OMG I forgot my Jumbo Jelly Beans

Sunday evening

Another gloomy and rainy all day day. The Internet is so slow I don’t even know if I can publish this. Don’t know if it’s a Hughes.Net problem or the big storm system.
Slept late this morning because every time I opened my eyes it was dark out – so rolled over and went back to sleep. Finally looked at the clock and it was 9 o’clock!
Monday evening
Lost Internet service for entire day. Big rain storm moved through. Got a couple inches of rain.
Worked on my quilt yesterday got all the strips for the green blocks sewn together, next will be the yellows. Bill was working on building frames for his wood spirits and masks. And watched the race – didn’t turn out as well as the truck race – Kyle Busch the #18 came in 11th – needs to do better than that. At least he moved up a little in the points.
Went into town this morning for errands and breakfast. The Driver was looking for pretty feathers in Hobby Lobby. And lo and behold when we came out the SUN WAS SHINNING. Even having a pretty sunset tonight. But more rain expected tomorrow.
We have to go over to the RV doc tomorrow I really need my glasses and OMG I forgot my Jumbo Jelly Beans in the Alfa too. Need them.
Had talked before about the Frequent Fueler card from Flying J – with it you get the cash price for gas/diesel plus 3 cents a gallon off. So if you don’t have one get one it is worth it. Check out their web site www.pilotflyingj.com for info.

Internet and TV WORKING!!!!

Wed aft.

Hooray!!! Satellite Internet and Direct TV are now both working, in the rain even! There were a lot of problems with the stuff on the roof. Mismatched parts and parts missing. Would love to catch the guy who originally installed this mess. Oh well. With as much as we had in it we had to go ahead and fix it.
Washer/waxer guy never showed up and now it is raining soooo…. maybe tomorrow.
I mention that the hot water heater isn’t working. Satellite guy gave us a phone number for mobile RV people. So someone is coming to check it out on Friday.
To clarify something I mention on our way up here. The Alfa uses diesel fuel. There was a sign at the pumps for autos and RVs saying “auto diesel fuel 4.07” so we went to the truck pumps and paid 3.819 for diesel. We have a Flying J Frequent Fueler card – don’t know if that makes a difference or not.
We are staying at the Elkhart Campground here. It is really nice and well kept if anyone is ever in the area. Lots of trees, grass and flowers. About $30 a nite - extra $2 for cable. It is right off the Toll road and near lots of restuarants, grocery and drug stores - also a KMart.OH BOY!    Went to download my book on my Nook and had to connect to our Internet and it asked me for a password?????? We originally had this network set up about three years ago. I know what the password is for the set up on Jennie but here……Well some thought and I kind of remembered what it was – but first try I messed it up – but next try I got it right. Whew!  Got both my books downloaded – Now I’m a happy camper. So is Bill – he is watching
soccer.
