after a rather soggy Sunday. Woke up Sunday morning to go to the Geocaching Breakfast and the rain was steadily beating up on the roof of the M/H so we just figured the breakfast would do fine without us........rolled over and went back to sleep. Finally, weather showed signs of clearing up later Sunday afternoon so we headed down to the Marine Base to pick up some grub at the commissary. Got about two miles from the base when it decided to start raining and then hail came tumbling down. Cars were pulling over to the side of the road; but, we were dumb enough to keep driving. Some nice hunks of hail came down; but, not big enough to do any damage to the car. Checked the weather report today and found that we had .89 inches of rain. Rainfall for the year is 3.75 and thats already .75 over the annual rainfall for Yuma.
Knee is starting to feel better and I'm getting around the M/H without crutches........just using a cane when we go out; but, still not walking too far. Did manage to go to the casino today.........big mistake 'cause all the money I won a few days ago went back to them...........plus my weekly allowance.
Got a KVH dome on the M/H for television; but, haven't been able to figure it out. Finally got a guy out here to check it out and he found everything was working; but, it was programmed to go out and search for Directway satellites. He gave me a phone number for another guy who is able to reprogram the unit for Dishnetwork. That Dude showed up today; but, he still has some more work to do and a part to order so will be back toward the end of the week. It'll be nice to just push a button and have the television up and running. Will probably cost me an arm and a leg though. I'll still haul the portable dish around.
Also found someone to install a CB antenna and my old CB in the M/H. He'll be out tomorrow and get that done. Getting closer to heading back North. Will see what the Doc ses about the old knee on Thursday and hopefully we'll be heading out of here around the 25th.
Later. W&B
