February 1-15, 2024 RV Water Heater and Other Miscellaneous

Feb 1 - Thursday-Today we ran errands then went to Linda’s for hair appointment. After that it was a stop at Homeland and a trip through the car wash. Steve worked on the gutters and I held stuff for him. I made Chicken Pot Pie for supper.

Feb 2- Friday-I again was the assistant to Steve while he worked on the gutters. It seemed those expensive things we bought  have pulled away from the house in a spot and are not doing the proper job. Later I paid bills and renewed our RV Roadside Assistance and a few other things as needed. 

Feb 3-Sat-We discovered that the RV Water Heater is leaking. Steve started taking it out of the RV. I was the mechanic assistant again. I help with tools and moral support. It was a difficult process. We order a new Water heater from Camping World. Our was 20 years old and had a horrible crack!

See the big crack!

Feb 4-Sunday-Today we did a few errands, laundry, Grocery store and post office. I got on the phone  to cancel my Total Care Contract with Best Buy. They said it should show up as a refund to the credit card in 7-10 days. (Guess what? It didn’t-so I had to call them again!) Supper tonight was Chicken Enchiladas. 

Feb 5-Monday-Today we went to Stillwater. Our first stop was Lowe’s, then Belk and Walmart. We got back home and unloaded all our stuff. We relaxed and ate leftover chicken enchiladas for supper.

Feb 6-Tuesday-Today We had hair appointments at 10 AM. I got a trip and hair color. Steve got a haircut. Then we picked up our mail. After lunch I held the light for Steve to check the heater in the. Then we did some computer work. We went out to supper at La Macarena with Linda and Hazel. 

Feb 7-Wednesday-Today we putzed around. After doing our routine things Steve also fixed the seat belts  and cleared the spot for the water heater. We also to a nice walk. 

Feb 8-Thursday-We called Camping World and the RV Water Heater had arrived. So we left for OKC to pick it up. We also made a stop at Lowes. Then we drove toYukon and met with Kristi & John at Chili’s for  supper. We also ate ice cream at Dairy Queen. That was fun!

Me!

Feb 9- Friday-Today Steve started working on installing the water heater in the RV. That took up most of his day. We made a few trips to the hardware store. The thing is, the new water heater is a different brand. Why? Because the company that made the water heater we had, was out of business and we had to go with Atwood brand. The new one replaced this model. But of course the connections and holes, etc. don’t exactly match. 

Feb 10-Saturday-More work on the water heater. It was chilly today - so we stayed inside until about noon. Logan came up about 5:30 or 6:00 PM to visit with us. He left about 11:30. We had a nice visit. 

Logan - He had National Guard Duty today so he wore his uniform.

Feb 11-Sunday-Today was the Super Bowl. So we took that in most of the day. Kansas City Chiefs won! Yea! It was a good game. 

Feb 12-Monday-Today Steve started his new meds for MS. He had trouble with flushing and tingling for 15-20 minutes after he took it. It was an expected side effect, but rather disconcerting for him. We did laundry and bill paying. I called Linda to wish her a Happy Birthday. 

Feb 13-Tuesday-I didn’t record much today - so it was pretty routine. I did go to Thorn’s to get Linda a birthday present. Later, we joined Linda and Hazel at Stillwater to eat the celebration supper at Texas Roadhouse.

Feb 14-Wednesday-Happy Valentine’s Day! We did routine morning things and had lunch. About 12:15 we left for OKC. Today Steve meets with the back doctor (pain management) to see what to do for his back -either ablation or steroid shots. We were home a little after 3:00 PM. He and I went to La Macarena for fajitas to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 

Valentine's Day flowers and cards!

Feb 15 - Thursday-We made our run to Walmart this morning. We got back home by 12:30. We put away our stuff and had lunch. The afternoon  was spent relaxing. I made Meatloaf, cheesy potatoes and salad for supper. It was good!
