Winter Excursion 4, Day 92

I had the truck all cleaned of bird poop by 0830!
We spent the rest of the morning around camp. I got everything outside all packed and ready to travel as it is supposed to rain all day tomorrow and we hate packing up wet stuff!
We headed over to Ronnie and Carol's around 1200. Ronnie and I put up some of the outside lights as they just had the house resided. Cath and Carol had another yak fest.
Ronnie burned some steaks for dinner. We headed home around 1930.
A few shows, then off to bed.
One more day until we see the Gunk-Skunk!🦨

Winter Excursion 4, Day 91

Carol picked Cath up this morning and they went into Enterprise to the Nut House. No...not the looney bin, but a really nice nut shop. Cath picked up some yummy salsas, chocolate covered pecans, and some pecan brittle.
I drove over to Ozark to Walmart and TSC for a few supplies we needed.
It rained all day and into the evening, so we spent the day watching some TV and talking at Ronnie and Carol's. Cath made a really nice pork chop dinner.
When we were ready to leave I noticed some bird droppings on the truck, but didn't realize just how bad it was until we got it in the light. There must have been a couple of hundred direct hits. Those birds had good aim! I'll have to wash it first thing tomorrow.
One more day at Ft Rucker then we are off to see Jacob! We can't wait!

Winter Excursion 4, Day 90

Cath Had a hair appointment this morning, so I did a few chores at the camper. The weather is beautiful!
I dropped Cath off a Carol's and then took the truck to a car wash, The inside was especially bad from Kaylee and all the sand.
Cath, Carol, and I ate lunch at the Vietnamese restaurant in Daleville. We had eaten there last year and the food is excellent. The owner remembered us!
Ronnie worked a double today so he got home around 1600.
The dogs are finally sharing a bed! They had been playing musical bed until today.
Nachos for dinner, then we left for camp and a few shows.

Winter Excursion 4, Day 89

We went over to Ronnie and Carol's around lunch.
Ronnie and I ran a few errands in town, the girls stayed at the house and yakked!
In Enterprise many of the businesses and government buildings are decorated with a dressed-up, life size, boll weevil. Here's pics of the one at the Farmers Market.
Cotton in one hand, peanuts in the other!
In Dothan they dress-up life size peanuts.
We spent the afternoon and early evening with Ronnie & Carol. We had a nice Taco dinner and then headed back to the camper.

Winter Excursion 4, Day 88

We met Ronnie and Carol at their house and we headed over to Slocomb, AL for brunch. Zack's has a super buffet on Sunday and if you like southern cooking this is the place to be. Sharon met us there and we all had a good time. We said goodbye rto Sharon and we hope to see her next year. 30 years is too long!
Cath and I went back to the camper after brunch and had a lazy, rainy, afternoon. A few shows, some cards, and pizza for dinner. It's been a fun day!

Winter Excursion 4, Day 87

I drove into post this morning and got a haircut! It was the first one in 90 days. When I walked into the barber shop Ronnie was in one of the chairs! I did a few errand and then headed back to camp.
Cath and I cleaned the place up and played a little cribbage.
Kevin and Kim came over around 1300. We talked about old times and caught up on new ones. It was good to see them, hopefully we can get together again before we leave.
We headed over to Ronnie and Carol's late afternoon. Carol made a nice dinner. Sharon showed up, we have not seen her in almost 30 years! We all had a fun evening just talking. We finally made it back to camp around 2200. On the road in we saw a few deer, but the hit was a good size wild pig (boar). I'll have to be careful driving that road at night.

Winter Excursion 4, Day 86

It rained last night from 0100 to around 0400. Luckily we had packed almost everything up and we didn't get too wet getting ready to go. We were on the road by 1000, but will cross a time zone, so it's actually 0900.
Had a nice 200 mile drive on the Georgia backroads. There is still lots of hurricane and tornado damage in this state.
Here are some pics of the new campsite at Engineer Beach CG, Ft Rucker, AL. We were all set up by 1500.

Cath made a super dinner. We watched a few shows, then hit the pillows. It's been a good day and the weather here is great.
