Day's Adventure
Time to take the house to the garage! Up early (ugh). Nervous that everything will work (silly me).
But the slide came in, the jacks came up, the satellite went down...off to a good start.
We dropped off the MH at the Ford dealer at 9:30 then headed out to explore a couple of Regional Parks. First we went to Yucaipa Regional which is in San Bernardino County. Wow! Lovely hilly, wooded park with concrete and paved campsites that are very large. Just the parklike setting that we dream about. Darn, I forgot to take a picture. But this will be close enough to family for short term visits...two week limit.
Forgot to mention that getting there took us through Oak Glen, the apple center of SoCal. We stopped at Apple Annies for a little snack of apple turnovers, ham and egg sandwich and coffee. It was realllly cold up there...39 degrees and windy.
Next we headed for Rancho Jurupa Regional which is in Riverside County on the Santa Ana River. Wow again! What a beautiful upgraded area they have added.
This very long site has a huge grassy common area that would be great for bocci ball :) I think any site here would work for us and they have some wonderful kiddie play areas like a little waterslide park. What fun it would be to have Evan for a day at this park! Again, a two week limit. Hope we can get in here for our late May stay back in this area.
We picked up the MH about 4:30 after a stop at Sonic for a burger and tater tots. Oh yummy but was I ever stuffed. I really only needed 1/2 a burger :)
Our setup back on our space went fine, even checked out the car/ MH conections, and was uneventful until I punched the button to put up the satellite. Nada. Tried and tried. We decided to just let it be and watch TV...deal with it tomorrow. But of course Jim had to punch the button to "search" again and voila...up it goes.
Then I turned on my computer and got a strange message that the computer had discovered a new network. Well...downhill from there. I watched TV while Jim tried to discover what was wrong. No luck. After I went to bed he found that his computer had the same problem. He was too pooped to work on it so turned off the computers and came to bed.
(Well I said uneventful but will confess that Jim fell off a short ladder while putting down the awning. His fall was thankfully broken by my lounge chair. He says his knee is a bit stiff. What a lucky guy!!)
This morning we expected to spend the day in frustration trying to resolve the problem, however...Windows suggested that he power down the modem and then restart it. Yipee...the correct IP address came back. What in the hell happened we will never know. I'm just thankful that we could have a lazy coffee morning, not one filled with four letter words :)
Tomorrow we look will join the family to celebrate Hilary's 23rd birthday. More memories for the bank :)
