Winter Excursion 10, Day 148

It was quite a day Hosting!
We had 16 campers leaving and 16 arriving. Cleaning sites took most of the morning, but of course four of those leaving didn't get off their site until 10 minutes before checkout time!
We had a mess at the dump station as someone dumped their black tank all over the station. I'm sure it was just a mistake, but they didn't even bother to report it. The maintenance guy and I cleaned it all up. YUK!
The other Host blew a tire on their cart. We ended up changing a tire.
First thing this morning maintenance and I decorated the Kiosk for the USA 250 anniversary. We think it turned out nice.


The find of the day was this priceless pearl necklace.
I gave it to one of the Kiosk Gals to have it appraised.
It was a very long Hosting Day! 
Oh. Forgot to mention I did a water leak repair on a camper for one of our guests. They had a river from their site and into the road.
Did I mention it was a long day!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 147

It was another nice, normal hosting day. We cleaned a few sites and did the bathhouses.
Late afternoon we had the other "Brinkley" couple stop by. We all had a good time swapping stories and lies.
The find of the day was USB charging cable.
I'm sure there is a camper somewhere with a dead cell phone. Hope they had an extra!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 146

Our first day back "ON" and it was an easy one. Had a few campers arrive and a few leave. One of the arrivals was another Brinkley. We talked to them for almost 30 minutes swapping Brinkley stories. 
The find of the day was another tent stake.
I'll add it to our collection, but soon I'll need a bigger box!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 145

I took Cath to her hair appointment this morning at 0830. After that she met up with her friend and they had a lunch date and a shopping day. She picked up some nice new jeans which she really needed. They look great! She didn't get back to camp until almost 1700! I was worried they were lost!
I spent the day in camp hanging out with one of the maintenance guys. We drove into town with the maintenance truck and picked up one of the lawnmowers they had repaired.
I did make a quick trip to an Ace hardware store for a few things I needed. There just happened to be a Burger King right next door. I could not pass up the chance to get a Whopper!
We will be back to work tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 144

We had another nice lazy morning. We did some pancakes and sausage on the flattop.
We did go into town and did some grocery shopping in preparation for our four days "ON". It was actually a day early, but Cath is having a spa day on our last day "OFF" (hair dresser & shopping with one of the Kiosk Gals).
Once again it has been a nice few days off and we again spent the late afternoon outside watching the sunset.
All is well in the Boss Camp.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 143

The weather continues to be nice. Light wind, high in the low 80s.
Once again we spent the entire day in camp doing some small maintenance projects we had put off due to storms or cold temps.
We played some cribbage outside for a change. Cath cheated and won! 
We are enjoying our days off being as we are able to be outside. The pollen was not too bad today and we hope it stays that way. The pine trees pods don't look to "full". We think it got knocked off in the storms. Time will tell.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 142

Our first of four days off and we hung at camp most of the day. We got the site all cleaned up from the recent storms, rinsed off the camper (pollen), cleaned off the awnings (pollen), rinsed off the truck (pollen), and washed the our Host Cart (pollen). Can you tell we just love pine pollen!
We did run into Gray to the Tractor Supply for propane, bird seed, and new work gloves.
We sat outside in the afternoon and worked on our tans. It was in the 80s today!
Take out pizza for dinner and we got to enjoy a nice sunset. 
It was a nice day off.
