Saturday 12-13-08

Friday we packed up and moved to Decatur, Al. The trip was in clear weather. There was a traffic incident just South of Birmingham that slowed us for about 45 minuets. Other than that the trip was uneventful.
Last night, with the heat on electric heat pump, the temperature outside dropped to 28 degrees. The heat pump stopped making heat. We woke up to inside temperatures of 65 degrees. I changed the heat over to gas and all was well.
Saturday I checked the propane gas level and discovered the gauge read 1/3 of a tank. We packed up and went for propane. I should have checked the levels prior to the move. More lessons learned.
After we were setup again, we drove to Glenn Jr's. I helped Glenn work on his car while Sylvia and Lana went shopping. We had dinner and good conversation. We r3eturned to the RV about 8 pm.
Point Mallard Campground is a large campground and well laid out. The host site is well decorated for Christmas. That is a nice touch.
That's it for now.

11 Dec. Daleville, Al

We survived the rain storms! We received about 11 inches of rain in a two day period. We got up to water on the floor at 5: am this morning. After the cleanup, we had breakfast and waited for the rain to stop so that the source of the leak could be found. The crank up TV antenna has a coax that enters the roof via a boot. When I looked at the boot this morning I discovered that the boot was pulled up allowing water to enter. I walked across the street to the Auto Parts store and got silicone adhesive to repair the boot. Hopefully this will stop the water. The later rains today did not cause a leak.
This evening Glenn Jr., Sylvia, and I went to "Ruby Tuesday's" for dinner. The ocassion was my birthday.
We are now all set for the trip to Decatur, Al. We will be there for about 3 weeks. It may be better to stay for the month depending upon the park fee rates.
Pictures today are from the campsite in Daleville. We are close to Glenn Jr's camper but it is for only 4 days.
Until next time.
