Big Excitement

Nice day today, back to shorts. More old acquaintences arrived today, all with stories to tell of snow at home and the weather on the way down. Funny thing, Marg did laundry & the dryer ate up too much credit from her laundry card, so we had to strip the bed and wash everything in sight so she could use up the dryer credit. Well it was funny if you were here at the time. Played some pool & as usual made the difficult shots, while missing the easy ones. Reminds me of a Robbie Burns quote - "There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing." Hey happy Robbie Burns day - raise a glass & toast the famous Bard. In the evening we went to the buffet down on Signal Butte. It's really the best one around, lots of variety and the food is all good. You have to see it to do it justice there is so much variety. When we got back to the RV, I heard water running & went around back to check, thought my water hose had ruptured. Well, it was much worse, the buried main line had. The water was bubbling up out of the ground just behind the rv and a river was flowing down the sidewalk. Went and notified the office and at first they seemed like it was after hours & I should have waited until morning. I say at first, because when Curtis saw the river, he called in the maintenance staff. They had to shut water off for half of the park, so we had a parade of concerned campers. The guys dug a hole right behind our RV to get at the break & by the time they finished it was big enough that Richard was sitting right in the 5ft deep hole. They had it all repaired & back in service about 10:ooPM. Earlier in the day the mtce guys were doing a repair & I watched for a while; joking that I was offering to supervise, if they needed a do nothing supervisor. This morning Gary was cleaning up the mess & again had lots of watchers discussing it and he said they wouldn't have been able to do it without my supervision, proving again - that what goes around comes around.
