Seminars

Today was a day for more seminars and a last chance to chat with, and buy from vendors. The picture is from the entrance to the fairgrounds. This morning we both went to a seminar on Digital Cameras, but didn't learn much. The lady mostly showed and talked about the camera equipment she had and why she bought it. I had been hoping she would do a basic review of what all the little symbols on the camera mean -- guess I'm going to have to break down and read the manual again!

While Forrest went to a session on Insurance, I went to one on Tech Tips for Women Only. The guy who taught it was most adament about NOT letting any males in the session -- not even to listen in! He spent most of the time explaining things that women had questions about, but had been unable to get an explanation (at least one they understood!) from their husbands. The guy runs an RV Repair business and spent quite some time explaining to one lady just what exactly he had done to her coach yesterday. I did learn a few things, though mostly about things I hadn't already quizzed Forry about.
We had leftover pizza for lunch (each of us who helped last night were given one to take home) and then Forry went to a session on Diesel Engine Performance. I, again, didn't see anything I wanted to go to, so stayed home and got started on another ruffle for the baby outfit.




This afternoon's final session was done by Mac, the Fire Guy. Mac is a retired fireman who does incredible classes that have to do with fire safety and teaching people how to use fire extinquishers (foam) effectively. We had gone to one of his classes a couple of years ago at Life on Wheels where he had done a pretty darn good job of scaring us to death. This time he still did a good job of scaring us. After the first time we heard him we ended up getting more fire extinquishers for the rig and replacing the one that had come with it. We do want to get one that mounts in the engine compartment, but he was all sold out by today (he had a class yesterday) so we'll have to order one and have it sent to us in Dulzura.
We went out to dinner tonight with Tom and Juni. We were very good ordering shrimp and salads, but then blew it with fabulous desserts -- Bananas Foster and Triple Chocolate Brownies (though we did share them...!).

  1. Sounds like you are having a blast. I am still sad that Mac wasn't at LoW.

    Triple Chocolate Brownies don't sound like something that should be bypassed. :-)
