We had thought about going back to St. Andrews State Park today, but woke up without a lot of ambition. Forry did get started on a couple of "fixit" jobs. One that he's been thinking about and one that just popped up yesterday...
We've had an occasional leak in the back on the bedroom slide caused by the gasket not folding out properly. When it stays tucked in and the rain drives from that direction, the water comes inside. Forry had bought some strips of rough adhesive that he put on in the hopes it would create enough friction to pull the gasket out properly. Of course, doing that job meant that the ladder had to be taken off the top of Toad -- a job in itself.
The other job came up just yesterday when all of a sudden the clothes I took out of my Splendide washer were WET! Sopping wet! I tried running them through the spin portion of the cycle again, but that didn't help a bit. Fortunately it was the last load of clothes. So this morning, Forry took the drain assembly apart to clean it. He did find a nickel caught in there. Hopefully, that's what was causing the problem. I'll have to find something dirty to wash so we can see if it's really fixed.
I used the second half of some stew beef I had purchased and frozen to make another batch of stew for supper. Onions, turnips, a rutabaga, parsnips and a small sweet potato -- um, um good!
