Crazy Healthy People Mami Parked

Welcome to the beginning of summer, or is it Spring. Regardless, the weather has shifted again and it is beginning to look like late spring, bordering on Summer. It was 83+* and we had thunderstorms after nightfall. The weather maps on the smart phone and the computer showed some pretty wicked storms coming our way. Then, like all season, something strange happened.  The storm coming with from a steady Nor-west stopped, reversed for 20 minutes then turned and  continued south towards us then it  broke apart just outside of our HQ.  We had moderate rain and, in spite of the three siren announcements, only lightening from quite a distance.  It is as thought this whole season, weather-wise (man maybe in other ways we don't understand yet) we have been blessed.   If I could show you the radar you would without doubt agree something supernatural is going on.

Today our package arrived today. A very important package. Our Rv's water heater works off a computer board that handles ignition, safety, temperature, etc.    It only took 4 minutes to install and walla, we had our water heater again. I also bought the  sparker in case it was not the board but didn't need it; will keep it on hand for the future.

Mami slept badly on her right shoulder and has had a bad day with muscle or nerve problem in her back shoulder. She is already suffering from trouble with her left bicep.  So she was n bed or recliner rest (yes one of the rv's front seats turns into a recliner) all day.  I did take her down to Richmond (18 miles away) since I had business there.  I new she was feeling down since she couldn't take care of the fam so I stopped y a sushi place (which serves such good sushi and large proportions for such a low price that I am surprised they are in business) and I got her some inari sushi (sushi rice wrapped in fried tofu skin) {BTW sushi is NOT raw fish....it is vinegared rice....what you put on or in it is your business, but is commonly seen with sashimi (raw fish) on it}.  I also got her unagi nigiri Zushi ( grilled eel on top of a ball of sushi rice. ) her favorite. I wanted to get her out of the rv and give her a treat to make her feel better.  (yes, I know it was out f budget but my wife need the pick-me-up so it was worth the $30 to do it. ...donations to the make Mami feel better fund or the keep the RV running fund can be made through paypal via victor@victorkent.com.

I have some ultra fun news to share with you but am forbidden for now. We will see how it goes but it could be a game changer on some levels.

You know the bible tells us that in heaven there is no marriage. it is the first thing about heaven I am sad about. I know God is infinitely more wise than I but I just can't imagine eternity without my wife. God bless the broken road that brought me straight to her.


This afternoon a group of crazy healthy people pulled into the RV camp. 15 cyclists came into town. They started off in VA and are heading to OR. It will take them a little over 3 months but they are down 2.5 weeks so they are on their way.   Nice folks.  I got to chat with them.  Most are retired or quit their jobs to do the ride. A couple or more are relocating to the west so decided to do it this way.   It was pretty cool to meet them

Kyle turns 21 on Thursday (now).  Yay.  I think he is saving his first beer to share with his dad.   He is a Christian and I haven't talked about his stand on alcohol. I know many are against. I am for it in moderation under biblical guidelines. Viva Pastor Elijah Craig, the inventor of bourbon. (LOL)  If it wasn't for his barn fire charring his barrels then it would just be whiskey. (yuck)

The kids did a bang up job taking care of everything today as Mami took the day off. I am blessed to have such hard working kids.  Even a semi-complicated dinner turned out fabulous.

More to come.......
