Meeting With Managers

Last week I mentioned that the hard drive in our DirecTV box was dead and we had to get a replacement box from DirecTV. Well, it came on Monday and I installed the new box that afternoon and packed up the old, dead one, and took it to the office yesterday morning to be picked up by FedEx. While there, Terry asked if Josie and I could come down at 11 AM to have a short meeting with the managers that arrived late Monday afternoon. We went down and met with the managers, Jim and Mary, until about noon. We discussed responsibilities, schedules and the operation of the campground and had some casual conversation that allowed us to get familiar with each other. Our initial reaction is that they will be nice folks to work with. They will be taking every Sunday and Monday off, and we will get every Friday and Saturday as our days off. This is the first time that we will get at least one weekend day off as part of our normal schedule. Sounds OK to us.

The run of rainy days continues. There have been 8 consecutive days of rain, totaling over 4", since we arrived. That is only an approximation since the weather station blew over on Monday night and there were several hours that we didn't receive any data, except temperature. The winds also continue, although today we haven't had any gusts over 10 MPH - yet. We know this is unusual weather for this time of year since we keep seeing the reports on TV about all the unexpected snow that is in the passes and on the western slopes of the mountains that are between the ocean and I-5. We had hail late yesterday afternoon, so we know there is more snow in the hills. As a result of the weather and the meeting yesterday, we stayed home and did some stuff around the fifth wheel.

Depending on the weather again today, we may venture out to someplace that is nearby. There is an outlet mall in town that we want to check out, so that is a possibility. The casino is another option but we would like to save that for after pay day, which is tomorrow. Of course, we have to work tomorrow, so we'll see...
