Super Bowl Week

Had a quiet weekend as the campground had a number of astronomers here. There were all sizes of telescopes and some with cameras attached. They generally stay up late so they sleep later in the mornings. Did our usual Sunday church and shopping and returned to handle the ‘blue-boy’ empty job before we had desert. One of the other volunteers had made a sour cream raisin pie so we all gathered for desert and story sharing.

Monday we started putting the paint coat on the maintenance shop. We worked until nearly 2 and by then it was so hot that the paint was drying too fast. The bike ride home was a bit of a challenge after climbing up and down ladders, but we made it. So far we’ve ridden about 120 miles, most of it too and from the shop area for work.

This is a picture of what our site looks like from the prairie behind us.

On Wednesday we made the hour plus drive to Sebring to get the bad tire replaced. We had been emailing the area sales manager for Denman tire and he told us where to get one. Was expecting to pay for it and then get reimbursed, but when the Tire Kingdom manger called the Denman guy, all we had to do was sign and drive away. This was the tire that lost tread on I95 in Georgia. It never blew (was still holding 62 lbs today) but you can see from the picture, the tread did let go.

Anyway had a good day in Sebring and took care of a few errands and it was a different drive than that long run to Okeechobee.
