Doves and Deeres . . .

Well it looks like the doves have come back with the olive branch and the sun is trying to peek through the clouds. It’s actually supposed to be pretty nice until Tuesday. Hopefully things will be able to dry out by them.

After the usual coffee and lunch I headed over once again to the RV/MH Hall of Fame. I’m hoping to finish up tomorrow, or Monday at the latest. But then I’ve said that before.

I got back to the rig about 5:15, and about 15 minutes later, Nick and Terry, and Jan and I headed over to El Maguey for our Mexican fix. Dave and Jean Damon, vendors of Aerospace 303, who are also staying here at the park, followed us over, where we all met up with Al Hesselbart for some great Mexican food.

Brandi, Lowell, and Landon are visiting Lowell’s parents in Oklahoma, and they sent us these photos.

Here’s Landon and his daddy.

And now for another installment of . . .

Things Every RV’er should have:

Today’s topic is Aerospace 303 Protectant. As I mentioned above, our friends at dinner with us tonight, Dave and Jean Damon, are vendors for 303, and they turned me on to this stuff a couple of years ago. It’s been used in the aircraft and marine industry for years, but has only recently become widely known in the RV world.

303 is a UV protectant for any type of canvas, rubber, vinyl, latex, leather, fiberglass, or Neoprene. It is especially good on tires to help prevent the cracking and deterioration that shortens the life of your RV tires.

And applied to your awnings, it will increase their life and water repellency, while greatly reducing the fading.

If you can’t catch up with Dave and Jean at a rally, you can get it here on Amazon for Aerospace 303.

Pizza and Droids . . .

Got up early this morning, a little before 9. Last night we developed a leak in our slide coming out from underneath the sofa. Luckily it’s not hurting the floor since right now it’s still just plywood until I get the new flooring installed. See, sometimes procrastination pays off.

About 11 Nick Russell called and said they were getting ready to head up to their printer’s in Michigan to pick up the latest issue of the Gypsy Journal that was printed overnight. Said they should be back by dinner.

About noon I headed back over to the RV/MH Hall of Fame. I think I might as well put a cot over there and just stay. Every time I think I’m getting close to wrapping things up, they spring something new on me.

I got back to the rig a little after 5 to find Nick and Terry already here, so pretty quickly we all headed over to Mancino’s Pizza for our weekly pizza fix. Love their garlic cheese breadsticks!

Then leaving Mancino’s we drove over to the Verizon Store. Both Jan and I are looking for new phones, and Nick is thinking about getting a MI-Fi Mobile Hotspot, so we thought we’d check things out. I really like the new Droid Charge and will probably get one before we leave Elkhart next week.

Then we walked next door to Martin’s to pick up a few things before we headed home.

On the weather front, it’s supposed to rain through tomorrow evening, then go down into the low 30’s tomorrow night before kind of clearing up to cloudy on Saturday. And then of course, more rain on Sunday. Don’t you just love it.
