RV Show

We went to the La Mesa RV show at the Glendale Stadium yesterday. This particular show was the biggest that they ever held as almost all of their inventory from their two stores (Phoenix & Mesa) was there. Normally, they have a representation of their inventory but this time they prepared for the busiest time of the year for RV purchases.

Our goal was to see any new equipment available and to size up opportunities to replace our current RV before it becomes a cash cow. Reluctantly, we accepted the fact that a new replacement just isn't in the cards without our winning the lottery or enjoying a huge cash windfall from somewhere. The outcome was a decision to do what we needed to do to bring our RV up-to-date with the required fixes. It will be a lot less money and will allow us to get another couple years or so use from our present investment. It has served us well so far for 11 years.

The forecast for this next seven day period shows no temperature reaching 70 or higher on any day. I know that weather differs from year to year but we would sure like to see some sunny days in the 70's this winter. When we look around the country though, we are not bad off compared to many...
