Febuary 1-27 2020 Another Wet Month

The first weekend we headed to Kenna's volleyball game in the Woodlands.  Ashley was off this weekend and Sammi's team was playing in Missouri City. Sammi was injured (collar bone issue) and was not playing. Kenna injured her ankle in the second game when she came down wrong on it. We left after she was hurt since she was out for the rest of the day.  Susan needed to start packing for a quilt retreat anyway. We had our first beautiful day in awhile.  I washed both truck and car that evening.  On Sunday Susan headed to her retreat near Madisonville until Thursday. I just piddled around because its still pretty wet .  I did some troubleshooting on my JD lawn tractor. Its not starting or even turning over. It has some kind of electrical issue. Later that day we found out that Mackenna's foot is broken. She will wear a boot for 6-8 weeks.  We had another pretty day on Monday. I filled up my deer feeder in the pasture even though it looks like I'm feeding more coons than deer. I figured out my lawn tractor issues, a bad battery and a blown fuse. I continued to take down old pasture fence since its a little more dry. Susan made it home Thursday, it was a cold and windy day so I didn't move much outside.   The next weekend
we went to Ashleys tournament.  Ash had a good tournament and so did her team as they got a third place finish.  I started cleaning the inside of our trailer getting ready for some small trips. I also have a few repairs to make also, The underneath of fifth wheel skin needs to be replaced and also the fill water line to my fresh water tank needs to be replaced. Ive been waiting for some sunny days to do that. On the 12th I had my annual dr visit and then we also went to the rv show. I would like to downsize and go to a bumper pull trailer. The problem with the rv show is you see all these roomy floor plans that are really nice  but then you see that they are 36-38 ft long. Not what I'm looking for.  Its going to take some compromise to reach a 30-32 ft trailer. I had my annual check-up at BCM.  Eveything was good except my A1c.  This was not unexpected because I pigged out Nov,Dec,and Jan.  I'm now back on my diet track (which sucks).  I plan on getting below 200 lbs and my A1c down to a 6.5 by the end of May.  We finally got around to shopping for floors. Susan found what she wanted and they are going to install them on the 26. I went to Lowes and Home Depot and bought baseboards and new toilets . On the 23 I went with Kevin to pick up his old Chevy truck in Bryan. Its just been sitting at Kyles for 2 years. It needs a few things done to get it running so we loaded it up and brought it home.  On the 25 Susan left for another small quilt retreat at Kristi's lake house. She will be gone as they work on the house. I moved all the little items out of the way in the house. The flooring guys will move all the furniture. I also pulled our old toilets out so I moved to the trailer untill all the work is done.  They showed up on Wednesday and went to work, by Thursday around 3;30 they were finished.  I only had to spend one night in trailer .
