Hi Dale,

RH> the still water. Today, with lunch, I had a peach one--left over from
RH> last summer, discovered when cleaning out the R-Pod before we traded
RH> it.

DS> Are you getting a newer, bigger one?  Will they give you any credit
DS> for all of the improvements Steve has made?

We traded it in on a Grey Wolf, dual axle, about 27' long, wider than
the R-Pod. They gave us a pretty good deal on the trade; we did take out
some of the improvements but also left a good number in. Whoever buys
this will get a lot more than the standard R-Pod. Right now our camper
is back at the dealership; some problems that should have been caught
even before leaving the factory are being fixed. The new camper has a
bigger fridge, a 3 burner stove, an actual oven and a microwave. It also
has, outside, a small fridge, ice maker and grill if we want to do a
quick meal without going inside. That area, however, will probably be
modified.

RH> I rarely have a pepsi product for the same reason. Became a Coke fan
RH> in college, then my mom inherited some Coke stock so she started
RH> stocking the fridge with it. I switched to the diet Coke in the early
RH> 90s so I could cut my sugar intake a bit--at the time I was drinking 2
RH> cans of Coke a day.

DS> I have never cared for Pepsi.  I like Coke better, perhaps for its
DS> sharper flavor.  OTOH, Coke must have a high acidic content.  We had a
DS> number of Coke cans that have developed pin hole leaks and dumped
DS> their contents onto the shelf.  We now store any Coke only sitting on
DS> a half sheet.

I've been buying it by the single serve bottles, take one to church when
we have a meal with our small group. If I have access to a fountain
machine that has the ability to do various flavors, I'll get a raspberry
diet Coke.


DS> Or son is mostly fond of the Coke from Mexico or for Passover -- no
DS> HFSC.

I got that once when we were in Savannah, much (!) better than the
regular Coke but since I usually get the diet, a moot point.

RH> That was September, 2019.

RH> Nice! We didn't do a lot, mostly just sat around the kitchen table
RH> talking and watching Michael have fun with some of the stuff we
RH> brought. Mark brought some leeks which we used in a couple of ways.
RH> I've since bought some, made potato/leek soup a time or two.

DS> I recall that picnic -- the one where Mark dropped in on us and then
DS> came back next day with a pot of beans.

That was fun, little did we realise that it would be the last one for
Nancy and Michael. Maybe we can think about having another one at some
time?

Got me drooling, just reading that. (G) Steve went to the farmer's
market today, brought home a bunch of greens so we'll do a wilted
lettuce salad with hot bacon dressing over mashed potatoes for supper
tonight with lamb chops.
