Activity at the Lake

We remember this event - Bill Luke Bass Days - as an annual family event at Lake Pleasant. It actually doesn't begin until Friday, but there is a flurry of activity to prepare for this huge event. As I was leaving to go to Home Depot to pick up some Roundup for our site, I took a few shots of all the trucks, tents and preparation for this event. Starting with the sign at our entrance:

And all the tents being set up for the vendors:

And these trucks bringing in the rides and booths to be assembled:

The entire parking area is fenced off and it will be an exciting weekend here at the Lake. If I were a fisherman, I could be serious about competing for some of the nice prizes. There will also be games that carry a cash prize like the Cornhole Tournament, and live music on Friday and Saturday night. If we aren't too tired from our spring training games, we may venture out to the festivities.

Josie is still suffering from sinus congestion and will see a doctor soon if it doesn't start to improve. I give her credit for hanging in there every day and going to work. She rarely ever misses a day of work and has to be really sick to stay home.

An appointment was made at the Orangewood RV dealership in Surprise to take our fifth wheel in for the slideout repair. It will be Monday, March 17, and we need to get the rig ready for the trip between now and then. We are hoping that it will only be for the day, but are prepared to stay overnight - on site in the rig - if necessary. They have hookups outside the service bays for customers to be able to take advantage of that free service.

We begin the downhill side of our spring training schedule today as we work the game between the Texas Rangers and L.A. Angels at 1 PM...
