Parked for a month

 Tuesday 5 January 2021

   We are here for a month nice time to clean, fix, and recover.  Diane took her prescription to the drug store, picked up some wine, stopped at the grocery store and took Rudy's shot record to the office before they kicked him out. I went for a bike ride first in almost three months, boy did I feel that.  We had our first camp fire in almost as long.  Homemade chili, a campfire, wine what a great evening.

Our Campsite for the month.

   The fire rings they have here are huge and high you need a bunch of wood and still can't see the fire.  So this morning(ish) we headed out to buy one.  Walked around Lowes trying to find one and we did,

our patio.  

they only had one and it still took us a hour to decide.  And while we were thinking I found an electric pressure washer.  Lunch at Chick-a-fil and home with our purchases.  I started putting together the fire pit while Diane went for a walk.  When she came back we pulled the base of the fire pit out of the box and you will never guess.... the whole one side is smashed.  The box was not damaged at all so it must have been put in the box smashed.  We re-boxed it and loaded it back in the truck.  I got the pressure washer out, put it altogether but it was wine time before I got to test it out.  A glass of wine and we sat by the campfire for awhile.  Lovely evening.

   Breakfast on the grill and then Diane was off to return the firepit and shop for another.  I tested the pressure washer before Diane headed out shopping.  It works fine, Yeah.  I tore the grill apart and gave it a thorough and much needed cleaning.  That took almost two hours but it looks almost new.  Diane came back without a firepit after hours of searching nearby stores.  She did however score some firewood. I finished the grill went for a bike ride.  It was a nice day so we finished it off with steak, bake potato, and mushrooms for dinner. Yum.

   Last night had an interesting twist, after enjoying a great meal while relaxing before bed I spilled my wine.  Not to bad mostly on the table and just a few drops on my chair we were laughing as we finished cleaning it up when Diane turned around and swatted her cup off the table onto the chair and finally the floor. Another half roll of paper towels and we were all cleaned up.  Anyway, we didn't give up on the firepit.  Diane spent a hour searching and ordering one on the internet.  Just hope it gets here before our  time is up.  Cloudy and cool today and for next several days, we even have a night or two in the 30's.  I won't complain to much it still recovers into the sixty's.  We took a drive toward Jacksonville stopping at several antique/junk stores and lastly at the General RV for parts.  No parts, no RV's to look at so we just headed home.
