February 6 -9, 2024

We have two days off now, Tuesday and Wednesday.  Tuesday, 2/6, we just chilled out and Chris and Jim came over and we played some Euchre and Five Crowns.  It was a lot of fun.  On Wednesday we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and we opted to go to a couple of RV dealers in the area.  They are plentiful and very close.  We can see just about any make and model we would like.  It was like our own private RV show.  However, the first order of business was to have breakfast at Johnny D’s Waffles. This is one of our must eat at restaurants when we come down to the area.  My favorite is the Red Velvet Waffle.  It is absolutely the best.

Thursday it was back to work.  While waiting on some campers to leave, I did the dishes.  Once I had finished I noticed a large amount of water on the floor.  We soaked up the water and left towels down and went back to finish up.  Once we were done for the day, I checked under the kitchen sink and noticed a very small amount of water on the floor.  Actually it was on a paper towel I had put down to determine leak.  I had Nancy run some water and I checked some fittings.  Nothing.  I had here plug the sink and let it fill part way.  Then when the plug was pulled I found the leak.  The drain pipe was loose at the “S” trap.  I tightened it up and no more leak.

Friday 2/9 we had plans to go to Chris and Jim’s for dinner and games.  We opted to bring a salad.  They were fixing a Parmesan Meatloaf, made from ground chicken and some steak fajitas.  I am not a big fan of ground chicken or turkey but the meatloaf was good.  I wanted to do a fancy salad, so I decided to do one I remembered from when I worked at DeValleta, a poached pear salad.  The salad is a combination of 50/50 mix of spring greens and spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, crushed walnuts, sweet diced onion, and bleu cheese and the poached pears.  The pears were poached in a port wine.  It turned out very good.  After dinner we played Rummy Cube.
