Rally Days are Here Again . . .
This morning started out early, way, way too early. But we got moving with a lot of hot coffee and some of those delicious cranberry muffins our friend Gina made for us. Toasted in the oven and slathered with butter, they are fantastic.
So we hit the ground running about 8am, (well, maybe not running) but after working at pretty much a dead run yesterday, today was almost restful. We only had about 2 dozen rigs come in, and they were pretty spread out during the day. It seems a number of rigs still haven’t shown up, very possibly due to the very high winds we had here today. So we still may have a few stragglers tomorrow.
Most of my day was spent fielding questions and complaints, but nothing really major. A lot of it just being sure people knew they needed to go to register, and where registration was, etc.
Finally at 3pm we shut down parking and got everyone together in the Main Hall for the Welcome Meeting.
About 5:30 Nick and Terry, and Jan and I headed down the street to EAT . . . well, to eat at EAT. EAT is our favorite local Chinese buffet place, and the favorite for a lot of RV’ers since we saw many familiar faces there.
About 7 we had our evening meeting that started with a great talk and Q&A session with a Marine Captain from the Marine Corp Air Station across the street. She answered a lot of questions, and was very informative. So much so, that she got a standing ovation at the end. We really appreciate her service to our country.
Then it was time for everyone’s favorite, the Door Prize drawings, with a wide assortment of things, from restaurant gift cards, books, computer GPS mapping software, to stays at RV resorts. With even more on coming nights.
Tomorrow is another early morning with Jan on gate duty starting at 8am. We always have locals who come in on day passes, and Jan will be handling that at the front gate.
And I have to finish up my prep for my seminar tomorrow entitled “Ten Things to Never Do with your Computer”. Hopefully everyone will get something out of it.
That’s it for today. More tomorrow.
