Sharp's Travels
It was cold this morning when I went over to Grandma’s to get the van there was ice on the windshield. We got around early this morning and were ready to leave the 5th wheel by 6:30 am. We went out for breakfast and then over to the foot doctor for a shot of cortisone. He said the next step was to build an insert for my shoe. And if that doesn’t help I will have to have surgery to have the bunion removed. Then it was off to the Tampa fairgrounds for the big RV show. We checked out three different RV water softeners and ended up buying the SoftCell which I had been looking at on line. Another plus was we saved around $50 for buying it at the show and they are going to ship it to us. If you want to know more about the SoftCell go to www.softcellwater.com . Then we stopped at a couple of places that sell LED replacement bulbs. We have wanted to try some but because of the cost we haven’t done anything. Well we found some for a fair price and we bought nine of them to try. Then I bought a pair of shoe inserts that is supposed to help my foot with the bunion on my foot. The guy put them in my shoes and I must admit that they really helped. We will see how they work out after I get use to them. We also bought some surgical glue. I had some that I bought twenty years ago and finally had to throw it away. You have to keep it in the freezer and it is the best super glue we have ever used. I was happy to find it again. We looked and many other things and I have already put them on our wish list (maybe next year). Our last stop was at the Excel dealer to see if anyone was there from the factory and we were in luck as the president was there. We have talked to him many times over the last few years. Long story short we are going to cancel our appointment for the next week and this spring we are going to make a trip to Smith Center Kansas where the factory is to have our problems fixed. This is the reason we bought an Excel because they are so good about taking care of us. We got home around 4:00 pm and the first thing I did was put in the new LED lights and I must say we are very happy with them. No more hot fixtures and they use a lot less power. Over time we will be changing out all to the new LED lights. I grilled up some chicken for supper this evening and also did some brats for tomorrow. After supper we took the van back over to Grandma’s and check on her. After we got home we settled in for the evening, both of us are tired from our adventure today.
