Tuesday, November 6 – Our voting precinct is right here in Rainbow's End, so we were able to walk over and cast our ballots early today.
Only in Livingston would you find this type of sign.
We also are getting the 5th wheel and truck weighed today. We first drove the truck fully loaded with fuel and supplies, as it would be on a typical travel day onto the scales.
Mark Nemeth reads the scale.
We then returned to our campsite and hooked-up the 5th wheel. We returned to the weighing sight for the final weighing.
Chris helps out with the weighing.
The results were very good with all four corners of both the truck and the 5th wheel coming in way under maximum allowed weight.
Chris and Mark go over the results with Paul.
We now need to download tire statistics so we can adjust inflation rates. Since we are under weight, we can reduce the tire pressure in both the truck and 5th wheel tires.
After weighing, we pulled-out for the two hour drive to the Stafford Elks Lodge on Route 59 just South of Houston. We are frequent visitors of this Lodge, staying here whenever we are in town visiting our daughter, Carrie. We are at site #6 and will be here through the Thanksgiving holiday.
Look at that blue sky, and the temperature is in the 80's….ahhhhhhhh!
It still looks like summer here with all the green trees and bushes still in bloom.
Most of the afternoon was spent trying to aim the satellite dish properly and get reception on the TV. Two of the neighbors were here offering their advice, Marsha was on the phone with Direct TV, and eventually we were successful in getting reception. We did find out that it will be necessary for a service technician to pay us a visit to fix our receiver. We do have a picture, we just can't record on the DVR.
With the TV working, we settled back to watch the election returns and spend the evening unwinding after four hectic days traveling from Ohio.
ON A SIDE NOTE: While taking pictures at our weighing session today at Escapee's Rainbows End, Marsha was reading the SmartWeigh poster.
She looked closer and noticed a picture of us at our last weighing in Livingston two years ago. It was on the poster advertising Escapee's Smart Weight Program. Then later that evening while reading the latest edition of the Escapee's magazine (November/December 2012), Paul saw the same picture on page 96, the last page in the magazine. Pretty neat!
That is our Phaeton in the upper-right hand corner and Paul and Mark.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day!
