Day 47 – Thur Feb 17 – Trip to Mustang Island 2011

I got up at 7:00 this morning. That is sleeping in for me. I got the finances brought up to date and got all my data entry completed, checked out what is going on with our bank account and checked the stock market. All is well and my stock continues to rise. JW slept in, he didn’t get up until about 10:30. I was able to get breakfast over before he was to meet the Maintenance man to get the camera hooked up. Dishes are washed and I’m going to try to get all the cabinets oiled today. We may take a Dolphin Sightseeing Tour. It is a bit cooler out today so we may wait for a warmer day.

JW, once again, had to watch his favorite “rerun”. Had a great breakfast and then went to work hooking up the rear camera. Let me tell you about this camera, “It ain’t cracked up to be what JW thought it was gonna be”. Worked and worked trying to get it to work, to no avail. Upon close inspection, found corrosion on the transmitter plug contacts. JW cleaned them as best as he could but still the camera would not work. Chris, the maint. Man showed up and we finally came to the conclusion that we needed to “cut out” the offending corrosion laden plug. Got the camera to work finally using a connection to the reverse light. JW and Chris will run a line from the coach battery on Saturday to make a semi permanent constant power connection. Stay tuned.

While Chris was here we talked about the propane tank’s paint job. Wanda and JW both feel that it really needs to be done, so we gave Chris authorization to remove the tank and do the paint job. Chris will start that job on Friday morning. Stay tuned for results on this.

No Dolphin tour today but JW says it is on the schedule for Friday. We’ll see. Guess we’re staying tuned for a lot. Well, stay tuned . . .
