The weather has been really cold, hard freeze cold, but thankfully only for a few days. It is supposed to warm back up starting today to the mid 60's. The 30's make walking not enjoyable at all!
Karen is kicking it! Walking up and down the driveway. Moving around the house. Doing hours and hours of exercise each day, including physical therapy. She will be running circles around all of us very soon.
Jason came and spent two days with us, also found a rental house in Newnan, GA. Stayed busy by getting all the logistic stuff like electric, water, gas, TV, internet, etc. arranged for, not to mention the moving itself. I'm going to fly (yuck) down to FL to help drive his car back up to Atlanta while he drives the moving truck. It will give us a chance to get some of his stuff out of our storage unit, and I'll be able to see Ray and April. If it wasn't for the flying it would be a fun road trip.
Karen has been plagued with an unusual problem on her motorhome that now and then her fresh water tank fills itself!?! Normally you use a valve, a positive acting ball valve, to allow city water to bypass the coach and go into the water tank. And since the problem was so intermittent, it was easy to just sort of ignore. Well, she must of jinxed us, because just the other day we go to leave our motorhome and notice water running out underneath out of our water tank overflow, so now our tank is filling itself as well! Figure it might be a fluke, so we use the water tank for our water, run it back down to about a third, and find out the next day it is doing it again! Well I track it all down, study the schematics, and the plumbing and find out the only way this can happen is if the water is passing through the water pump. It has an internal check valve, non repairable, of course, so we ordered a new pump. We would do the same for Karen, but her motorhome isn't here right now, it's in Texas about to get a new floor installed. So we will take care of replacing her pump later this year.
I have been wanting to try Pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup for a long time, but for one reason or another never had. Well we found a restaurant here in Louisville that had great ratings, so Jan, Jason, and I went. Vietnam Kitchen had at least 6-7 different Phos to pick from, so Jan had a grilled beef one and I had a beef and meatball version. Well, it was worth the wait! It was delicious! We will get back there several times in our time here, and Tom and Karen want to go as well. They have quite an extensive menu, and looking around we saw a lot of very interesting food we want to try. Wow, a new cuisine to explore.
On another note we got the dreaded note from our insurance company saying they would not be offering us health insurance in 2014, so we get to join the tons of folks in the same boat looking for health insurance for the new year. I think I found a solution and should find out in a week or so. More money no doubt, but we, read me, need it.
We have a couple more projects planned in the upcoming weeks to keep us busy, so in the meantime enjoy your fall!
