Good Ending to the Week

With yesterday's attendance of 5981 fans, it was about 70% of the attendance from Saturday's "circus" between the Rangers and Dodgers. Of course, the game yesterday was between the CO Rockies and the KC Royals, won by the Rockies, 10-1. Spring training games can turn into slug-fests, as the managers are trying to see as many pitchers as possible before getting down to the limit of players they can carry on the roster for the regular season. A consequence of that is that we see a lot of 13-12, 10-9, and games where lots of runs are scored and many pitchers are used.

We had a very good flow at our stand where we easily managed to keep everything available to the customers, without any problems. We even ended the day with a good performance in balancing our transactions. There was only a $76 discrepancy between the cash taken in - around $12K - and the goods that were sold. Everybody was happy, and that's the way to end the week.

Now, Josie puts on her florist hat and has to still work our days off from the games at the production center. They are short days - around 5 1/2 hours - but she is still suffering with some kind of allergy or sinus infection. She is looking forward to April when she once again can enjoy three days off per week.

Our mobile tech is scheduled to come out today between 3 and 5 PM to complete the work on our hydraulics. Maybe we will finally be able to completely level our fifth wheel for the rest of our time here at Lake Pleasant. It has only been off a small amount, but enough to notice while walking through the rig. We also have a slideout problem that may require a visit to a dealership to have corrected. As we are so busy in March, that may have to wait until April to get some attention...
