It was a nice cool 64 degrees this morning and decided to get the truck cleaned out and washed. Well when I went outside I see there wasn’t any dew. So I decided to wax the 5th wheel. When I got done with that it was still partly cloudy and so I went to work on the truck. So by 1:30 pm I had the truck nice in clean inside and out. It was also getting pretty warm by then and I was hungry and pooped. After lunch I took my morning shower or I should say afternoon shower. It was near 2:00 pm before I got to sit down and that is pretty much where I spent the rest of the day. Cheri took Grandma for her throat x-ray and also made a stop at the bank. She had gotten her new checks in the mail today and they were the wrong ones and so they order some more new ones for her. Cheri had done a bunch of cleaning and laundry today so she was also done for the day when she got back home. I received and e-mail from Rick and Janis saying that they have arrived back in Wisconsin and it is cold and deary, thats why we are in no hurry to get back there.

I went right to work on washing the rest of the 5th wheel. It was near 11:00 am when I got done. I was hot, sweaty and tired. The shower sure felt good. Cheri did some deeper cleaning inside. I was planning on waxing the part of the 5th wheel that I washed a couple of days ago. That all changed this afternoon, as we were sitting here taking it easy we hear a chain saw running. We look out the window see that the power company is cutting down a large palm tree that is about twenty feet from our 5th wheel and the wind is blowing our direction. They cut it down from the top in one foot pieces. So guess where all the saw dust went, yep all over the 5th wheel. I was one very unhappy person. I went out and talked to the guy on the ground and told him I had just finished washing the 5th wheel and wanted to know who was going to wash it again. He said that I would have to go to the park office and talk to them as the tree belonged to the park. The park manager said that I would have to talk to the power company because they are the ones that are cutting the tree down. Don’t you just love it when people keep passing the buck? I went back home and waited until they got the tree completely cut down and talked to the guy that was doing the cutting. He said you people are never happy and he couldn’t help which way the wind was blowing. Then he had the nerve to say it will be raining in a couple of hours anyway. Long story short he agreed to wash it if I got a pail of water and soap with a brush. So I got the cleaning supplies out and then went back inside to cool my heals. After they left I went out to check out the wash job and I ended up washing the roof, back and half of the left side again. After all of that I was in no condition to do any waxing today. Oh by the way it never did rain today. Cheri took Grandma to the doctor for her appointment for her throat. She now has to go for and x-ray tomorrow and then back to the doctor on Tuesday. After supper we had to go over to Wal-Mart to get some medicine for Grandma. I think today was the hottest and most humid day so far this year.

I got around early so I could do more washing on the 5th wheel. I got the back and half of the side done before it got too hot and it was time to get ready to go out for lunch today. We have a lunch date with Grandma, Cousin Rick and Janis. We left at 12:00 pm and headed to a new bar and grill in Dade City called Doc’s. The food was very good and the menu was really funny all done with medical terms, made for good reading. We will be going back again. When we got back to Grandma’s the five of us sat down and played a game of dominos that the girls won. Late afternoon we were invited over to Mike and Pam’s for supper and cards. Wow two good meals in one day am I bless or what. We played two games of Hand and Foot at the girls won and then three games of SOB which I didn’t win any of. So you can see what happened to my winning ways. So now I am setting here in a corner licking my wounds. Tomorrow I hope to finish washing the 5th wheel. It has been a tough job this week as I have been under the weather with a sore throat and a touch of flue. It was a hot and humid day in the low 90’s, still better than the weather up north. We also had some excitement here in the park. A guy and his wife were leaving the dumpsters and he blacked out and drove into the back side of a park model and completely destroyed it. The people that owned it were trying to sell it and now the insurance company owned it.

Cheri took Grandma for her follow up doctor’s appointment with her general practitioner. She told the doctor that she was having trouble with her throat and that it was sore and has been that way for a long time. So now she has an appointment to see a throat doctor on Thursday. I had my VA appointment at 12:30 pm in Tampa and wasn’t sure if Cheri would be back in time so I could use the van. So I took the motorcycle and filled it up with gas. The low fuel light was on from our last trip and didn’t know how far we had gone with the low fuel light on. Long story short I went to the nearest station to fill up. I put in 4.92 gallons and the tank is only a five gallon tank. So you can say the good Lord was watching out for us. Well Cheri got home in time for us to head to Tampa for my appointment. We stopped at Burger King for lunch and ate that on our way. We arrived about ten minutes early and got in right away. I ended up having to go over to the hospital to get an x-ray of my ankle. The doctor said I should wait until after 4:00 pm as it wouldn’t be so busy otherwise I might have to wait for an hour or two. Well we decided we didn’t have anything else to do so we head on over to the hospital to get the x-ray done. Well I only had to wait about five minutes to get the x-ray done. We were back home by 3:30 pm. Cheri and I had all we wanted for one day so we relaxed the rest of the day.

I have an eye appointment on May 5th so our leave date is now May 6th, that is if there are no new appointments. My day was spent cleaning the motorcycle. It was pretty dirty from our last ride as the love bugs are now out and we collected a bunch of them all over the front of the bike. So I decided to give it a good cleaning. It was 8:30 am when I started and I didn’t get done until after 4:00 pm. Cheri took Grandma for a doctor’s appointment this morning for her eyes and everything is ok and doesn’t have to go back for six months, good news. It was around 10:30 am when Cheri got home and checked the e-mail and Rick had e-mailed us to let us know that Dean and Betty were leaving today. They weren’t going to leave until tomorrow, so we jumped in the Van, picked up Grandma and went over to their place to say good bye. Rick and Janis came right after we did. They usually leave around 3:00 am or 4:00 am in the morning and everyone was surprised that they were going to leave now. We dropped Grandma off and headed back home. I continue cleaning the motorcycle. I took one more break to eat lunch. Cheri took Grandma for another doctor’s appointment this afternoon. It was with her heart doctor and more good news as the doctor said everything looked good and didn’t have to go back for six months. Cheri and I play a game of Hand and Foot this evening before Dancing with the Stars started. There doesn’t seem to be any front runner, hard to tell who will be going home tomorrow.
