Awake: 7:33am Temp 45 sleep 6+04 sunny…windy overnight @ Mission, TX.
Kathy makes her special sourdough pancake breakfast this morning. It’s great!
Today @ 2:00pm, the Daytona 500 NASCAR race begins in Florida. Gary is an avid NASCAR race fan & would like to watch it on our big screen TV. So after breakfast, I search all the DirecTV channels we get + raise the antenna for local channels that might have coverage; nothing on either. Next I call DirecTV to “pay for view” for this race. They want $100.00 for the season. That would be ok for Gary I suppose but he won’t be watching the sports channel in our motorhome & that’s not our cup of tea.
We call & take turns talking with G & R in Pennsylvania. They made us feel good by telling us stories of having to shovel snow numerous times to keep their driveway open due to strong winds.
After G & G return from their church services, Gary signs up for the sports package on his small TV in their Georgie Boy motorhome asking for a full screen viewing channel. Turns out it’s a split screen called the “hot patch” & on a small TV, one doesn’t have a very good view of any activity on the (3) screens. Gary spends a good 45 min trying to negotiate a full screen with the Asian girl from the Philippines to no avail. Finally, he gets switched to a supervisor who allows him to continue watching the HOT PATCH channel & after the race, will cancel that channel contract without a penalty. It was the 1st time for K & me to watch an entire NASCAR race. Actually pretty exciting; especially when getting to witness (4) main crashes.
7:15pm dinner @ G & G’s motorhome: Salmon chowder with corn bread & carrot cake for dessert. Very good dinner with some exciting race watching times.
