Today, I spent working on tax returns.  Tonight we are going to a Mexican Potluck here at Haines Creek RV Village.

Thursday, March 10, 2011,  I put our new house batteries in the motorhome.  Then we had to go to the dentist for cleanings.  After another great lunch at Chick-fil-A,  we went to the storage unit to see if we could downsize from a 10 by 10.  We were told that a 5 by 10 would now be about $5 more than our 10 by 10, and a 5 by 5 was definitely still too small.  Next fall we plan to move our storage unit to Bushnell, FL.  IMAG0153

Wednesday, March 09, 2011.  In the morning I removed the house batteries after Jack suggested how we could keep the refrigerator working.  I screwed the house positive and negative wires into a piece of 2x4.  It worked, but kept going off when we put a load on the inverter/charger.  In the afternoon, we mad a Sam’s Club run to get the new 6 volt house batteries followed by a WalMart stop.  Then on the way home I decided to stop at Barnett’s to see if my new tires hac come in.  They are, so we made an appointment for Tuesday, the 15th at 8AM to have them mounted on the motorhome.

Tuesday, March 08, 2011.  We went out to lunch with Maryanne and Joe Mellon on their boat through the Dora Canal to Al’s in Tavares.  The town now bills itself as the Sea Plane City.  We had a good lunch with wonderful company, and we were able to see planes take off down the boat ramp, into the lake, and then the air.2011-03-08 DSC02026 entering Dora Canal2011-03-08 DSC02027 Dora Canal2011-03-08 IMAG0152 Tavares sea plane dock2011-03-08 DSC02035 Tavares sea plane dock2011-03-08 DSC02037 Tavares sea plane dock2011-03-08 DSC02038 Tavares sea plane dock

On the way back into Lake Eustis, I was able to get a good picture of an Osprey.2011-03-08 DSC02046 Osprey near Dora Canal

Monday, March 07, 2011.  I put the last of the MCD screens up in the motorhome.  This one was not easy, because I had to lie on the kitchen counter below the cabinets. Marilyn had to take pictures.                 2011-03-07 DSC00873 Larry and MCD kitchen shade2011-03-07 IMAG0143 Larry and MCD kitchen shade

Sunday, March 06, 2011.  We spent the afternoon visiting Charles and Nancy Elkins in Lutz, FL.  Always a pleasant visit.

Today, Feb 21, 2011, we drove the motorhome to Little Willies RV Resort in Arcadia, FL for the Escapees Chapter 15 rally.  We had good hot dogs and chips for dinner.  We have 15 rigs and 28 people so far for the rally.

Today, Marilyn and I, after the normal trip to the storage unit, WalMart & Publix, worked at getting the motorhome ready to move tomorrow morning to Escapees Chapter 15 rally at Little Willies RV Park in Arcadia, Florida (about 120 miles south of Haines Creek RV Village in Leesburg).  Everything is put away except for the electric, slides and jacks.  Of course, now that it is 5:00PM we can relax with Manhattan’s before dinner, and type up the blog.

Last night we had a hotdog and potluck picnic here at Haines Creek RV Village on the bank of Haines Creek.  The following pictures show that everyone had a good time.
