I think that is her new Walmart.&#160; She needs to stop in there at least 3 times a week? <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Walmart<\/strong> on the other hand\u2026 I have only been in there maybe twice in the past 4 weeks, once in Kilgore to get some antacids and the other <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> to pick up some grocery items I wanted (whole wheat bread)\u2026 so my shopping is really dropping and I don\u2019t find as much stuff in <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Walmart<\/strong> anymore that I can\u2019t live without.&#160; ( I also lie sometimes)&#160; That said, I always get more than I go for when I do get in there and I practice using a list but seems there is always <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>something<\/strong> that wasn\u2019t on that list that I had to have\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>When we got back I remembered, that Friday I had gone out to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>run<\/strong> the motorhome and found the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>road<\/strong> battery dead?&#160; I try to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>run<\/strong> it at least once month when it is in storage.&#160; Somewhere I have a drain on the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>road<\/strong> batteries and have not been able to track it down.&#160; Slow drains are a real problem when you have so much stuff on them. I got the jumper cables out and linked to the house battery and crossed to the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>road<\/strong> battery then got it started.&#160; That charged the batteries back up some, but I could not let it <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>run<\/strong> very long on Friday,so today I figured to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>run<\/strong> it some more today.&#160; I got it started this time ok but they were still low.&#160; I may have to put a trickle charger on the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>road<\/strong> batteries to compensate for the drain since I can\u2019t find what is causing it.&#160; That may be a project for the next two weeks?&#160; or Maybe not?&#160; One other little problem is that when plugged in to charge the House batteries it does not charge the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>road<\/strong> batteries?&#160; I thought it used to do that but now it does not so that is also <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>something<\/strong> to try and trace out.&#160; Damn ,always <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>something<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once all that was done I <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>set<\/strong> out to fix supper.&#160; I had picked up some potatoes to bake (microwave style) and some peppered chicken breasts to grill.&#160; The potatoes turned out pretty good but the breasts had a bit too much pepper and I let a couple of the really thin ones get too dry.&#160; I need to practice more I guess. That was about it for Saturday.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Today was another slow start.&#160; Got the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>paper<\/strong> and caught up on the \u201cnon-news\u201d.&#160; We had two BB games today \u2013 double header with both Women and Men&#8217;s playing one after the other.&#160; We left a little early to get some lunch on the way and made it to the first game.&#160; The Women are playing rather well this year but are loosing players.&#160; They only have 9 players left.&#160; Anyway they played Vermont and two unusual things I noted during that game\u2026
