Mamacita’s Meetup . . .
With it drizzling rain pretty much all day, that put a kibosh on any outside chores, so I spent most of the day going over our upcoming trip schedule.
I nailed down a few more parks, and made a few reservations, An ‘*’ by the date means I have a reservation there. Many of these I won’t contact until a few days before.

We’re coming back here the end of June for a big family reunion. Then we’ll head back out for a couple of more months until the end of August when we’ll come back for Landon’s 7th birthday. After that it’s gate guarding time again.
In a follow-up to Moen’s excellent customer service, I got an email from them today, saying that my FREE part had been shipped.
And in a follow-up to iDrive’s sucky customer service, I still have not heard back from them answering my questions about any actual activity on the account.
Yesterday I was able to repair the socket that holds the AC Blower Resistor Pak for our Dodge Dakota.
A while back a high resistance in the socket burned the common pin off the plug and damaged the socket itself.
Since then we only had the high speed on the blower because I used a paper clip to bypass the resistor pak.
But I was able to repair the socket and install a new resistor pak.
So now we have all 4 speeds again.
About 3:45 Jan and I headed down to the Clear Lake area once again for Jan’s yearly get-together with five of her former Medical Records coworkers. They all have done this every year since we started RV’ing in 2008, and Jan looks forward to it for months.
Jan had me come by the meeting place, Mamacita’s Mexican Restaurant, in Webster to get a picture of the group.
I didn’t have any trouble finding the group. I just asked at the front desk where the rowdiest bunch was seated and they pointed me in the right direction.
Jan’s already looking forward to next year’s meet.
