Howard in his Happy Place






The Fleetwood rally is over and it was pretty good. We met some real nice folks, some of whom happened to be our neighbors, and some we just happened to run into. We met Howard and Ginny (on the left) by the horse barns where Kat was looking (hoping) to find a husband for Jade. We didn’t find a husband but we did find a few cats to feed and met Howard and Ginny. And then I kept bumping into Howard. All very nice of course because Howard definitely was in his ‘happy place’. Just another ‘happy camper’ enjoying the RV lifestyle. Howard just doesn’t mind showing it. He was fun! Then we met Jim and Alvada at our first dinner. Jim is a fellow woodcarver who later showed me a different way to do ‘eyes’. Real cool! And it was nice to share perspectives from our neighbors Rich and Alicia and Glenn and Connie who were from Michigan and New Jersey respectively.

This is the first rally we have attended where meals were served on a regular basis. Three dinners and maybe four breakfasts. Very good too! Especially when you consider there were about 900 folks here. 410 rigs plus Fleetwood folks and maybe some vendors.

Entertainment was good. ‘Blue Suede Crew’ (?) did Elvis and Johnny Cash impressions. Good if you’re a fan I guess? But I liked “Three Guys, Thirty Instruments’ They were good, funny, and did everything from Willie Nelson to ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ with Tina Turner in the middle.

The Fleetwood people looked at a couple of problems we had and we spent some time looking at all the vendors and their wares. Of course we bought a few things, the biggest, or should I say most spendy, being ‘TireTraker’, a tire pressure/temperature monitoring system. With 10 sensors it will monitor our six coach and four car tires. Got to set that up today.

So I’ll be back and yak’atcha s’more later!
