May 26 – Still pretty chilly again this morning, high 40’s but it turned into a really nice day.  I made some venison sausage for breakfast with almond pancakes and eggs for Bill.  About the time we finished, ranger Doug stopped by to bring Bill paint and supplies for him to do some scraping and painting of the big electric panels.  Bill had told him it needed done and he’d be happy to do it.

 

Bill was totally bummed when he got up that the TV was again not working.  His radio isn’t getting the best signal either so after he left to go paint I called Sirius to verify what direction that antenna needed to be pointing and she said south, so I went out and moved it, hoping that cures that problem.  Then back to the TV.  It totally baffled me that it would not work.  I thought I’d try a different cable but couldn’t find the other one and then checked the connections going into the RV and when I touched the cable you could hear the signal meter beeping like crazy so I replaced the homemade pigtail with a store bought one and so far so good.  When Bill got back from paint scraping he was indeed a happy camper.

 

After lunch we rode our bikes and took our trash down and checked the loop.  Then we finished putting new carpet on the holey board that we didn’t get done before we left home.  Of course Bill wanted to play a game and as usual he won.  I sat out and read for quite a while.  The sun was out and it was really nice out with no wind.  I got tired and came in and took a nap in the recliner.

We had our leftovers from last night for dinner and walked the loop.  Several new campers came in today and replaced the ones that left.  A lot are here for the big concert at the Darien Amusement park a few miles from us.  Bill had wanted to go until he found the cheapest tickets are $50 in the back in the grass.  Tim McGraw is the headliner and the campground expects that some of the registered campers will be trying to bring in other people to stay over once the concert is over.  There will be park police manning the front gate to check every person who tries to come in.  We should be in bed by then.

 

We walked our loop one last time after dinner and one of the campers needed their vehicle jumped so Bill went over in our truck and jumped them.  Now it’s time to settle in for the night.
