A Real Work Day

Yes....I am really working today. I had to go out and do some repairs on the 8 color press. Geee it is a long way up and down the steps on those presses! I was fixing some keepers on the ink fountain box and had to go back and forth to the shop to get the parts made. By the time I got through this old man was worn out. Now I am setting at my desk with non Maintenance problems being shot in my directions. Sometimes I say to myself...."you're really going to miss doing this job"... and then a day like today comes along and I say, "No way".

Sherri comes home tonight and I am glad! I think we will go out to eat and then go home and relax...maybe watch some TV and then go to bed early so we can get up early. We have to take the RV into Funtime RV in Denton in the morning to have them look at our converter. It stopped charging the batteries last week for what ever the reason. Always something...good that it is under warranty. Our refrigerator will not work while the batteries wont charge. If we do not have charged up batteries the fridge wont come on and stay on. So this week I have had a ice chest on the front porch with all my goodies in it. It will be nice to have my Refrigerator back on .

OK back on subject... we have to pack up and pull out for a 10:00 am appointment in the morning. I plan on leaving it there and heading up to the Windstar and do a little low stakes gambling while they work on it. I have to slip some pennies in those slots so I can make me another $5.00. Last time we were up there Sherri won $111.00 and I won $5.00 not bad for playing games! Oh well we will head up there and hopefully they will have my RV fixed by the time I get back. The proof will be in the pudding and I will post the results of the repairs and the casino run tomorrow.

Last night on the chat we were talking about the coast and the RV Parks down there and the prices that everyone was paying. Seems to me like they have some good deals down there at $250.00 a month + electric @ $.13 a KWH. I think that might be on my short list for winter time get aways. I love the beach early in the morning with a sunrise and a cup of coffee. We use to spend a week or so in Galveston on the beach in October. That was a great time to enjoy the Gulf. Temps are not too bad and there are fewer tourist to deal with. Yes I think we will have to give this area some thought.

Deb and Sandra are down there now and they said they are getting some good prices on rents and the rates are the winter rates....soooo that is not bad. I am not sure on making reservations and I am not real sure how much advanced notice you need to give them in order to secure a spot for January. I don't want to commit too far in advance for fear that I might change my plans later?? I guess as long as I give them 30 days notice to cancel I should be OK.

Being the Poor Boy I am I have to have somewhere to go that leaves me enough money to eat on after I pay my rent! I believe there is a lot of things to see and do in that area to keep me entertained on my small budget and I would hope that I could find a Dreamer down there to share my porch with me occasionally. This will be in January and February of 2010. That seems like a long way off but I will be in Colorado in June July and August of 2009 and in the Hill Country in September and part of October and then back to the home base in October November and December.

Now you know that all these plans are in the same Jello that Ellie and Jim make their plans in so it could all change....
