In Bridgeport, TX at Bay Landing TT

Arrived in Bridgeport around noon.  Last 20 miles in the rain.  It has been raining off / on all day.  In space # 110 across from club house.  50 amp will cost $3.00 per day.
We worked over an hour (in the rain) trying to get the Jacks level.  They kept erroring
Out with "excessive slope".  Finally used manual adjustment to get level.  Both back
Tires are off the ground.

No glider annual Saturday.  Expecting rain.  Try for sunday.
TV stations are nill.  CBS & CW were fading in / out.

We have reservations until June 19th (Monday).

Wednesday, June 7th:
No rain since Monday.  Temp in low 90's.  Had app with Audiologist Dr. Julie Mistic at
Wise Hearing Solutions in Decatur Tuesday.  Took 1:20 to get my hearing aids software updated and adjustments made.  Aids were programmed to the wrong ears.
Much better, I can hear my wife again.  Now I just need a translator.

Lake is very full.  I am going fishing this evening.  Jan fed the local park ducks that were working their way to each trailer.
