Sounds great Barb! I'll give you a call when I get a better idea how the week will go.jim, we will be available that week, and would love to show you our dairy farm.
Not a lot going on with Fort trip planning. I ordered a new satellite dish last week. Our last camping trip I couldn't get all 3 Direct satellite signals to come in. That usually means a tree or something else blocking part of the signal (DirecTV hits 3 different satellites with one dish). I moved the dish to an open field and same results. Great signal on the "primary satellite" (101) but really weak signals on the other 2. Everything was working fine on our Branson trip a few weeks ago. After I got home the receiver (same one I take in the RV) worked fine, so it has to be a dish problem. I suspect the curve on the actual dish is off. I take it apart and it goes in the RV basement. Either that or a bad LNB (nose cone that contains an electronic switch to blend all 3 signals onto 1 cable).
That also brings me to the dilemma of how do I bring the satellite receivers with me when DW is home until Wednesday and will want to watch TV. She could bring the receivers with her, but she is flying Frontier and a carry on bag is $$$. She had planned on sending everything in the camper and flying without any bags. I may have to show her how to watch internet TV off Direct's web site.
Other than forgetting to put our Mickey neon light back in the camper, I'm as packed as I'll be until I get back from my conference in WI in 10 days. Then it is a weekend of packing, prepping and fueling and we're on our way. 15 more days!
