Whew, That Was Close . . .
When I got up about 11 this morning, the park water was off. And of course since the AC leak and microwave problem had jumped to the head of the repair list line, I have not yet installed the new water pump that came in last week.
Luckily we had enough water in a jug to still make coffee this morning. Otherwise things could gone downhill very quickly. So, up next, the water pump install.
I know most RV’ers have a love-hate relationship with their water hose. I know I do. How can something labeled “Non-Kink”, or “No-Kink” find so many different ways kink, twist, or knot up while it’s just laying on the ground.
And I’m sure, like me, you’ve looked longingly at those expandable Pocket hoses that you can wad up in a ball, and thought, maybe it wouldn’t give me cancer if I drank from one all the time.
Well, someone has finally come with an RV version. Called the Zero G RV and Marine Hose, it’s available for about $32 for a 25ft length.
About 4pm Jan and I drove down to the Cracker Barrel for dinner. Thursday being Turkey and Dressing Day, it’s Jan’s favorite day to eat there. But after looking over the menu, I was having trouble choosing between two items, both new on the menu – the Strawberry Chicken Spinach Salad and the Beef Campfire Grill. So I got both.
Or rather I got the Campfire Grill and Jan and I split the salad.
The salad was really great, with Strawberries, Blueberries, Spinach, Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Feta Cheese, Pecans, and Red Onions, with a Strawberry Vinaigrette. Probably the best salad of this type we’ve ever had.
With Jan going for her Turkey and Dressing, and us splitting the salad, I got to have the Beef Campfire Grill, with Beef Roast, Carrots, Red Potatoes, Onions, and Corn on the Cob. Kind of like a Louisiana or Low Country Boil, but with beef (or chicken) rather than shrimp or crawfish.
it comes like this,
and opens to this.
Everything was tender and delicious, especially the beef roast, very flavorful and perfectly spiced. Try it.
Landon’s out of school for the summer, all ready to be a 1st Grader this fall. So he gets to spend some time with his father, Lowell, hanging out at the new Starbuck’s near their house.
Looks like his recent treadmill faceplant has healed up.
Wrapping up, be sure and get your copy of Nick Russell’s latest best seller, “Return To Dog’s Run”.
Picking up 15 years after the original “Dog’s Run”, it’s a fast-paced read that Jan says grabbed her before the end of the first chapter. Get your copy now before Amazon runs out.
