Thom decided to join me in being sick.  I don’t think I gave it to him though.  He came down with it just 2 days after I did.  I’m definitely getting better… last night for the first time since I got sick I managed to spend the whole night in my bed instead of upright on the couch.  To top it off, I slept almost all night long.

We’ve met a very nice couple from Oregon at the contact station.  We signed them up and did a bit of talking during the signup, inviting them to stop by anytime.  They visited us last week a couple of times.  During our discussions we invited them to come setup in our area and yesterday afternoon they finally moved in.  With us being sick AND having to work today and tomorrow we haven’t had time to spend with them yet, but plan on changing that soon.

We have an issue with the lights in our bedroom and it’s driving me crazy!  We have 3 florescent fixtures on the ceiling in the bedroom.  The first fixture entering the bedroom had to be replaced under warranty the first year we had the trailer.  It still seemed to go thru tubes much more often than any light fixture should.  About 2 months ago the bulbs died again so Thom took the bulbs out of the second fixture (which was working fine) and put them in the first fixture… no workie.  Then he took those bulbs and put them back in the middle fixture… no workie.  What the hell’s going on?  We put brand new tubes in the middle fixture… no workie.  Now we have 2 fixtures that won’t work and the 3rd one we have to tap to get the bulbs to light.  Scarey.  Tonight the 3rd fixture quit working.  Thom put new bulbs in it… you guessed it… no workie.  I guess we need to check the ballasts, but the way things have died, I personally believe (with no electrical knowledge at all) the wiring in the bedroom is all mucked up!

We count on Marv way too much, but maybe he can help us out when he gets back.  He had to go back to Utah to deal with medical/housing issues with his father and will be gone a week or so.

It’s time for me to hit the shower.

Ya’ll stay healthy ‘n happy!

Toodles.
