Got up bright and early for me...7:30 AM. I know most everyone gets up early, but how many stay up to 2:00 AM on a normal basis? I normally get up at 8:45 AM, however I have to set my alarm for that to happen. Since I don't have a huge commute in the AM I can sleep in. 15 minutes to get dressed, teeth brushed, face washed, hair combed, and glasses on. My first stop after performing the before mentioned ritual, is the coffee maker. At home we have a deluxe Kuerig that works nice and easy, however in the motorhome we have what I consider a baby brother of the Kuerig. 9 times out of 10, I do something wrong in setting up baby brother. Mostly that consists of overfilling the reservoir, and when that happens baby brother leaks all over everything on the counter near by. Baby brother also blinks the blue "feed me" light which begins the process of over filling. It always takes us several days into our trip to figure out what is wrong with baby brother. I think I am getting the hang of it until our next trip. I got up early as Laurie and I signed up for an Oragami photo album craft class, plus I wanted my coffee before hand. Of course while drinking my coffee, Laurie and Bob had flagged down a schuttle and tapped on our door to see if we were ready. Of course we weren't. So we ran around trying to get everything when I thought why am I racing around, when we are going to ride our scooters anyway. Grabbed our credentials, maps, seminar booklets, locked the door, had to reopen door as George didn't have his motorhome keys and hopped on scooters to go down to dining hall for nasty coffee and yummy glazed donuts. After we finished the guys went to a seminar on Spartan Chassis, and Laurie and I went to the craft class. I am a bit challenged when it comes to Oragami, and just as expected, I had some difficulty with the folding, however I did prevail and I actually ended up making a second one too. After printing out photos when I get home, every triangle will have a different photo on it. The finished project with the photos glued in is pretty cool. Check back for photos as it takes a day or so for the import to take place from my phone. Today I had consistant problems with the extreme tension on the locks for the scooters. So since I couldn't get the darn thing unlocked inorder to use it, and I didn't want to leave it unlocked, I picked up the whole thing and put it in the SUV. Laurie and I went to an interesting seminar on Velcro. Did you know that most velcro glue stops holding in heat above 120 degress F? Did you know that there is a high heat Velcro which holds up to 220 degrees F? A closed up motorhome is 95 degree F outside temps can reach 185 degrees F inside. Thats why when we travel with our dog in the summer months we always have the generator running with the A/C on. We all ate dinner at another Rally buffet which consisted of a pig roast as well as grilled chicken as the main entrees. After dinner we went to a seminar by the RV Doctor. Another very informative seminar.
