Sumter 60 and rain to humid and 80....wow

Friday another cool morning Brad had to wear his sweat shirt to grill.  We had pancakes and sausage on the grill.  Checked all the traps, no activity except for more plastic chewed.  About 1:00 we headed out to Odd Couples for lunch, then to the hardware store for another mouse trap, new American Flag and a boot scrapper to set out side the RV (tired of the sand).  I think Brad will buy one more trap every day until the last critter is caught.  We went down to local state park checked out their schedule of events for March, re-enactments and crafts, etc.  Later we headed to Sparkman's fruit stand and got a flat of strawberries and a bag of oranges, stopping at Shari's and leaving most of it there, with seven of them it will probably be gone by evening.  We just had a small dinner here at the RV, neither of us being very hungry, a walk for Rudy and a stay inside night. 
 
Saturday,  rain, rain, rain so breakfast in camper.  We then started sorting out the storage bins, dodging rain drops in the process.  We put up the new flag and set out a few more decorations and
Camp Site
  Brad checked the traps, one was tripped but no mouse.   We decided to go to Howie's for lunch and make that our main meal of the today, Brad had grilled haddock(huge piece) Diane had half rack of ribs and they just fell off the bone.  We drove over to the Lake Panasoffkee VFW and  turned in our old flags, had a drink and listened to the very interesting group hanging out there.  We then did some touring around and found a small state park called Hog Island Campground, so we drove down the road, the road got narrow with no macadam, and it turned in sand with large pot holes.  We finally found the camp ground, nice with probably 20 sites, no hook ups but there were several campers including one motor home (our Moho will never travel that road).  Back home tend to Rudy and a walk in between rain showers.   So... since we had a big lunch we settled for ice cream for dinner, along with the other 20 people at Lickety Splits, then home to hang out and hide from the rain. 

Where the TV was
Sunday we a quick breakfast, then Brad decided it was time to remove the front TV, and so the fun begins.  Plastic screw covers popped, then the screws out of the plastic...nope not loose.  OK, check in the side cupboards and there are 3 screws holding up the wooden frame, they come out and the frame comes off.  2 brackets at the back of the TV come off and we still can't get it to move....now what.  I'm outside hanging up laundry, phone in my pocket, ready to call 911 when I hear the yell, but it never came.  Back inside, Brad on one side of the TV and me on the other, a little wiggle and it comes loose.  We finally got it out...right to the car for the trip to the dump.  OK a mess in the house, I left to go play bingo....2 hours for Brad to clean up should be enough.  No luck at bingo, but it was nice seeing all the people from last year, and it worked, not only did Brad get the place cleaned up, he ran to the grocery store to grab a few things we needed...yeah.  Home after bingo, a couple of walks around the park for Rudy, burgers on the grill and then windows shut and AC on....what a change, 2 nights ago we had the heat on.  Oh well, we'll see what tomorrow brings. 

And now all the tools are
on the dash.

Diane and Brad
