Winter Excursion 10, Day 106

This morning we went to Gray to do some food shopping before we are "ON" for four days. We didn't need a lot, just a few staples. We are still getting use to the giant freezer we have in this camper and we tend to keep it full!

In the afternoon we went to downtown Macon and had an early dinner at The Rookery (the Allman Brothers hangout). It was good as usual.

Back at camp we sat by the campfire, had a glass of wine, and watched the sunset. Temps were in the mid 60s today.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 105

Today was our Co-host's 88th birthday! The girls at the Kiosk gave him a couple of t-shirts and a nice cake. Cath and I had him over for dinner and gave him a nice pocket knife. Cath made a super good apple pie. I just hope I can do what Ed is doing when I'm 88!

We spent most of the day in camp enjoying the weather, watching the Olympics, and just enjoying another day off. 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 104

We took the short drive to the Fresh Market. I'd never seen this store before and was blown away by the huge selections and the super high prices. Cath had been here before with one of the Kiosk Gals. We picked up a few snacks, cookies, and beet juice. I wanted the beet juice to make pickled eggs! It was fun to see, but we won't use it for our everyday food supplies as I don't want to go broke! 

We spent the afternoon making the pickled eggs and watching the Olympics.

All in all it was another lazy day with perfect weather. 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 103

First of four days off and we did almost nothing! We stayed at camp all day and did a few chores.

Last week while we were driving to the store I passed a truck. When I stepped on the gas the truck started to misfire. When we got back to camp I checked the OBC codes and sure enough it was a misfire. After a little research I discovered a few reasons why this might be happening. The easiest thing to check was the air filter. Today I pulled the air filter out, cleaned it, and re-oiled it. After I reinstalled it I took the truck for a test drive. It worked like it was new! That filter was really dirty, but cleaning it solved the problem and prevented a trip to the Ford dealer.

We spent the afternoon outside by the fire. The weather is beautiful and Cath took a break from watching the Olympics.

All is well in the Boss Camp!

 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 102

It's Super Bowl Sunday! Go Seahawks!

Before we could enjoy the game we had to have an interesting Camp Host day.

It started on first "rounds" this morning at the boat ramp. Someone decided the ladies room was a good place to get sick. It took about 30 minutes to cleaned it up! YUK!

Next we had 13 campers leaving and only one arriving. Cleaning sites was the story of the day. Of course the last one to leave (late) was the one site where we had an incoming camper. One other site was one of the dirtiest, messy, sites we've seen. There was wet woodchips and mud due to a leaking hose at the camper fresh water nozzle all over the site. And the best of all was a large wad of cooking grease on the pavement and picnic table. And don't forget all the charred tinfoil and beer cans in the still hot fire ring! It was a mess to cleanup!

We worked steady until late afternoon.

Finally it was Super Bowl time. We had our Co-host over for s burgers and all the fixings. It was a good game if you were a Seahawk fan. We tuned to another channel for the halftime show.

The find of the day was that filthy site, but I did not get a pic. It's one find I want to forget.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 101

It was a fairly normal camp host day. The park is almost full, but most of the campers arrived yesterday. We just did our normal duties and relaxed in the afternoon.

The weather was perfect today with high in the 60s. It's about time!

The find of the day this bow tie.

If it came from a dog I'm sure it wasn't the kind of dog we like!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 100

We spent the day getting all the new campers settled in. This was the busiest day we've had so far. It felt like the day would never end. We were still dealing with campers until almost 1800. The campground is almost full.

The find of the day was another fuse.

This one is in good shape, not blown. It now lives in my electrical box.
