Super Sunday

We just finished watching the big game. We didn't really care how things turned out. We have friends and neighbors who are Packers fans, so we cheered them on. Mostly, we wanted a good game. And, we got what we wanted.

Besides the game, there were a few other things that made this day super. First off, the sun was out! And, we loved that. We soaked up the sunshine while we made a Walmart run and a stop for some tasty pre-game burgers.

At Walmart we picked up the essential ingredients for our new tank care regimen. Our friends Gary and Francile arrived Friday and yesterday discovered their waste tanks were plugged. They called on the services of a most helpful and informative local tank cleaning service. Before long their tanks were squeaky clean and we learned a lot on our friends' dime. We were glad to hear we are doing things right as far as our tanks are concerned. The one recommendation the tank cleaning gals offered was a recipe of Pine Sol and Calgon Bath Beads that should keep the gray and the black smelling fine and slickery clean. This afternoon, Paul mixed up this super simple concoction and dumped it in our freshly dumped tanks. So far, so good!

The most super part of our day was Paul working his magic on our flapping slide topper. As you might recall, earlier this week we got hit with a 56 mph wind gust that pretty much spent our driver's side topper. Paul called a local Carefree tech who expressed confidence that he could take care of it. But, it would be Monday before he could come out. Over the last few days, our imaginations ran wild and we had prepared ourselves for a repair that would range from $100 to $1000.

With this morning's sunshine and warmer temperatures, Paul decided to climb a ladder and get a closer look. Within minutes he snapped the 20-something-foot spring rod back into its c-clamp and the topper sprang back to life.

Yeah, Paul!

With big bucks saved, we were ready to whip up some snacks and kick back and enjoy the game. We're not true cheeseheads, but like all Green Bay fans, we're thankful this turned out to be a pretty super Sunday.
