Did you park the RV at the campground right along the water? --- the real narrow one?

not yet, that's at Flagler Beach in two days
tomorrow Ft Meyers, then Flagler, then SC
Be careful on the inland part of Ft. Myers - the area was going downhill when we sold our place in Naples two years ago,I and guessing it has not improved. Very sketchy.

back in the rv, found lots of dead ants. (y) Raid worked well.

got my new tire cover installed, cinched down tight as can be, then put a knot in it. We shall see.

should have some showers tonight, then clear tomorrow morning for my drive. about 80 and very sticky out now

looks like a pretty tight campground but rv not very big, not hard to park. My friends in Fort Meyer are picking me up and taking me back to their home for dinner, hope I can get some water views.
would be cool to see some dolphins playing in the River.

I tried to get local commercial truck shop to balance my front tires with the tpms sensors installed. Again....turned down. Busy until end of week, go an hour North, sigh. Not so easy to get motorhomes worked on since you need a tall garage door to get them inside, and today it seems no one is willing to work outside. Except for road service guys, thankfully. So looks like I'll be wiggling along a while longer. Not so wonderful for my brand new front tires. Funny if I go faster, like 70mph, the wiggle calms down. But in the 60-65mph range where I drive, steering wheel shake is slight, but noticeable.

Well, a productive day afterall ! The wind calmed down around 13:00, so got the tractor out and tore into the 2 piles of gravel. Barely covered 1/2 the area I wanted to.....

So another 28 tons coming next week. I'm definitely not happy --- the price went up $4 per ton In two weeks!
Not much anyone can do about that..... I called another quarry thats 15 miles further away and the price per ton was $4 less, but they charge 3 times more for delivery! ($85 from the close place, $345 from the further)

At least, the turn around is graveled.... no more mud! and no more K turns.....

Kilroy, hope Harry feels better now that he started on the meds. He probably picked up the worms at the shelter. Glad you guys caught it sooner than later!

Drew, have a safe return trip. Think of the imbalance as a massage chair..... :rolleyes::eek: Hope it's not too bad of a vibration.

Time to go put the feet up......

Good (Wednesday) arvo. Overnight Low of 12C and it's presently 20.9C, overcast and calm. It rained practically all day yesterday and there was 29.5mm in the gauge at 0900.

Fairly busy forenoon today as it's 'into town' day; script picked up at the Chemist, a case of wine retrieved from the PO (where do these things keep coming from :rolleyes: ). A stop at the 'hardware' store to get a 30 metre length of good garden hose to replace a section of the horse-trough watering system (no water lost... it's a 'stitch in time' precaution) and then groceries.

As I passed the Rectory I glanced over and there was a removalist there, so our new Priest & family have arrived. Yay!

Seeing as I'm dressed, I think I'll tackle taking down a hidden, broken/dead tree branch that seems to be the font of continuous twigs on my lawn.

That's about it, take care all.

Good eye doc appointment, says everything looks great.
Of course, per usual with the dilation it was late afternoon before I could even look outside and it was cloudy, but still too bright.

Propane company delivered this afternoon, 170.5 gallons. That’s gonna be over $1k.
