Day 3064

A sunny day here today and 25. Its 20 here now.
Out for a walk this morning. After breakfast Ruby went for her walk with Diane & Ruth. I drained some water from our hot water tank to check it out - all good. I then cleaned out the eave troughs with the shop vac - lots of stone from the shingles and pieces of shingles in them. Also resealed all the screws on the deck roof, resealed the joins in the eave troughs and did some repairs on the down spouts. Then we went over to Fred & Diane's for wine time before supper. Skyped with the family after supper.

Day 3063

A sunny day here today and 24. Its 19 here now.
Me, Darrell & Mike went to a golf course in Clearwater to hit some balls on their driving range, do some chipping, putting, etc. While we were gone Ruby went for her walk. After we got back home I went over to Mike's to check out his hot water tank in his fifth wheel - he wasn't getting any water from the tank. Found a plugged check valve on the outlet side of the tank. Removed the valve and cleaned it and also replaced the anode rod - all ok now. When Ruby got back from her walk she made and installed valances over the bedroom windows. I went to a place here in the park to check out a printer for them. After that I did up and posted the stats for the golf league. After supper we, along with Darrell & Maryann, went down to Lawrence & Teresa's for a few games of Fast Track.

Day 3061

A sunny day on the road today and 26 - got cooler as we drove back to Largo, 17 here. Its 13 here now.
Left our rental on Margo Island at 0800. Stopped in Naples for breakfast. Took the scenic route driving back - stayed of the interstates and drove through the city / towns to see a few of them. Stopped in Apollo Beach to see the manatees at the power plant there - when the gulf waters get cool they gather in the water from the power plant as it is warmer. Then we headed back to our park arriving there at 1600. Had a great 3 day trip.

Our travels today.....
