The New, Improved Ken and Lee's RV Adventures

After having maintained a very nearly daily blog for the last seven years, I've decided to try a new approach. From now on, Ken and Lee's RV Adventures will feature occasional posts, mainly when something of special interest has occurred in our traveling lives. I (Lee) will continue to write the blog posts, and Ken will continue to provide photos to enliven the accounts.

I'll post at least briefly whenever we are on the move, so that friends and family will know where in the world we are. A visit to a national park will definitely rate a post or several, but spotting an interesting bird might rate a post too.

Anyhow, we did move yesterday, after spending several days preparing, wrapping up our tasks at Green Gate Grove. We had been settled there since November 19, over four months, so our hitching up and moving skills had gotten a bit rusty, as usual. We used our checklists, but I still overlooked an item, which Ken caught. He reminded me that that's why there are two of us!

We had a problem with our rooftop satellite dish. It refused to stow itself, and we had to call Winegard tech support, but the fix was relatively easy. The tech support person walked us through some menu items on the control box to recalibrate the dish, and voila! all was well. We stopped at Bert Ogden to get our annual refrigerator maintenance done and have the RV safety inspected. Then we went to Costco and headed north--but not too far. We're in Edcouch for a week.

Last night we went to our final McAllen Community Concert. The program was titled "Simply Sinatra," and the vocalist provided some enjoyable renditions of hits recorded by Sinatra and some of his contemporaries. The backup band played big band sounds to complete the illusion of being transported back to the 50s and 60s.
