. We scheduled a followup appointment for Wed. Feb 13 to complete the pre-extraction fit up. WE had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays and got back to the rig around 1430.
Beryl took BJ for his walk and then we headed to the Walk in Clinic in Bushnell. After a 3 hr wait I got in to see the Doctor. He gave me a shot and a prescription for a pain pill. We got back to the rig around 1830. The back pain is a lot better but it still isn't totally gone.
This morning we headed back to Brooksville for our 1130 appointment and final fitting check. We had lunch at the Golden Corral and got back to the rig around 1445. We spent the rest of the day listening to the on and off rain.
D-Day, Denture Day, is Tuesday, Feb 19 at 1200. The dentist said it would probably take 2 to 3 hrs and she will have a followup appointment the next day.
That's about it for today.
Thought For The Day – Don’t worry about what people think. They don’t do it very often

A Lazy Weekend
The highs over the weekend were in the upper 70's and the lows around 50. It was partly cloudy both days.
Saturday I was up early so after taking BJ for his walk I headed up to the AC for breakfast. They had biscuits, sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs. The rest of the day we just chilled.
Sunday we left around 1100 and headed to Brooksville and Buffet City. After lunch we headed acrossed the street to Samsclub to pickup a few things. From there it was back to CVS in Bushnell and then back to the rig.
1600 was the ice cream social and then we chilled for the rest of the evening.
Tomorrow Beryl has a dentist appointment to checkout her broken tooth. Tuesday at 1600 they are having a Mardi gras parade.
That's all for today
Thought For The Day – If a decision backfires on you, don’t give up. Learn the lesson from it and move on

We’re Still Alive
The weather the last 3 weeks has been all over the place. The highs ranged from the The low 60’s to the low 80’s. The lows went from the mid 30’s to the low 60’s. Most days were cloudy to partly sunny with only one or two short showers.
One morning we raked the leaves on our site and I spent a Saturday helping power wash the patio slabs at each site. We did half of them on Sat and others completed the rest on Sun. There were around 110 sites to do and the slabs ranged from 8 x12 to 8 x 30. Beryl has been helping serve at the dine in suppers on Thursday and the Snacks at the Friday Jam sessions. We've each also have read several books.
On the Jan 30th, Wed., we headed to Lazy Days to get the AC’s replaced, awnings installed, front end alignment and several minor items taken care of. Our appointment with the Service Advisor was for 1300 on the 31st. We were told they would probably start work on Friday Feb. 1st and be finished Tues. You have to be out of the rig while it is in the service bay during working hours which are 0800 to 1700. No one had come for the rig by 1530 so we went looking for Shawn our SA. He said things got backed up and they would get it in the bay first thing Sat. It went to the bay around 1130 Sat. They got 1 0f 3 awnings installed and change the shower nozzle.
While we were waiting at site Sat afternoon, a van pulled into the site and it was Jack & Red Salvatora. They are members of the Midlantic Travel Club and stay at a campground 3 miles down the road. We passed the afternoon with them and decide to get with them to go to Parksdale Farm Market for Strawberry Short cake. One good thing about Lazy Days is we got a membership in the Crown Club. They serve breakfast, lunch and Happy hour and it is free and the food is not bad.
Sunday we had brunch at Bob Evans. Jack and Red showed up around 1330 and we headed to Parkesdale Farm Market which is about 12 miles east if LD’s. Here are Jack and Red.
Here is what we ordered. There is one Strawberry Shortcake with ice cream and whipped cream, 2 ice creams with strawberries and whipped cream and one ice cream with whipped cream
Needless to say we didn’t need any supper
Monday around 1100 we picked up Jack and Red and headed to Apollo Beach to see the Manatee. Usually at this time of year there are around 100 manatee in this area because of the warm water from the power plant. As luck would have it, we saw one youngin. We'll have try Crystal River area next.
We stopped for burgers at Steak n Shake, dropped off Jack and Red at their park and headed back to LD to see what had been done. Our tech said rather than replace the AC’s they installed foam under them as an insulator to quiet them down. They were a lot quieter than before. Around 2130 the front AC stopped putting out hot air and when we started the rear AC it sounded like a jet taking off.
I was up at the office at 0700 Tuesday to talk to Shawn. He wasn’t in yet, but his boss Ken, who I had talked to in Jan, was there. He assured me the AC’s would be replaced as promised. Around 1000 I got a call from Shawn telling me that they had ordered the wrong AC’s. Around 1430 they still had no answer on the AC’s. When I went to the rig at 1630, the tech had both AC’s on heat and said the ones they had received were the right ones. He switched them to cooling and they seemed to be working ok and fairly quiet. We left them on cooling and went to supper. When we got back we shut them down, waited about ten minutes and switched them to heat. Guess what, the front one produced hot air and the rear one blew cold air like it was still set to cooling. This is where we spent Sat thru Tuesday nites
Wed morning it was backup to the office. Shawn said since they had an opening in chassis, They would do the front end alignment and then fix the AC. Around 1600 I tracked down Shawn to find out what was going on. He said it definitely needed a front end alignment and they were trying to determine whether Freightliner or Winnebago would pick up the tab. He also said the AC had been fixed. A little later Shawn called and said they would have about an hours work tomorrow to complete the alignment so they would move the rig to a site and pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. We were on a site similar to this one.
Thursday they picked up the rig early and it went to the chassis shop. Remember they only had one hours work to go. Around 1600 we headed to Shawn’s office to get an update. He was busy and we had to wait about 15 minutes. He said all work was done and the rig was being washed and would be moved to a site. We headed to the rig and went to lower the jacks and got an alarm that the parking brake was not on even though it was set. A tech came to check it out but he didn’t have any idea what was going on. They said it would have to go back to chassis in the morning. I remembered talking to another couple that had a similar problem and it was a loose plug an the parking brake switch. I reached under the dash, found the plug and pushed it back on. No more Alarm.
Friday morning we left LD’s a little after 1000 and got back to the campground around 1130. We got setup and headed out for lunch, Winn Dixie and CVS. We also stopped at a dentist so Beryl could get an appointment to have her broken tooth looked at. That brings everything up to date.
